Sakai, 38, pleaded guilty to using and possessing illegal drugs at the hearing, during which prosecutors requested an 18-month prison sentence for Sakai, who was arrested with her husband last August.
"It was a very thoughtless act," the Kyodo News agency quoted Sakai as telling the court about her drug use. "I must correct myself. I feel miserable."
The entertainer reportedly also said she plans to divorce her husband and start a new career nursing the elderly.
