<p><strong>The year 2021 was marked by a series of &#8220;self-restraint&#8221; due to the unrelenting fury of the new coronavirus. What brightened up the world was the news of the passionate love lives of gorgeous celebrities. Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the most surprising two-shots!</strong></p>
<h2>Tori Matsuzaka (33) ♡ Erika Toda (33) April 23, 2011</h2>
<figure id="attachment_222223" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 1905px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-222223"><a href="#" data-ident_hash="dde46db0"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/fridaydigital/image/private/t_article_image/wpmedia/2021/12/01_Screenshot_20210314-172856.jpg" alt=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-222223" class="wp-caption-text">Matsuzaka and Toda bought popcorn and drinks and headed for the screen. No one around them seemed to notice.</figcaption></figure>
<p>In December 2008, Tori Matsuzaka (33) and Erika Toda (33) suddenly announced their marriage. The entertainment industry was in an uproar, as they had never even been reported to be dating before.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p>It was at a movie theater on White Day that FRIDAY captured their first two shots since their marriage. They were at a movie theater on White Day to see &#8220;Shin Evangelion: The Movie,&#8221; which had just been released the week before. As an actor and his wife, they wanted to see the hottest new movie together at the theater. Perhaps the reason they chose a cinema complex in Nerima, far from their home, was to be inconspicuous. It was probably a disguise to wear clothes that did not look like they were worn on a warm and sunny spring day.</p>
<p>While Matsuzaka was issuing tickets and buying popcorn and drinks, Toda was always close by, sometimes gently hugging his trusty back. Their wedding rings were shining on their ring fingers.</p>
<p>Later, Toda dropped out of the movie and the drama due to health problems. It is rumored that she will take a break, but we hope that the couple will continue to work together.</p>

<h2>Hitomi Tanaka (25), a hands-on co-worker from Teletetsu, December 17, 2011</h2>
<figure id="attachment_222159" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 1645px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-222159"><a href="#" data-ident_hash="c6c421da"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/fridaydigital/image/private/t_article_image/wpmedia/2021/12/KB6_9297-2.jpg" alt=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-222159" class="wp-caption-text">The two are both outdoorsy types. They developed a relationship while playing together as classmates. They have already met Mr. O&#8217;s parents.</figcaption></figure>
<p>Hitomi Tanaka (25) is in her third year with the company, but is expected to be a bright future for TV Tokyo. She is currently working as the fourth assistant for &#8220;Moya Moya Samaaazu 2&#8221;. When she returned home late at night, she found a handsome man who looked like Shunsuke Kazama waiting for her at her apartment in Tokyo. He is a director of a production company who is highly regarded as one of the best among Tanaka&#8217;s five colleagues. They started living together in July of this year. I hope that they will support each other and do their best, as they are both young people with high expectations for the future.</p>

<h2>Fuji&#8217;s Ako Nagao (28), a handsome woman who looks like Kotaro Koizumi, in the August 20-27 issue.</h2>
<figure id="attachment_222168" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2500px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-222168"><a href="#" data-ident_hash="f22f51fc"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/fridaydigital/image/private/t_article_image/wpmedia/2021/12/02_TK2K6415.jpg" alt=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-222168" class="wp-caption-text">On a day when Anna Nagao is not around, her boyfriend enters and exits the apartment by himself. His familiarity with the place suggests that he has been living with a key for a long time.</figcaption></figure>
<p>Ako Nagao, 28, of Mezamashi TV, who had come out to her boyfriend on the show, was embarrassed when FRIDAY interviewed her, saying, &#8216;I&#8217;m sorry, I talk so much on TV, but I can&#8217;t say anything in these situations. After stopping by a Chinese restaurant or a convenience store, the two of them went home to the same apartment together. Their life as duplicate keys seems to be going well. While they were at the bookstore picking out a reference book, her boyfriend poked and prodded Anna Nagao&#8217;s side, and they seemed to be on good terms with each other.</p>

