Manabu Oshio finally admits he was aware of drugs

In the ongoing investigation of the Manabu Oshio drug case, Oshio has once again changed his testimony. This time, he finally admitted that he knew that the pills he took were illegal, contradicting his previous claims.

Oshio was arrested earlier this month after police found a woman dead in a luxury apartment. Oshio had been with the woman prior to her death, and it was confirmed that the two had both taken some amount of MDMA (ecstasy).

Immediately after his arrest, Oshio stated that he took a pill that he received from a friend. He later amended his statement and said that the woman had offered it to him. Since the start, he had claimed that he was unaware that the substance he took was illegal, but he has now admitted that he knew all along. Police are still investigating his dubious claim that the woman provided him with the drugs.

Meanwhile, the latest issue of FRIDAY contained an article saying that Oshio had previously used drugs overseas. The magazine interviewed a woman who reportedly met Oshio while working as a hostess at another Tokyo club. She visited Oshio while he was in the U.S. for work, and at his hotel he offered her ecstasy before they had sex. This continued for several days, and she said that she even passed out at one point due to the drugs. If true, her story suggests that Oshio had his own supply of the drug and used it heavily.
