The magazine reported that there were several other people at the club at that time, with two girls who were underage. The legal drinking age in Japan is 20.Yamashita checked into a hotel, with one of the underage girls spotted taking a taxi to the hotel later. The girl left the hotel at about 1pm, with Yamashita leaving about five minutes later.
The agency said both artistes were not aware of their real age, as the girls were introduced to them by other friends at the club. The agency did not mention anything about Yamashita's stay in the hotel. The Japanese media wondered if Yamashita would be suspended by the agency the way artistes Hikaru Iwamoto and Keiichiro Koyama were for similar offences.HBO Asia's new thriller series set in the Antarctica. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
