Now it's official that Sawajiri Erika is going to divorce Takashiro, but there is yet another unconfirmed rumor that might explain the whole situation.
Several tabloids including "Yukan Fuji" and "Tokyo Sports" are reporting that Sawajiri is dating the son of a French millionaire. It was the famous reporter Nashimoto Masaru that discovered and published the story about her new wealthy support.
"It's rumored that there is a certain millionaire acting as Sawajiri Erika's contact person for her activities in Spain. That person is currently pushing forward her debut in Hollywood and sent her recent beauty clinic commercial to several officials in the industry. He is also advertising her huge popularity in Japan in order to get her a role," he revealed.
Other insiders also claim that it's actually the son of French millionaire who is supporting her and that he is more than just a business partner. They also say that he invested a lot of money into her office in Spain.
The Tokyo Sports also clearly states that she is indeed in a relationship with this wealthy young man. "He invested in her new agency and also works as the president, of course. It's also said that Takashiro actually knows this person, but it seems like he only thought of him as a business partner of his wife." This tabloid reports that the beauty clinic commercial will work as PR for her Hollywood debut as well. "It will happen sooner than expected. A Hollywood movie with Sawajiri Erika will probably already open this fall."
This doesn't mean that she will continue to ignore the Japanese market. There are still the news about her upcoming contract with the Japanese major label Avex that will include at least one new single and a new album within this year. Tokyo Sports actually claims that they are already about to start with the recordings.
Takashiro is said to have used 2-3 million USD to back her up with her career restart, but with the recent news his support might have only been a small stepping stone in her upcoming career. There are also rumors about him having debts now. Though I don't want to claim that money was one of the reasons for the divorce.
One thing is for sure, it will never become boring again now that Sawajiri is back in the headlines.

- Wow, as I thought.. Erika. Dasar bandel.
- Cukup bingung dengan motivasi dia nikah. Udah bikin pre-marital agreement sepanjang dan se-materialistis itu, eh dia nya malah maen2x dan maen cerai2x in aja.
Sempet denger sih dulu waktu di awal2x pernikahannya, dia bilang ke temennya klo pernikahan ini adalah sebuah kesalahan. Tapi ya tetep ajaaaa.... $___$ - Dia mau masuk AVEX! Nggak relaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
AVEX itu labelnya Do As Infinity!! Ban-chan dan Ryo (plus Otsuka Ai, ELT) yg sangat berbakat itu kenapa harus satu label sama diadan Ayumi Hamasakisih, hiks hiks.
Berarti ntar tiap kali A-Nation kita bakal ngeliat Erika yang nyanyi aja sulit? Huhuhuhu. Meskipun lagunya dia dance-dance gitu sih. Mgkn itu yg bikin AVEX tertarik kali ya (liat contohnya Ayumi, TxT titipannya oom Joni Kitagawa, Girl Next Door (cmiiw).. tetapi tentunya tidak begitu dengan Do As Infinity, mereka gak ada dance-dancenya ^____^)
Trus karena itu Sawajiri Erika, pasti di youtube ada di featured video bagian atas. Sangat merusaaakkkkk. Okelah dulu sih Sawajiri Erika berbakat (1 Litre of Tears menangiskan berapa banyak orang tuh?) tapi melihat kelakuan dan realitasnya kayak gini, bikin sangat amat malas. Pindah SME aja DAI, biar selabel sama HAIKARA (dan sini kembalikan MAAKI =P) trus bisa bikin lagu-lagu keren kayak dulu lagi. hihi. - Akhirnya saya mengerti kenapa Erika dulu tidak jadian sama Ryo-kun ^^"
Moga-moga Erika cepet tobat deh. Kembalilah ke jalan yang benar nak..
Dan moga-moga DAI tidak terkontaminasi oleh dia kalo Erika beneran ke Avex. Hidup Ban-chan dan Ryo the kuusoo ryodan, jgn kepengaruh ama AVEX!
