It seems that the girl from our May rumor post is actually half-Japanese model Kagami Seira. The two were seen together on Yurakuchou Gadoshita, which is a popular destination for salarymen as it is home to many traditional Japanese bars. It's not a romantic place to have a date, but it is a good place to take a date if you want to try to avoid being seen. Unfortunately for this couple, it seems that they were spotted nonetheless.
Kagami Seira (22) is half-Japanese, half-Canadian, and attended the University of Toronto. She works as a model and has also released a single, "Kaleidoscope." She had a live singing performance in July, which Yamashita is rumored to have attended. Sources say that they are happy and comfortable together, and Kagami often talks with her staff about her good relationship.
The staff here at SN likes Seira, but has heard from insiders that she views her relationship more as a way to boost her popularity than as a love match. For this reason, we hope this relationship is short-lived!

Taguchi Junnosuke & Komine Rena return from Hawaii
As reported last week, Taguchi and Komine visited Hawaii together. Although they flew there together, they took different flights home - Taguchi flew into Tokyo, and Komine flew into Osaka. Despite this, they caught the attention of the media. Neither gave any official comment.
Reporters waiting at the airport asked Taguchi whether this was a pre-marriage trip, which seems to be everyone's concern at this point. He gave no answer and seemed uncomfortable with the questioning. Komine is reported to have said, "I don't care about my career, but leave his career alone." Although Taguchi is young, since they have been dating for some time, it's not ridiculous to think that they may be considering marriage - but both agencies would have to acknowledge the relationship first!
SN still thinks this is a nice couple, although Komine might be a bit too old for Junno.

Taguchi Junnosuke visits Hawaii with Komine Rena
Today, Taguchi Junnosuke and Komine Rena were seen boarding a flight bound to Hawaii together. According to a witness, they were relaxed and happy to be together.
Taguchi and Komine have been rumored to be dating since 2008, although both agencies have repeatedly denied this. The first real sighting of the couple was reported last August, when sources spotted Taguchi entering a yakiniku restaurant in a low-slung baseball cap, walking quickly to try to avoid detection. Komine had entered the same restaurant, undisguised, just moments before. They had dinner together with three friends. After this incident, it was rumored that the pair separated, but they have since reconnected. In October 2008, photos of them shopping on a date were published.
SN wonders if this is a pre-marriage trip and wishes the couple well!
