The next day, Takasō's car, parked on a street in Tokyo's Shibuya Ward, was searched.

In the car, 0.817 grams of stimulant drugs were found.

On August 4, 2009, Takasō was stopped by Tokyo Metropolitan Police while walking in public in Shibuya.

When Takasō was subjected to a body search, stimulant drugs were reportedly found in his underwear.

Sakai was summoned to the scene of the arrest.
