No. 3 Maki Nishiyama and martial artist Koji: Intimate relationship and passionate street kissing after dinner with their children

One night in September, as autumn rain drizzled down.

A group of five adults and two children were enjoying themselves at a popular monja-yaki restaurant in Tokyo. The restaurant’s windows were so large that they were in full view from outside. Passersby stopped to look and saw a slender, beautiful woman. It was Maki Nishiyama, 36, a former “CanCam” model.

After having affairs with former “KAT-TUN” member Jin Akanishi (38) and others, Nishiyama married Taichi Saotome (30), a star of popular theater, in 2001, and they had two daughters, but things did not go well as reported in a huge street brawl. They divorced in 1919.

Recently, however, she seems to have put an end to that life, and actively discloses on social networking sites the happy life she is leading with her daughters, now in elementary school and kindergarten, and her favorite car, a Cherokee. She has established herself as a “cool mamatare,” and her media exposure is increasing.

Shortly after 1:00 am, a little kid came running out of the store. It appears to be Nishiyama’s eldest daughter. A macho man appears next. The third one is Nishiyama, who is very unsteady on his feet. He staggered up to the macho man, and their lips met.

A few moments later, as his drinking companions came out of the bar, Nishiyama quickly stepped backwards to get away from them.

At that moment, the macho man’s face was illuminated by the streetlight. In the darkness, the face of Koji (33), a fantasista in the fighting world, appeared.

This magazine has reported on Koji’s cohabitation with the beautiful professional golfer Rikako Morita (32) and his secret hotel meetings with Ai Aoki (37), a former representative of Japan’s artistic swimming team. Is the self-proclaimed “I’m so popular, I can’t get enough of it” man expanding his field of activity into the entertainment world?

Nishiyama is known as a martial arts enthusiast, having appeared as a play-by-play navigator in the 2010 K-1 tournament, and he has also challenged boxing on his YouTube channel. His daughter is also fond of Koji, and in August they went on a trip to Wakayama and stayed at a luxury hotel. In August, they went on a trip to Wakayama and stayed at a luxury hotel, where they saw pandas at “Adventure World.

If he has a celebrity as a chauffeur, his popularity will be enhanced. When this magazine went to visit Koji to congratulate him, however, it was met with an unexpected sight. The day before their street kiss in front of a monja-yaki restaurant, Koji had kissed another beautiful woman. Moreover, at a gas station …….

We directly interviewed Koji.

–You are dating Mr. Nishiyama, aren’t you?

Friday?　What’s up again?”

–I heard you took a trip to Wakayama.

“With Maki’s kids and all my friends. We went to see pandas with a lot of people. I met Maki last year through a friend of mine, and we’ve been friends as a family ever since. She even came to the “RIZIN” match with her mother and son to cheer me on. I have a lot of respect for him as a person.

–On the day of the monja-yaki, did you and Nishiyama kiss?

Aah?　That day we got together with the members from the Wakayama trip and had a lot of fun. Maki was also a bit tipsy, so I guess I gave her a kiss as if I was saying “thanks for today” to her like an American greeting (laughs).

–(Laughs) – Nishiyama-san’s child seems to have taken to him quite well.

He’s a very nice boy, very cute. I’m the Don Juan of the martial arts world, …… but I think it’s time to stop acting like one.

–He was kissing another beautiful woman.

I’m a ‘Don Juan of the martial arts. But I’ll tell you this. I will always make the women I decide to do this with happy!　I’ll announce it soon. I’ll report it to Friday first. I’m sorry I’ve been living my life on instinct!　I mean, I know you like women, so just leave me alone (laughs).

When asked who was his true love, he replied, “I’m popular!　I’m so popular!” He left with a high laugh. At any rate, we look forward to the announcement in the near future.

