Reports have come in that 18-year-old actor Yuya Yagira was hospitalized early Friday morning after an apparent suicide attempt. Yagira had attempted to overdose on drugs in his Tokyo apartment, but someone called emergency assistance and he was taken to a hospital. His condition is said to currently be stable.

Reasons for Yagira's suicide attempt are unknown at this time. His agency has not mentioned any details, but they said that they are currently looking into the matter.

In 2004, Yagira became the youngest winner of the Best Actor award at Cannes for his performance in Hirokazu Koreeda's "Nobody Knows." He has appeared in a few movies and television dramas since then, including last year's "Houtai Club" and a voice role in the animated "Genius Party."

The current issue of FRIDAY magazine reports that V6 member Junichi Okada and actress Yu Aoi are dating. The pair were seen sharing an umbrella in the rain, and they also went shopping at a supermarket before heading back to Aoi's home for dinner.

Rather than denying a relationship, the agencies of Okada and Aoi simply declined to comment on their private matters.

The two appeared together in the 2005 drama series "Tiger & Dragon," which apparently led to romance. A close source says that they have broken up and gotten back together multiple times since then.

Yasufumi Terawaki, one half of the starring duo in the hit detective drama "Aibou," will be leaving the show after the upcoming 7th season. Along with co-star Yutaka Mizutani, Terawaki has been one of the most recognized TV detectives during the past decade.

The show started in 2000 and has had a 6-month run every year since 2002. A film version opened in May and has been one of the top-grossing pictures of this year. A spinoff film is in the works, and the 7th season is scheduled to run from October to March.

It has not been revealed how Terawaki's character will leave the show.
