Jin Akanishi Admitted to Hospital for Gastroenteritis

Jin Akanishi has been admitted to the hospital after visiting the emergency room and being diagnosed with gastroenteritis.

Gastroenteritis is a medical condition that occurs when the stomach and small intestines become inflamed. Stomach pain, diarrhea and vomiting are associated with the condition, which can be both viral and bacterial.

Akanishi first began experiencing stomach pains on September 15th. On September 17th, the pains become severe enough that he decided to go to the emergency room. He was then diagnosed with gastroenteritis and admitted to the hospital for treatment.

“His condition isn’t serious. He believes he’ll be in good shape to perform in his nationwide tour in November. I think that’s why he went to the hospital to get treated,” someone close to the singer stated.

Akanishi’s hospitalization comes on the heels of the singer’s album announcement yesterday. The singer will be releasing a mini-album titled “Mi Amor” on November 12th.