No.2 First Discovery of a Hottie! Popular actress Sairi Ito secretly fosters “love with an age difference

It was an early April evening in the downtown area of Shibuya Ward, crowded with businessmen after work. Walking along in a navy cap and a loose-fitting shirt was Sairi Ito, 27, a popular actress who became the talk of the town after her appearance in “Mystery and Not to Mention It” (Fuji TV), a Monday 9 series in the February season.

Ito is a next-generation chameleon actress who is active in a variety of fields, including drama, narrator, and variety. He became a star with his role in the drama “Zenkaku Overseer” (Netflix). Although he often appears in supporting roles, his presence is more than that of a leading actor due to his high level of acting ability. In recent years, he has appeared in an increasing number of variety shows after his older brother Shunsuke Ito (32) made it to the finals of the M-1 Grand Prix three years in a row.

Next to Ito, who is extremely busy, was a dandy with gray hair, and the two men chatted amiably. Who is this man?

He is a scriptwriter, Mr. Horai Ryuta (46), and although there is a 20-year age difference between them, they are actually dating. They came close to each other suddenly in June 2009 when Ito was the heroine in the play “The Decapitated Prince and the Foolish Woman,” which Horai wrote the story for and directed. Last summer after the play, Mr. Horai made a strong approach to her and they started dating. They have the official approval of acquaintances and others involved, such as inviting Ms. Ito as his girlfriend to a drinking party organized by Mr. Horai,” said an acquaintance of Ito.

The group entered a reasonably priced sushi restaurant, enjoyed their meal for about two hours, and left.

When we interviewed the couple on their way home, they told us that they were going home to …….

–Sorry, this is Friday. This is Friday.

Ito: “Er, seriously, seriously. So this is what it’s like (laughter). I’m so surprised!”

Ito was surprised by the direct interview, but answered our questions for about 10 minutes.

–Are the two of you dating?

Ito: “Well (explosive laugh), I wonder what I should do about that kind of thing. (Looking at Hourai’s face) I don’t know.

The magazine also witnessed the two returning to the same apartment.

No.1 We met on NHK… Issei Takahashi ♡ Marie Iide, a couple with a 17-year age difference was born!

Among the many works in which Issei Takahashi (41) has appeared, the special drama “Kishibe Rohan wa Mukonenai” (NHK) broadcast at the end of 2008 and 2009 is particularly unique. A spin-off of the popular comic “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure,” the main character, Rohan Kishibe, played by Takahashi, is a psychic manga artist with an eccentric personality and eccentric hair style.

It has been said that it would be difficult to make a live-action adaptation, but Takahashi was able to get into it. Marie Iide (24) showed her presence in the role of the capricious female editor who is pushed around by this “Takahashi Rohan. The interaction between the two was one of the main reasons why the film attracted so much attention.

During the filming of the second drama last fall, Mariie was feeling down due to a stomachache, and for some reason, Issei asked her, “Would you like to dance with me? She was so happy, she said, ‘Yes! She happily replied, ‘Yes! and the two of them danced to the tune of “Oklahoma Mixer. The staff was taken aback by her outlandish behavior, just like Rohan (laughs). Later, when the drama was cranked up, Marie moved into Issei’s apartment,” said a source involved in the program.

The two, who are 17 years apart in age, have become partners in their private lives as well. In the film, they were portrayed as characters with opposite personalities, but in reality, Takahashi and Iide are said to be on the same wavelength in many ways.

Both Takahashi and Iide are good cooks. Both of them don’t eat out very often and often go home after work to cook for themselves. I also heard that both are indoor people and like to spend time at home.

As for social networking, Takahashi-san is not interested in it, and Iide-san does not post anything other than advertising her work. She often plays the role of a young girl of today, but I think she really has a calm personality and is comfortable as a dating partner. It seems that they are now spending time at Ms. Takahashi’s house while renting separate rooms in the same apartment” (Iide’s acquaintance).

(An acquaintance of Iide’s) Currently, the two are working at different sites, but when filming is finished, they return to the same tower condominium. The two hit it off in the process of creating popular films. They will probably continue to work hard together as lovers and actors.
