Tegoshi Yuya's girlfriend attends movie premiere

It seems that Tegoshi and the blonde girl previously linked to him have become an item. A pretty blonde was seen at the Los Angeles/Culver City premiere of Tegoshi's movie Dare Ga Watashi Ni Kiss Wo Shita. She attempted to remain inconspicuous by wearing sunglasses and a subtle hairstyle, and was seated separately. However, she was overheard happily discussing the movie with the staff in a VIP area, calling Tegoshi by his given name. A member of the Japanese staff also stated that Tegoshi spoke warmly about his American girlfriend during recent promotional activities, and called her often. When confronted outside the theater, she made no comment and drove away in a waiting airport limousine.

Little is known about the identity of the blonde, but sources say she is a university student with no connections to the entertainment industry.

SN is curious to know more about who she is and how she managed to snag a Johnny!

Ueda Tatsuya dating himself

Unable to find a human being capable of meeting his lofty standards, KAT-TUN member Ueda Tatsuya has decided to take matters into his own hands - literally. Ueda has completely sworn off women (and men) in favor of advocating self-esteem, self-respect, and ultimately, self-love. He has been seen escorting himself to various fine restaurants in the Tokyo area and recently gave himself a beautiful necklace for Valentine's Day. This summer, he is supposedly planning a tropical getaway with himself to Okinawa.

SN wishes you a happy April Fool's Day.

Akanishi Jin seen partying with model Christina

Akanishi Jin has recently been seen out drinking at nightclubs. While this in itself is definitely nothing new or shocking, lately he has been seen spending a lot of time partying with a foreign model called Christina. The two appeared as a "couple" on an episode of KAT-TUN's television show, and while that was nothing serious, sources say that the two get along well and have been seeing each other frequently. There aren't any reports to say that they have become an official couple, however.

SN thinks it's just a matter of time!

Yamada Ryosuke spotted at karaoke with date

Last week, Yamada Ryosuke was seen at a popular karaoke club with a pretty female companion. The couple arrived at around 5:30 PM and departed around 8:00 PM. They seemed to be having a good time together, singing and joking around. Both were wearing school uniforms, so it's very likely that the girl is his classmate. Sources say that she had a small face and looked as though she was very happy to be with Yamada.

The staff here at SN thinks this is very cute.

Yamashita Tomohisa visits Kitagawa Keiko's hometown

Yamashita Tomohisa was recently seen visiting Kobe, the hometown of his previously mentioned supposed girlfriend, Kitagawa Keiko. The two have had a long history together and have been rumored to be dating on and off for years. Sources say that they were out shopping and eating together, and it's thought that Yamashita visited Kitagawa's relatives for the holidays as well. They were undisguised, but they did nothing to attract attention to themselves.

In the past, Kitagawa has been linked to other Johnnys and friends of Yamashita's, including Shirota Yuu, Tanaka Koki, and Masuda Takahisa.

The staff at SN just wishes Keiko had a different family name.

Yamashita Tomohisa & Kitagawa Keiko dating again

Former couple Yamashita Tomohisa and Kitagawa Keiko have been seen together again. They were spotted leaving Kitagawa's apartment and heading to a restaurant. They seemed very happy and acted like any other couple on a date would act. Sources say that after spending some time having dinner together, the two swapped jackets and departed still wearing the switched clothing. Naturally, both agencies are denying all rumors that the two are together.

Sources believe that their on-screen romance on the set of Buzzer Beat led to the rekindling of an off-screen romance as well.

SN is quite happy about this, and really likes them as a couple!

Tanaka Koki visits Hawaii with Takamatsu Erina

A gossip magazine has reported that Tanaka Koki and gravure idol Takamatsu Erina visited Hawaii together. They were seen having fun and flirting together on Waikiki Beach. One of their friends states that Tanaka approached Takamatsu soon after meeting her, and they have been dating ever since. This friend also states that he likes her very much, can't stand to be away from her, and meets her often after work.

Tanaka's management responded to questions by saying that the two were attending the wedding of a mutual friend.

SN thinks Tanaka needs new friends.

Yamashita Tomohisa & Kagami Seira caught on date

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!

Tegoshi Yuya spotted with foreigner at nightclub

Tegoshi Yuya has been spotted with a blonde foreign girl at a Tokyo night club. Although they didn't enter the club together, a witness states that they met at the club, possibly through a mutual friend. They laughed and talked together while drinking expensive champagne, and Tegoshi escorted the girl from the club at around midnight. The identity of the girl is unknown at this time.

SN wonders if she knew who Tegoshi was!

Tegoshi Yuya seen with cabaret girls in Okinawa

Tegoshi Yuya was seen enjoying a trip to Okinawa yesterday. According to sources, he was playing on the beach with three other people (one male, two female) but it is unclear whether or not he actually traveled there with them. The girls were described as the "cabaret" type, which likely means he is not dating either of them, but is not opposed to having "fun" with them either.

The staff at SN hopes he did not catch anything.

Tegoshi Yuya & Masuda Takahisa spotted with hostess

Tegoshi Yuya and Masuda Takahisa, both of NEWS, were seen yesterday with a popular hostess outside a restaurant in Ginza. Tegoshi seemed to be enjoying himself and making lively conversation with the girl. Masuda seemed more interested in the people inside the restaurant. The three left together in the early evening. It's unclear as to whether one (or both) of them actually knew the hostess, possibly as a classmate of Tegoshi's or a former classmate of Masuda's, or if they just picked her up for some kind of "activity."

SN wonders why they couldn't just pay for two hostesses.

Kato Shigeaki spotted at hostess club

Kato Shigeaki was seen partying at two hostess clubs in Roppongi a few nights ago. Sources say that he was out with friends, trying to impress them - and any girls he might meet along the way. He was clearly having a good time, singing and laughing with his friends, and they were receiving lots of attention from the hostesses. Other customers at the clubs were actually left alone in favor of Kato's party!

For unknown reasons, they visited not one, but two clubs, and had deluxe private rooms with expensive champagne in both. In the early morning hours, Kato and his friends left the last club unaccompanied.

SN thinks Shige was trying too hard.

Yamashita Tomohisa rumored to have new love interest

SN has received a report that Yamashita Tomohisa is currently seeing a foreign girl. They met through mutual friends and were attracted to one another instantly. The two began dating soon after. More information on this to follow, as soon as we receive it!
