I feel that ISSA probably couldn’t refuse the photo. It is true that the two were lovers 23 years ago, and Friday reported the details of their relationship as a hot love scoop.

Young couple’s embrace & sleepover love

In July 1999, ISSA was 20 years old. Uehara was only 16.

At the height of their popularity, they were both starring in the movie “Dream Maker,” which was released in October of that year, and attracted attention because it featured their first love scene as lovers. The two hit it off immediately after filming began and developed into lovers. It seems that they frequented their favorite restaurant/bar two to three times a week,” said a source from their agency at the time.

After 11:30 a.m., the couple appeared at the restaurant and met up with acquaintances who had arrived earlier. After about two hours, they left the restaurant and embraced passionately. They picked up a cab and returned to ISSA’s apartment in downtown Tokyo.

When asked about ISSA at a press conference at the time of SPEED’s breakup in 2000, Uehara said, “He’s a good boyfriend,” but the relationship broke up a short time later. After that, there were twists and turns for both of them, but they still seem to have a good relationship as friends in Okinawa” (sports newspaper reporter).

Next time we may get to see them sing and dance together.
