This year, I’m going to try my hand at being an entertainment journalist. ⁉︎ “Kanjani Eight” Ryuhei Maruyama… “After” his “sleepover date” with a girlfriend 19 years younger than him.

Known for his simple healing character The first love scoop on Ryuhei Maruyama ( 40 ) of “Kanjani Eight” seems to have shocked his fans. It was reported in early August 2011 that he had a “sleepover date” with a woman who visited Maruyama’s home every weekend. The other woman was an office worker, 19 years younger than Maruyama, who looked like “Kanna Hashimoto . The following is a detailed recount based on the article distributed on September 11, 2011(ages and titles in the article are current at the time of publication).

My wife is a handsome fan.”

Ryuhei Maruyama (39) of “Kanjani Eight” said so on a variety show in 2005. Since then, his fans have referred to themselves as his “wife. Maruyama, who is a great writer, updates his blog almost every day and whispers loving words to his girlfriends. But apart from his “wife,” Maruyama also has a woman whom he loves very much.

On a Friday in early August 2011, at 3:30 in the afternoon under the piercing sun, Maruyama emerged from an elegant apartment in Tokyo wearing sunglasses and walking at a brisk pace.

Maruyama is more of a comedian, with a unique sense of words and a strong funny face. On the music side, he plays bass guitar.’ He has been supporting the group as the main vocalist since the departure of Subaru Shibuya (41) in 2006 and Ryo Nishikido (38) in 2007.
On that day, there was a three-and-a-half-hour special of “Music Station” (TV Asahi), and “Kanjani Eight” was also performing,” said a source from the record company.

Maruyama hurries toward the pickup truck. But at that moment, he turned his head to smile behind him and got into the car briskly.

FRIDAY witnessed the encounter.

About five minutes before the car arrived, Maruyama appeared at the entrance. At his side was a petite woman in a mint green one-piece dress.

She is 19 years younger than Maruyama and will turn 21 this year. She used to work part-time at a restaurant in Tokyo, but now works at a dental clinic in Chiba Prefecture.

Maruyama is loved by fans for his simple, soothing character, but it was in Roppongi (Minato Ward), a social gathering place for adults, that the two first met.

Maruyama is a regular customer at a members-only bar that caters to many celebrities, and he met Ms. A about four months ago. I heard that she was taken by someone to the bar and that she and Maruyama quickly developed a relationship. Maruyama is in a serious relationship with her, and we hear that she has introduced him to people such as Ryusei Yokohama (26), with whom Maruyama is close,” said a source at an entertainment agency.

Several times a month, after finishing work, Ms. A visits Maruyama’s home from her office in Chiba, a trip of about one and a half hours.

Maruyama-san appears every Saturday morning before 8:00 am on a live broadcast of “Saturday Plus” (TBS) in Osaka. Therefore, he has to leave Tokyo on Fridays. Ordinary working couples usually meet on weekends or Friday nights, but they tend to meet on Thursday nights when it is more convenient for them,” said a TV station official.

After Maruyama’s car left, Ms. A quietly got into the pick-up cab.
