Yui Yokoyama ♡ “Junryoku” Shota Gogami: Serious love with Shota Hanri and “living together in a townhouse”!
The stoic former AKB general manager who graduated with "No Scandal" and the only single "Super Sento no Idol" date in a dignified manner!
Yuhan gently …… on the left arm of Gogami.
That day, a small dinner party was being held at a ″hideaway Asian dining house″ in a quiet residential area.
The core members were four men and four women. The dinner started in the evening at this popular restaurant with its owner’s carefully selected furnishings and dishes that require a lot of time and effort, and the party went on for nearly four hours before it finally came to an end after 10 pm.
It was a 10-minute walk from the restaurant to the nearest station. However, the group was in such a good mood and laughing so much that the walk seemed short.
Among them, the one who seemed to be laughing the most was Yui Yokoyama (31), a beautiful woman in a blue one-piece who was the second general manager of “AKB48,” leading the center of the group.
And supporting Yui was Shota Gogami (37) of Junrei, a thin, handsome man wearing a Big Smiley …… T-shirt. The group arrived at the station amused by the combination of a super idol and a super public bathhouse idol.
They were about to go out for a second time, but the group broke up in front of the station, and only Yui Han and Gogami entered the station. They boarded a train that had stopped at the platform and happily chatted with each other. It was a few minutes later that they encountered a shocking scene. They got off the train a few stops away, and on the escalator going up to the ticket gate, Yuhan gently wrapped her arm around Gogami’s left arm and held him close. After stopping at a convenience store, they entered the townhouse.
What does that mean? Did she mean to stay the night? How did they get together in the first place?
Last year, they performed together in Junrei’s second performance as the head of the troupe, the “September Junrei Performance at the Meiji-za Theater. In the two-part performance, Yokoyama played the role of Carol, a young Hollywood actress, and Gogami played Pat, an unsuccessful actor. Through the performance, the two became friends and began dating,” said a mid-level stage actor.
At the press conference announcing the production, he joked that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but it was Gokami who actually took it.

Two days after their encounter at the “hideout dining room,” Yui Han and Gogami reappeared in front of a quizzical FRIDAY. Two days after their encounter at the “hideaway dining room,” Yui Han and Gogami came out of the tower apartment in a New Era T-shirt and Nike training pants, and Gogami in full body Nikes.
They walked to the gym, which was only a few minutes’ walk away, as if they were going for a walk. After sweating it out for an hour or so, they returned to the apartment with refreshed expressions on their faces, but – soon after – they turned on their heels. Apparently, he had left his apartment key at the gym. After a short run into the gym, Yuhan returned with a wry smile on her face. She was greeted kindly by Gogami, who was waiting outside.
After that, FRIDAY saw the two of them many times.
For example, one day when Gogami was out of the country for a concert, Yuhan went to a nearby shopping street with her sandals flapping. Perhaps remembering her beloved cat, Bisu, whom she had owned since moving to Tokyo from Kyoto, she stopped in front of a pet store, then went to a supermarket to buy ingredients for a hot pot and returned home. On another day, we also encountered him going to the post office to drop off the mail. It seems that she takes care of the daily errands, such as grocery shopping.
There was also a romantic night when Gogami, who was supposed to be at a concert in Nagoya until late in the evening, returned to his apartment after 8:00 p.m., as if he wanted to see Yui Han, who was guarding his “love nest,” as soon as possible.
The stoic Yuhaon, who followed the ironclad rule of “no romance,” graduated in 2009 with “no scandal. And then there is Gojo, the only single person in Junrei, who has not had a girlfriend for years because he “wants to cherish his time. In a sense, they are two stubborn and straightforward 30-somethings, and it is possible that they will go on to get married.
We will leave the matter to their own judgment and refrain from giving a response. We would like to ask for the continued support and encouragement of our fans and other concerned parties.
Yui’s office responded.
We have been told by him how they got to know each other, but we are leaving their private matters to him.”
Neither of them denied living together. Looking at their bubbly days together, their “future” looks bright…?
