It is early afternoon on a spring day. On her way to a select store, she was hit by a heavy rain shower and frowned a bit.
Entertainers are always very busy. For successful celebrities, it is said that they sometimes spend six months or more filming and interviewing without a break. They go shopping to reward themselves, to prepare meals for their families, or for a moment of relaxation with their loved ones. …… Shopping is a time for them to forget about work. This magazine has witnessed some very popular celebrities taking time out from their busy work schedules to enjoy shopping.
Actress Haruka Ayase, 37, got out of a car parked in front of a building in Ebisu. At the time, she was appearing in NHK’s historical drama “Idaten: Tokyo Olimpic Story. In her spare time, she had come shopping with a woman who appeared to be her manager. He was wearing glasses with his bangs completely up, and his clothes were casual and off-duty.
She was wearing a dress and bag from the high brand “Maison Margiela,” although her clothes looked casual at first glance. It is not uncommon for busy celebrities to wear jerseys to work, but Ms. Ayase often finds time to shop, so her everyday clothes are stylish as well. She buys things intuitively, and when she thinks, “I want it! ‘ she actually goes to the store even when she is not in between jobs.
We have also seen the true faces of other successful celebrities who enjoy unexpected shopping, such as Yu Aoi (37) and Ryota Yamasato (45), a married couple who go to the supermarket together, and Ryoko Yonekura (47), who buys rice balls at a convenience store. From luxury brands to supermarkets and convenience stores, here are 14 people enjoying their fleeting moments of shopping.

We spotted Nagano at a select store in Roppongi. She wears a bag by Prada, for which she is an ambassador, on her shoulder and chooses a vest by Burberry for her upper body.

The tall, black-clad beauty who emerged from a high-end supermarket in Hiroo, where celebrity encounters are common, was in fact Yonekura in off-mode.

Yuriko Ishida (53) March 27/April 3, ’20 issue
Ishida went shopping for daily necessities at a department store at night after the gym; she has five shelter cats and a shelter dog, so she bought more pet supplies than she did groceries for herself.

Maayu Matsuoka (27) April 6, ’18
On an evening in mid-March, after finishing a performance at the Shinbashi Enbujo, I had a slightly late lunch alone at a famous soba noodle restaurant in a department store.

He quickly returned home to his luxury townhouse where his wife, children, and five cats were waiting for him.
Aoi and her husband Yamasato are still in love with each other three years after their marriage. This magazine has witnessed them always walking shoulder to shoulder together for meals, shopping, and walks. On this day, they went shopping together in the neighborhood. They were happy as can be, smiling and looking at each other from time to time as they walked.
We spotted Takeuchi in an upscale residential area in Minato Ward in the mid-summer afternoon. He looked back and saw his girlfriend, Miyoshi, who was wearing a bucket hat with her eyes deep in the back of her head. They get into the same car together, and Takeuchi drives them in the direction of his home.
