Turtle travail leaves pop princess Natsumi Abe fuming in the spotlight - MSN-Mainichi Daily News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | Abe is no stranger to scandal, having been forced to temporarily curtail her career a couple of years ago after she was found to have ripped off the work of other artists in an essay collection. |
 | | Abe may have thought that turtles belong in the sea, but leaving it there exposed to the sun's rays would have made it frazzle. |
 | | Abe's agency, meanwhile, has deflected any criticism of its charge, saying that she was only an innocent bystander and the turtle was moved by a member of staff from Wani Books, the publishing company that took her to Ishigakijima for the photo shoot. |
