ZakZak reports a Shukan Gendai claim that a group, including actor Yosuke Kubozuka and K-1 fighter Yamamoto Kid, are suspected of smoking dope at an apartment in Shibuya in January of this year. Police apparently raided the premises but found no illegal substances. Yamamoto was asked about the story at a recent press conference where he claimed it was just a vicious rumour and denied the allegations. However, an unnamed partygoer claims that he brazenly smoked a joint with his wife, showing no concern that it was illegal, and with his two kids looking on. A friend of Kubozuka is also quoted suggesting that he openly swore off drugs after surviving a fall from a ninth floor condo in 2004 which apparently happened after he had taken ecstasy. There's no indication of why police searched the apartment but, since a neighbour is quoted claiming suspicious goings-on, it's likely that they were tipped off by someone in the block. No more parties have taken place there since the raid.
