I'm not surprised at all really. The Japanese are really this anal. Not even just where celebrities are concerned, I mean in general. If you miss a commitment due to illness, you better be on your death bed here. Also, I can see where suspicions would come from as to why she wasn't able to get a flight because even I'm not sure why Avex couldn't have just hired a private jet.

Also, about these being "tabloids". The articles that they showed in that TV broadcast are from major newspapers. Major newspapers in Japan commonly report this kind of stuff.
