Police have an arrest warrant out for missing actress Noriko Sakai in connection with the arrest earlier this week of her husband for alleged possession of stimulant drugs, investigative sources said Friday.
Her husband, Yuichi Takaso, 41, was quoted by police as saying Sakai possessed the drugs.
Tokyo police are continuing to search for the 38-year-old former starlet and singer, who grew hugely popular in Japan and other parts of Asia in the 1990s, and plan to arrest her as soon as they can.
