Tetsuya Komuro, having been convicted of copyright fraud, recently decided to write an auto-biography. The book, entitled Tsumi to Ongaku (Sin and Music), details his life after the conviction which should probably have ended his career. Instead, not only was he bailed out by his label, he was practically given his job back.

It's sort of messed up, especially considering what happened with Noriko Sakai recently. Sure it wasn't drug use, but you'd think defrauding someone for 500 million yen by offering to sell copyrights that you've already sold to someone else might carry a bit more stigma.

Japanese house wives apparently have no qualms with taking their children to the disgraced producer's book signings, but letting up on Noriko Sakai? That'd be impossible. Who could forgive her for being potentially cohersed into taking drugs by producers, management, or even her husband over the years? Not those house wives, that's for sure.

I found it a bit audacious, but Kimura recently had some words for troubled singer, offering the following: "As an entertainer, there is no private or public. It doesn't matter if there are cameras or no cameras, you have to take responsibility for your actions," as if she hasn't already. I guess it must be fun to be captain obvious.
