Official Announcement from StardustToday the talent agency Stardust Promotions has finally made it official that they terminated Sawajiri Erika's contract at the end of September. We still lack any solid hints at what this "serious contract violation" might have been, but at least we finally have some kind of official statement regarding this matter.
Stardust managed all of Erika's activities, her short music career under the name of ERIKA, all her photo collections, her work as an actress and so on. That's also the reason why it took them so long to make a proper statement, they had to cancel or adjust the deals on all of those branches.
Right now she's once again staying in Europe with her spouse, the hyper-media creator Takashiro Tsuyoshi. There are various speculations about what she's going to do next like simply studying abroad, making a fresh start as a professional graphic designer or maybe even reviving her acting career in Europe. The only thing that seems certain is that she probably won't show herself to the Japanese media again for a while.
Her will to resume her acting career is still very strong as far as we know and her agency even wanted to get her into an epic movie project, but in the end they maybe couldn't take her selfishness anymore and had no choice but to part with her.
