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!
