About eight months later, in early November, FRIDAY again spotted a secret meeting at home with NINA (20), the youngest member of the extremely popular girl group “NiziU. Since it was not long after the previous report, suspicions of two-timing surfaced. ……

Wakai’s office completely denied the allegations, saying, “I haven’t seen Miri since March and there is no evidence of a relationship,” and NINA’s office explained that they are “good friends and juniors. NINA’s office also explained that they were ‘good friends, senior and junior’ and that neither of them were dating Wakai.

Miri appeared in gravure in several magazines in the wake of this report, but NINA tearfully apologized to her fans at a live concert immediately afterwards. For a while there were whispers that they might not perform together on music programs, but in late November they appeared together on “Best Artist 2025” (Nippon Television Network).

The “Phase 3” of the “Mrs.” project will begin in January 2014. In Phase 2, they caused a stir with their passionate love affair, but next time, we hope they will surprise the world with their music.

Shingo Murakami (43) of “SUPER EIGHT” was walking right behind her.

She led the way to a cab stand, and the two went straight back to Murakami’s ultra-luxury condominium in Tokyo.

She is an ordinary woman in her twenties. They met through a TV show that Shingo was on and started dating. Shingo is a “girlfriend first” kind of guy. He values her wishes in both socializing and work.

The two traveled to Ishigaki Island in June as well. Three months after the FRIDAY scoop, the public and private partners became life mates.
