Sakai, 38, has not been seen and has not responded to repeated phone calls and e-mails since police found her husband late Sunday with illegal drugs, said Masahisa Aizawa, president of management agency Sun Music.

"A missing person's report has been filed with the Akasaka precinct (police)," he said in a televised press conference.

"If Noriko is watching this, please know that we are worried so much and please talk to us," he said.

Sakai, who became intensely popular for her girl-next-door image in the 1980s and the 1990s, went missing after her 41-year-old husband was arrested for possession of "stimulants," a Japanese category of hard drugs, that include amphetamines and methamphetamine.
