The police said that Aska tested positive for stimulants from a urine test, and that Aska submitted an affidavit denying the charges.
After Aska’s 2014 arrest, Walt Disney Studios Japan announced that the 13-disc Miyazaki Hayao Kantoku Sakuhin-shū (The Collected Works of Director Hayao Miyazaki) Blu-ray Disc/DVD collection of director Hayao Miyazaki’s works will no longer have “On Your Mark,” the music video of a Chage and Aska song, as a bonus.
Two decades ago, Chage and Aska approached Studio Ghibli to make a music video for their “On Your Mark” song.
Before the cancelled 2013 concerts, the duo had been on hiatus, during which Aska and Chage continued to pursue solo careers.
