I never believe it when I heard it but Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, a member of the pop music group SMAP, was arrested by the police for public indecency after exposing himself in a park in Tokyo.

Police had found him sitting naked by himself in a park in Tokyo’s Minato-ku at about 3 a.m. on Thursday. He was apparently drunk at the time. The 34-year-old has reportedly admitted to the allegations against him.

Law enforcers said a local resident found Kusanagi shouting out incomprehensible statements and called police, who arrived at the park and found the pop star. When being overpowered by police, Kusanagi was quoted as shouting,

“What’s so bad about being naked?”

According to police, a breath analysis test taken 5 hours after Kusanagi’s arrest detected a BrAC of 0.8 mg/L, well over the legal limit.

The media folks are gonna have a field day reporting this, especially since Kusanagi was appointed official spokesperson by the Communication Ministry to encourage everyone in Japan to switch to HDTV before analog broadcasting ends in July 2011 in Japan.
