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 15.
On September 17, 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 12.
