Erika Sawajiri, who has resumed her showbiz career, is “half anxious, half excited” about her “wild businessman” girlfriend with whom she has been living together for half a year.

’19 Erika Sawajiri ( 37 ) has been out of the limelight since her arrest by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for possession of the synthetic narcotic drug MDMA in November 1964. In September 2011, this magazine scooped the scene of her semi-cohabitation with her new lover, a wild businessman. In addition, three months before that, Sawajiri had been seen in the same place . We look back at the details based on the articles distributed on June 21, ‘ 23 and September 12, ’23 (ages and titles in the articles are as of the time of publication).

Erika Sawajiri: Three and a half years after her shocking hiatus, we caught an exclusive glimpse of her beautiful, unchanged, “blown away smile” (June 21, 2011).

In a line of cars waiting at a traffic light, a coupe with Erika Sawajiri (37) at the wheel radiated an overwhelming presence.

The matte-black car started off as Sawajiri stepped on the accelerator while mumbling something, perhaps a lyric. 20 minutes into the drive, the car pulled up in front of a convenience store, and she got out of the driver’s seat with her purse in one hand. There was no one in the car. It appeared that he was driving alone.

Although it was once rumored that she had gained about 20 kg due to stress, she still looked as stylish as ever. In fact, she may have tanned a bit, and her pheromones even seem to have increased.

Wearing only chain glasses and without disguising herself with a mask or cap, Sawajiri proudly entered a Natural Lawson store. Her next stop was Matsumotokiyoshi. She drove further, this time to a store specializing in vintage sunglasses. Here, she was approached by someone for the first time.

A handsome man with long hair resembling Nobuyoshi Kuwano of the popular chorus group “Razz & Star” came out of the store with Sawajiri.

The two went on to visit a nearby jewelry store. I was curious about her relationship with the handsome man, but she said good-bye to him at this point. As they parted, Sawajiri’s smile flashed for the first time in a while.

The shopping trip ended with a stop at a select store frequented by celebrities. Sawajiri headed home.
