It was early afternoon in the middle of the Bon Festival. The midsummer sun was shining brightly when a Parisian-style couple emerged arm in arm from a luxury condominium in Tokyo.
 The beautiful woman with blonde hair and a flamboyant Dolce &amp; Gabbana set-up is Erika Sawajiri, 37, a resident of the apartment.

 Next to her is a wild man with wavy long hair, sunglasses, and a mustache. He is Mr. A, a handsome man resembling Nobuyoshi Kuwano (Kuwaman) of &#8220;Rats &amp; Star&#8221; fame, who was with Sawajiri when FRIDAY reported in its June 30 issue that Sawajiri was seen naked for the first time in three and a half years.
 They headed for the parking lot reserved for condominium residents and got into a white Crown parked there. After chatting with each other in the car, perhaps discussing their destination with the navigation system, the car started off. Mr. A took the wheel. The first stop was a dermatology clinic. Only Sawajiri went inside, while Mr. A waited in the car the whole time. After that, they stopped by a pharmacy and then went to Roppongi Hills.

 They went to a floor lined with fashion brands. Mr. A was watching over Sawajiri, who was examining the products in one corner of the floor. As she headed to the cash register with a fluffy fluorescent green dress in her hand, Mr. A cracked a joke and the clerk laughed hysterically while she waited to have her dress altered. Sawajiri smiled at the scene &#8211; a happy sight.
 Afterwards, the Parisian couple went home after having a smoke together.
 After that, Mr. A continued to live at Sawajiri&#8217;s apartment. He spent his days driving to work at a select store he had set up with his own brother that sold vintage eyeglasses, sunglasses, and antique jewelry, and returning home in the middle of the night. Sawajiri&#8217;s recent appearance on the YouTube channel of Avex Chairman Katsuhito Matsuura became the talk of the town, and it was to Mr. A&#8217;s store that Sawajiri headed in Mr. Matsuura&#8217;s Rolls-Royce because she wanted to &#8220;fix my sunglasses. The A brothers were outside the frame of the camera. In other words, they are living together halfway, which is officially approved by both their families and their offices.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 When we directly confronted Mr. A, he replied, &#8220;Sawajiri-san?　The actress? He blurted out, &#8220;She is a very beautiful person,&#8221; and exuded affection for her.
 &#8211;Mr. Matsuura came to the front of the store, but that means he knows about the relationship, right?
 I neither deny nor confirm. If I had to say, my cars are old Mercedes 111s and Rolls-Royces. My daily driver is a first generation Century. Please don&#8217;t take a picture of me (on a date) when I&#8217;m driving my substitute car, a Crown. I started getting a lot of &#8220;Kuwaman, Kuwaman, Kuwaman,&#8221; and I thought, &#8220;What is this? I thought, &#8220;What the hell is this? All men with all backs, mustaches, and sunglasses are &#8220;Kuwaman.
 While joking around, he made no comment about their relationship, perhaps to protect Sawajiri. Mr. A walked away saying, &#8220;Don&#8217;t be a hoe man, &#8230;&#8230;. This cheerfulness may also be a source of support for Sawajiri&#8217;s resurgence.
