Actress Erika Sawajiri Returning From a 5-year Hiatus, Reportedly Left a Tokyo Club Intoxicated

Following past controversies regarding drug offenses, Japanese actress Erika Sawajiri was seen at a private club in Roppongi, Tokyo, sparking renewed interest.

On March 15, Yahoo Japan reported that actress Erika Sawajiri was seen drunk at the after-party of a Roppongi club stage in Tokyo.

Avex Group founder Katsuto Matsuura posted a video on his social media of himself drinking and dancing with Erika Sawajiri at a club in Roppongi, which garnered a heated response from the public.

On March 13, Katsuto Matsura shared a video of the after-party with the caption, “I’m having a blast with Erika at Octagon.”

In the video, Katsuto Matsura exclaims excitedly, “It’s finally begun! All night long! This must not be Japan, haha!” Erika Sawajiri then chimes in, lightheartedly admitting, “Well, I’m tipsy”

Viewers were captivated by Erika Sawajiri’s appearance in the video. They commented on her radiant beauty, saying, “She’s stunning anytime!” and “Erika is the most beautiful person in the video!” Others noted her excitement, commenting, “She seems to be having a blast!”

However, Erika Sawajiri’s carefree appearance in the video casts a shadow in light of her arrest for violating drug laws in November 2019. This incident caused a stir, and during her court case in Tokyo, she made a surprising announcement – she would be stepping away from acting.

Erika Sawajiri fueled speculation about a comeback in February with a surprise appearance on an online channel. This anticipation proved well-founded as she announced her return to the entertainment industry after a five-year hiatus by sharing her leading role in the play “A Streetcar Named Desire.”
