<h3> Mrs. GREENAPPLE&#8221; Kohto Wakai (29) ❤︎ Kazuka Minashi (26) <br>
Sleepover date with I-cup gradol, March 28 issue</h3>
<p> In March, FRIDAY twice reported on the love affair of Kohto Wakai (Hiroto, 29), guitarist of the popular rock band &#8220;Mrs. GREENAPPLE. The two had been meeting for about six months prior to that, and it was the first glimpse into Wakai&#8217;s private life, which had been shrouded in mystery.</p>

<h3> Kohto Wakai❤︎&#8221;NiziU&#8221; NINA (20) <br>
A surreptitious visit to her boyfriend&#8217;s apartment, delivered on November 4.</h3>
<p> 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 &#8220;NiziU. Since it was not long after the previous report, suspicions of two-timing surfaced. &#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"><span class="strong-in-content"> Wakai&#8217;s office completely denied the allegations, saying, &#8220;I haven&#8217;t seen Miri since March and there is no evidence of a relationship,&#8221; and NINA&#8217;s office explained that they are &#8220;good friends and juniors. NINA&#8217;s office also explained that they were &#8216;good friends, senior and junior&#8217; and that neither of them were dating Wakai.</span></span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"><span class="strong-in-content"> 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 &#8220;Best Artist 2025&#8221; (Nippon Television Network).</span></span></p>
<p> The &#8220;Phase 3&#8221; of the &#8220;Mrs.&#8221; 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.</p>

<p> On July 20, the middle day of a three-day weekend, a beautiful woman resembling Mitsuki Takahata (34) with a long black one-piece dress with a bold opening at the bust, dark hair blowing in the wind, and pure white skin caught people&#8217;s attention in the arrival lobby of Haneda Airport crowded with travelers. Shingo Murakami (43) of &#8220;SUPER EIGHT&#8221; was walking right behind her.</p>
<p> She led the way to a cab stand, and the two went straight back to Murakami&#8217;s ultra-luxury condominium in Tokyo.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"><span class="strong-in-content"> She is an ordinary woman in her twenties. They met through a TV show that Shingo was on and started dating. Shingo is a &#8220;girlfriend first&#8221; kind of guy. He values her wishes in both socializing and work.</span></span></p>
<p> The two traveled to Ishigaki Island in June as well. Three months after the FRIDAY scoop, the public and private partners became life mates.</p>
