January 6 and 13, 2023 issue

It seems that idols, like Katsutoshi Sato of Sexy Zone, have a connection with older women.

It was exactly a year ago that FRIDAY reported on the passionate romantic relationship between Yuma Nakayama (29) and a woman five years his senior.

At the time, Nakayama remained silent in response to FRIDAY’s direct questioning, but later in a radio program in which he is a personality, he admitted most of the contents of the article, saying that It’s generally true.

 

“He has been in a relationship with her for nine years, but it seems that they have been going out and breaking up repeatedly. Therefore, it is not impossible for them to start dating again and reach the goal.” said an executive from the entertainment agency.

Nakayama will turn 30 on January 13, 2024. Will it be a good year for him both publicly and privately?

Kanjani Eight Ryuhei Maruyama’s Sleepover Date with his 19 Years Younger Girlfriend 

September 15 and 22, 2023 issue

Ryuhei Maruyama of Kanjani Eight, has been scandal-free for the past 20 years since his debut. Known for his love for his fans, he once said, “My wife is a fan,” but behind the scenes he has been in love with a woman other than his “wife.

One afternoon in August 2023, Maruyama was at the entrance of his elegant apartment in Tokyo on his way to work. Next to him was Ms. A, a beautiful woman resembling Kanna Hashimoto, wearing a mint green one-piece dress. Ms. A, 19 years younger than Maruyama, used to work part-time at a restaurant in Tokyo but now works at a dental clinic in Chiba Prefecture.

They met at a members-only bar in Roppongi. Maruyama was a regular customer here, and around the spring of 2023, he met Ms. A, who was taken to this bar by an acquaintance, and they developed a relationship. Maruyama is in a serious relationship and has introduced her to his friend Ryusei Yokohama (27) and others. Not only did they have a sleepover date at his house, but they also enjoyed a Tanabata date at Disneyland in July, said a source from an entertainment agency.

Maruyama has stated publicly that he has given up on marriage as long as he is doing this job. Now that Johnny’s is changing to a new company and the form of management is changing, will Maruyama’s “I’m giving up on marriage” attitude change?
