His new prison nickname will be Anal Aniki.

At least his sister will be able to work from now on. What a way to screw up your life. I mean, he could have been rich and famous, but decided to act like an idiot and now, he'll spend the next 8 years playing "drop the soap". :shakehead:

Fallen Idol Goto Yuuki Gets Prison Time

Former idol singer Goto Yuuki (21) was sentenced to time in prison by the Tokyo District Court yesterday. The judge handed down a sentence of five and a half years - prosecutors had sought eight years - for robbery and assault. Goto and two teenage associates were arrested last autumn after robbing construction materials from a Tokyo site on several occasions last year. In announcing the verdict, the judge said, "As the accused committed repeated crimes for fun and financial gain, motivated by selfishness and greed, there is no room for lenience." He added that Goto was "the ringleader, central to both the planning and the execution of the crimes." In one case a security guard was beaten and suffered a broken nose. Goto was charged with that assault, though he insisted that one of his accomplices did it. In addressing this, the judge said, "The accused's attitude is one of avoiding responsibility and as such he can't be said to have sufficiently repented." The younger brother of former Morning Musume member Goto Maki (22), Yuuki was briefly a member of the pop duo EE Jump back in 2001 but was suspended when caught drinking while underage. He later married - his wife was pregnant at the time - and they are expecting their third child in July. She was in the courtroom gallery with Goto's mother yesterday and he gave them a smile after judgment was handed down.


- Very nice. The guy has 2 kids with another one on the way and still does stupid things like that. :shakehead:
