Thirty-eight-year-old Japanese pop singer and actress Noriko Sakai bites her lips during a news conference in Tokyo September 17, 2009. Sakai, who is indicted for drug possession and use, was released on bail on Thursday after her arrest on drug charges on August 8, 2009.

Japanese actress Noriko Sakai was released on bail Thursday, 41 days after she was taken into custody³ on drug allegations that triggered a media frenzy⁴ and concerns about growing drug use in Japan's entertainment business.

Police arrested Sakai, 38, in early August after she turned herself following a weeklong disappearance⁵.

She was later formally charged with violating an anti-stimulant law and is to go on trial beginning October 26. The Tokyo District Court approved her release this week on 5 million yen⁶ ($55,000) bail, Tokyo police said.

Escorted by police, Sakai walked out of the police station as hundreds of tabloid⁷ photographers, reporters and fans waited.

"I'm truly sorry," she said, bowing deeply.

Sakai was initially⁸ seen as a distraught wife who went missing after her husband's arrest on drug charges, but later became a suspect herself. Her husband faces similar charges and will be tried separately.

The scandal has dominated headlines for weeks in Japan, and authorities have said they will crack down on drug use in the entertainment industry.

"Actions by celebrities⁹ could make a big social impact, especially on young people," National Police Agency chief Masaharu Ando said last month. He urged the entertainment industry "to eradicate¹⁰ drug problems."

Sakai debuted¹¹ in 1986 at age 15, but rose to fame through acting¹² in TV dramas and singing in the 1990s. She was among the first Japanese actresses to perform and gain popularity in Asia.

Her promotional deals, including one with carmaker Toyota, were pulled and her contracts canceled after the scandal emerged.

If convicted, she could face up to 10 years in prison. But most first violations¹³ bring suspended sentences.
