Repenting Katsuhide Uekusa of “Shonen-tai” after His Motel Scandal with a Young Sexy President.

It was in March of last year that this magazine “FRIDAY” reported the affair of Katsuhide Uekusa (56) of “Shonen-tai,” who was one of Johnny’s’s biggest stars. On the night of Valentine’s Day, he drove himself to meet his lover at a cheap love hotel in the suburbs of Tokyo. Moreover, the other woman is a sexy and beautiful president in her 30s who helps Uekusa with his YouTube and live-streaming. This must have come as a shock to the Japanese fans of yesteryear, so let’s look back at the details based on our March 31 article (ages and titles in the article are current at the time of publication).

Driving herself out for an outing

It was still chilly on February 14, Valentine’s Day night. A man dressed in a down coat, black cap, and black mask emerged from a love hotel in the suburbs of Chiba City. He was Katsuhide Uekusa, 55, of “Shonen-tai.”

Uekusa came out of a cheap love hotel, where a two-hour costs from 3,000 yen. He walked to his minivan parked in the parking lot and removed the blindfold board that was propped up on the license plate. Uekusa moved the van to the entrance of the hotel, and a woman quickly got in. She was a beautiful, model-like woman who resembled the actress Maki Tamaru. After getting her in, Uekusa’s car drove off in the direction of Tokyo.

Many of you may not have heard the name “Uekusa” in a while. The Shonen-tai was once called “Janie Kitagawa’s masterpiece.” However, since he left Johnny’s in December 2020 with Kazuakiro Nishikiori (56), Uekusa has not been very active.

One reason for Uekusa’s departure was the death of Mr. Janney. The other reason seems to be that he felt that if he stayed with Johnny’s, unlike Noriyuki Higashiyama (55), he would not be able to build a place for himself in the office. He left “Shonen-tai,” and although the group has not disbanded, he has not been active as a member of the group at all.

After leaving the office, Uekusa started his own private office, opened a YouTube channel, and even tried his hand at stage direction. However, it was not as successful as he hoped for.

Uekusa is currently obsessed with a beautiful model-like girl who was staying with him at the love hotel. She is in her late 30s, and let’s call her Ms. A. A friend of Uekusa’s tells us, “The identity of the other party is…

Ms. A is the president of a company headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, which is engaged in event planning and PR business. Ms. A originally worked part-time at a directly managed store that handled products for a company that was the parent company of the current company. There, he was recognized for his abilities and was selected as a department manager, and then became the president of a subsidiary company established to expand the entertainment business.

She is now an independent president, having received a transfer of shares from the former parent company in the form of a “goodwill division.” It seems that she is also helping Uekusa-san with YouTube and Instagram live-streaming.

Indeed, this magazine also witnessed Uekusa, his manager, and her shopping together, and her presence at what appeared to be a dinner meeting. However, it is clear from their behavior at the beginning of this article that they are not mere business partners.

Uekusa married a woman who was his junior in high school in 1994, and they have one son and one daughter. Their oldest son is Yuta Higuchi (27), now an actor and singer. However, they divorced in ’10, and his two children were taken in by his ex-wife. Uekusa then remarried in ’13 to an ordinary woman, and they had a daughter. Despite the fact that he has such a wife and a young daughter, he is still infatuated with Ms. A.

In late December of last year, Uekusa and Ms. A visited a love hotel in the suburbs of Chiba City, just the two of them. This hotel was also a relatively common, with rates starting at 3,000 yen for a short two-and-a-half hour stay. Uekusa, perhaps not wanting to be seen, ran to her car as they were leaving the love hotel. Ms. A also got in the car, and the minivan Uekusa was driving drove off toward Tokyo.

Uekusa’s own answer can be found at…

Uekusa, one of Johnny’s biggest stars, drove himself to a love hotel in the suburbs of Tokyo. In late March, we asked Uekusa directly after he parked his car near Shibuya station.

–I asked Uekusa, “Mr. Uekusa, are you in a relationship with this woman?

We are not dating.

When this reporter asked him this question while holding out a picture of Ms. A, he repeatedly said, “We are not dating.

–You have been to a love hotel, haven’t you?

No, I haven’t.

–I have confirmed that you have been there more than once.

No, I have not gone!

Uekusa says that Mr. A is “a business partner who is helping me with the delivery system and other things,” and insists that there is “no fact” that he went to a love hotel. However, the reality of the situation is as you have seen so far.

When interviewed by a women’s magazine in 2002, Uekusa was asked about her life as a remarried woman, to which she happily replied, “I hope we can create a warm family. I wonder if Uekusa remembers those words today.

I’m going to change my mind and do my best!

On April 8, one week after this report, Uekusa updated her blog for her fan club, and although she did not mention the contents of the report, she wrote

I’ve been thinking about it a lot, but no matter what I say, my words and thoughts will be twisted.

(original text only). Since she had denied having an affair when directly confronted by this magazine, she made a meaningful statement as if to deny the contents of the report again, but at a concert held at Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall on May 3, she took this action.

I am truly sorry, everyone.

He bowed his head and said

I will change my mind and do my best,” he declared.

He declared, “I will do my best to change my mind. True to his word, he energetically held dinner shows and live events at the end of the year, performing with Issei Nishikori (57) of “Shonen-tai” and former members of “Hikaru Genji” Junichi Yamamoto (50) and Hiroyuki Sato (52). Uekusa is scheduled to tour in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka in May 2011, and we look forward to his youthful activities in 2011.