<h2>Yukina Kinoshita (34) ♡ Shonan Bellmare Hidetoshi Miyuki (28) July 23</h2>
<figure id="attachment_222224" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 2500px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-222224"><a href="#" data-ident_hash="956a9f66"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/fridaydigital/image/private/t_article_image/wpmedia/2021/12/DSC_0429_17045.jpg" alt=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-222224" class="wp-caption-text">Yukina leads her second daughter by the hand to the park with Hidetoshi Miyuki, and after playing soccer for about an hour, they go to an acquaintance&#8217;s house.</figcaption></figure>
<p>Yukina Kinoshita&#8217;s (34) antics over the past few years have made me dizzy. Since the case that threatened the tapioca store manager that ended with the defeat of the Kinoshita side, it divorced Satoshi Fujimoto (51) of &#8220;FUJIWARA&#8221; that had two children. I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;m going to be able to do it.</p>
<p>Although Yukina has been on the run, she has also been nurturing a new love. Her partner is Hidetoshi Miyuki, 28, who plays for Shonan Bellmare, a J1 club. In contrast to Fujimon, who is more than a year older than her, Miyuki, who is six years younger than her, frequently visits Kinoshita after his daily practice, which takes an hour and a half. The two, who live together half the time, were seen holding hands as they went shopping at the supermarket or playing in the park with Kinoshita&#8217;s daughter.</p>
<p>In response to FRIDAY&#8217;s direct interview, Kinoshita admitted to the relationship with a smile, and said that Miyuki was a &#8220;special person&#8221; who supported him and that his daughters adored him. Although she didn&#8217;t say anything about marriage, I&#8217;m sure her fans would welcome the happy antics.</p>
<p>Chiharu Saito, TV Asahi (24) and Hiroki Kobayashi, TBS (28), June 25</p>
<figure id="attachment_222225" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 1672px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-222225"><a href="#" data-ident_hash="98e48a6a"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/fridaydigital/image/private/t_article_image/wpmedia/2021/12/TK2K4820.jpg" alt=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-222225" class="wp-caption-text">The day after their sleepover date at Anna Kobayashi&#8217;s apartment, the two go out together. They looked like a well-matched couple. &#8230;&#8230;</figcaption></figure>
<p>In June, we caught TV Asahi&#8217;s Chiharu Saito (24) and TBS&#8217;s Hiroki Kobayashi (28) on a sleepover date. It seemed like the birth of a fresh couple, but &#8230;&#8230;. The next day, Kobayashi came home with another woman. After that, FRIDAY received as many as 12 requests for information on Kobayashi&#8217;s onnery habits, and it was discovered that she had even given instructions to cover up the &#8220;simultaneous relationship&#8221;. The &#8220;Don Juan of Akasaka&#8221; has remained absent from the public stage. The cost of his flamboyant womanizing has been heavy.</p>
<h2>Kis-My-Ft2 Hiromitsu Kitayama (36) ♡ Rio Uchida (30) Apr. 30</h2>
<figure id="attachment_222226" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 1150px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-222226"><a href="#" data-ident_hash="521f9e85"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/fridaydigital/image/private/t_article_image/wpmedia/2021/12/DSC06259.jpg" alt=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-222226" class="wp-caption-text">Kis-My-Ft2 Hiromitsu Kitayama (36) was reported to be in love with actress Rio Uchida on April 30.</figcaption></figure>
<p>In the evening of mid-April, &#8220;Kiss My&#8221; Hiromitsu Kitayama (36) went to a bar in Sangenjaya with a friend. He had just finished the crank-up of the drama &#8220;Dekkesai Buroba de Waitemasu&#8221; (NTV), in which he plays a leading role, and thought they were going to have a launch party, but the actress Rio Uchida (30), who was reported to be in love with him last August, was waiting for him at the bar. Under the state of emergency declared at the time, she avoided the public eye and spent an exceptional moment with a member she could trust. Kitayama left the restaurant by the hour and left by cab.</p>

<h2>Kis-My-Ft2 Wataru Yokoo (35), handsome and beautiful office worker, July 30-August 6 issue</h2>
<figure id="attachment_222228" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 1452px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-222228"><a href="#" data-ident_hash="04fa20cd"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/fridaydigital/image/private/t_article_image/wpmedia/2021/12/905b5068f077b2028ba6ed24dec6876b.jpg" alt=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-222228" class="wp-caption-text">Kis-My-Ft2 Wataru Yokoo (35) proudly admits to dating a beautiful office worker July 30-August 6 issue</figcaption></figure>
<p>Compared to Kitayama, Wataru Yokoo (35) was more brazen. On the evening of Tanabata, he came home with a beautiful woman who looked like Yua Shinkawa. She was smiling as she walked into the apartment building, and Yokoo, carrying her luggage, was chasing after her, just like a newlywed couple. When I interviewed Yokoo directly, he served tea to the reporter and had the presence of mind to declare his relationship, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m also 35 years old, so I&#8217;m not halfway there. It was an unusual response for a Johnny&#8217;s idol, but the fans were full of support and congratulations.</p>
<h2>Kagaya, Takaya (28), handsome beautiful woman working in apparel, Feb. 19</h2>
<figure id="attachment_222229" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 1864px;" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-222229"><a href="#" data-ident_hash="e2304808"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/fridaydigital/image/private/t_article_image/wpmedia/2021/12/13_NKMR5339.jpg" alt=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-222229" class="wp-caption-text">Two shots of Kagaya Gaya (28) and a beautiful woman who works in apparel Feb. 19 issue</figcaption></figure>
<p>In mid-January, we caught a hands-on shopping date between Kaya Takaya (28) of the comedy group &#8220;Kagaya,&#8221; the best comedian of the 7th generation, and Diko, who works for a famous apparel brand. At the time, his partner, Sho Kaga (28), was on a long medical leave due to health problems, and Kaya was struggling as a pin performer. He was struggling as a pianist. &#8220;I was so stressed thinking about pinning stories that I clenched my teeth so hard, I chipped my tooth once,&#8221; said Gaya. It is no wonder that their &#8220;gentle laughter&#8221; was spurred on after Kaga&#8217;s return.</p>
