<p>The shopping arcade was packed with elite foreign-capital salarymen, inbound tourists, and celebrities who had come for a mid-season break during the rainy season.</p>
<p>Located in one of Tokyo&#8217;s most exclusive residential areas, the shopping district is also famous for its gourmet restaurants, including a popular French restaurant, an okonomiyaki restaurant frequented by celebrities, and a members-only horse meat restaurant. On holidays, the area is crowded from morning till night.</p>

<p>The only cars that pass by are Maseratis, Aston Martins, and other top-class luxury cars. Among them, a Rolls-Royce 2-door coupe stood out the most.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;It was characterized by its reverse opening doors, which were designed to allow women in long dresses to get in and out elegantly. It has a powerful engine displacement of over 6,000 cc and, depending on how it is customized, the price for a new car is no less than 46 million yen&#8221; (a reporter from a car magazine).</strong></p>
<p>The Rolls-Royce comes to a stop in front of a café full of people. The passenger door opened and a petite woman in a white T and overalls got out.</p>
<p>The ladies who were relaxing on the open terrace of the cafe looked at each other and laughed, as if they thought a British lady was in the car. But when they saw the macho man who got off next, they couldn&#8217;t help but lean forward.</p>
<p><strong> &#8216;I&#8217;m pretty sure that&#8217;s him!&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>He started searching on his phone, <strong>&#8220;See!</strong> &#8221; they cheered loudly.</p>
<p>The man who got out of the Rolls-Royce was ELLY (35) of &#8220;J SOUL BROTHERS 3rd Generation&#8221; and influencer Riho Minami (27), whom this magazine <a href="https://friday.kodansha.co.jp/article/258692">had scooped about &#8220;living together in a townhouse</a> &#8221; in July last year.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p>Minami used ELLY&#8217;s office&#8217;s courtesy car to go out for meals and to the ATM at the bank, so to speak, and was an official friend of the office.</p>

<p><strong> The time they were photographed by Friday was right after ELLY announced the dissolution of her de facto marriage to MEGBABY, a businessman and hairdresser. Moreover, we later found evidence that Minami had been &#8220;hinting&#8221; on SNS and other media that she was dating ELLY before she was photographed by Friday, leading some to ask, &#8220;Is it a plunder? Are they dating for the same period of time? ELLY explained her relationship with Minami again on her SNS.</strong></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p>A year has passed since then, but their love is still alive and well.</p>
<p>After entering a shopping district, ELLY and Minami enjoyed shopping among the madams at a supermarket frequented by celebrities.</p>
<p><strong> They never left each other for a moment, holding hands, holding each other&#8217;s arms, and keeping close to each other,&#8221; she said. ELLY was wearing a cap and a mask, but her stout physique and blond hair gave her away,&#8221; said a customer who was there.</strong></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p>After about 30 minutes of shopping, they got into a Rolls-Royce again. The destination was not the townhouse where they had made love, but a low-rise condominium in a quiet residential area.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know whose house it is, but it looks like they moved in around last fall, and I saw ELLY&#8217;s Rolls-Royce parked in the parking lot a few times. I think they live together.&#8221; (Neighborhood resident)</strong></p>
<p>It seems that their love for each other has flared up even more after the blaze.</p>
