The vocalist of a visual kei band was arrested on charges of strangling a female friend, whose injuries took a week to heal. The suspect, Miyawaki Wataru (27) of the visual rock band 12012, was arrested on suspicion of these injuries. On August 12, at a bar/friend's home* in Toshimaku, Tokyo, the suspect Miyawaki was drinking with three/five* friends, where he got into an argument and allegedly strangled a 21 year old female, whose injuries took a week to heal. At that time, due to the suspect's drunken state, in regards to the police investigation, he has confessed.

*The articles contradict. One says five friends at a house, the other says three friends at a bar. Hopefully this is good news that this accusation may be garbage.
EDIT 1: 9/19 @ 7:32am No new news as of yet, and nothing on the OHP, which is temporarily down due to traffic, from what I understand. Please don't ask me if the band will break up/pause... Right now no one knows anything. Sorry, guys. I'll be watching the appropriate channels like a hawk for the rest of the day.
EDIT 3: 9/19 @ 1:09pm Kisaki blog entry - 9/20/07 ...
In my lifetime, I've made many mistakes.
In regards to the crime I committed, I had to make a big apology, reflect upon what I did, and atone for it.
Even now I'm at the height of this.
Because I believe in that man who understands this, although my ability is poor, I want to give my support.
Note: This is directed toward Wataru.
Figures,Kisaki of all people would back him up << Jerk.
