Satomi Ishihara and Gou Ayano, Maggie and Inohara… The scene of celebrity “hot hugs
A morning in April this year. A man and a woman embrace on a park bench near Shinagawa Station in Tokyo. Satomi Ishihara (34) and Tsuyoshi Ayano (39) were filming the drama “Love is Deep” (Nippon Television Network Corporation).
As they talked, Ishihara shed tears …… in what looked like a serious scene, but as soon as the cut was made, both of them looked peaceful. But when the camera cuts to a scene where Ishihara is in tears, the scene looks serious.
The hug of the celebrities is a great picture. There are many reasons why people hug each other. There are photo shoots, passionate love between lovers, and confirmation of friendship after a meal. …… I’d like to introduce you to some of the “hot hugging scenes” of celebrities with my treasured photos.
Why are their gestures awkward? ……
The man’s gestures are somewhat awkward and he can’t seem to put any effort into his hands. The woman, on the other hand, is more aggressive. She clings to the man’s back and pulls him close to her.
It was in May 2008 that I saw a scene of V6’s Yoshihiko Inohara (45) and Noriko Nakagoshi (41) embracing. It was on the set of the TV drama “Police Department Investigation Section 9” (TV Asahi), which was airing at the time. Nakagoshi seemed to be absorbed in his acting, but Inoch seemed to be unenthusiastic for some reason. ……
“It’s no wonder. It was only two days before the shooting that Inochi and his wife, Asaka Seto, held their wedding reception. At the reception, Seto sang a ballad she had written herself, and Inochi cried. Even though it was work, he probably didn’t feel comfortable embracing another woman while he was in the full aura of happiness.
Five minutes in a park at midnight
On a night in September of 2007, when the signs of autumn were beginning to appear, a man and a woman were making out in a park in an upscale residential area in Tokyo.
If you strain your eyes, you will see a woman in a white blouse sitting on a bench in the dark with her arms folded, and a man sitting cross-legged on the ground, smoldering purple smoke. The moment the man lit a new cigarette, a half-breed beauty appeared in the darkness. It was the popular model Maggie (29).
They stood up and wrapped their arms around each other and embraced tightly for what seemed like five minutes. After five minutes or so, when they finally pulled apart, they began to talk again. …… It was well after 3 a.m. when they left the park, more than three hours later. I wondered who the man who hugged Maggie was.
“It was Mr. A, who works in the clothing industry in Tokyo. At the time, he was dating Maggie. We were in a park where a lot of people could see us, and we were very dignified.
At the Scramble Crossing in Shibuya
Early in the morning of June 2008, at the scramble intersection in front of Shibuya Station in Tokyo. A beautiful blonde suddenly ran out and hugged actor Shohei Miura (33) with all her might. All passersby stopped to watch the passionate embrace of the beautiful couple.
It seemed to be the scene of a decisive affair by Miura, the husband of actress Mirei Kiritani, but in fact it was the climax scene of the then much talked about drama “M, There’s Someone I Love” (co-produced by TV Asahi and ABEMA). The film is an adaptation of a novel based on the life of singer Ayumi Hamasaki, which became a huge hit with over 160,000 copies sold.
“The main characters, Ayu and Masa, are modeled after Hamasaki and Katsuhito Matsuura, the chairman of Avex, the major record company that nurtured her into a top star. The person in Shibuya hugging Masa, played by Miura, was Karen Anzai (22), a rookie who was chosen to play Ayu.
No matter what they do, celebrities always look good. In July of 2006, a foreigner who had been in a hot embrace with a Japanese woman was arrested and charged with murder.
