Well, he didn't learn the first time so he was definitely Asking for it.

Oh man... Sad A truly disheartening moment. I don't think there will be much hope left for Aska to go back to his music career with Chage again when this is all over...

Drug use is a big no, no in Japan and he's lucky he got paroled the first time. I doubt he'll get a second chance.

Why might Japan get tougher on drug laws yet those laws here luctuates between being tough and lax?

Wait he still had a career after the first drug offense?

Damn he was lucky. A real pity that he squandered that opportunity.

If Japanese people don't give you a chance after one drug offense, then they're going to pretend you don't even exist after two.

I guess the Japanese police don't have anything better to do with their time.

Such a shame that man with amazing talent and career is going through this tough situation. Hope he will be able to redeem himself but with a foolish move like that, I doubt that will happen.

It's kinda sad,really. Drug use has claimed the lives of a lot of talented musicians. It's a shame this guy didn't get the message. I doubt that the Japanese justice system will be so lenient with him in the future. He just threw his career away with one stupid act,but then again,that's all it takes,doesn't it?
