Nagase Tomoya finally admits to relationship with Aibu Saki
At the '60th NHK Kouhaku Utagassen' held on the 31st at the NHK Hall in Shibuya, Nagase Tomoya (31) of TOKIO, admitted for the first time to being in a relationship with actress Aibu Saki (24).
After performing 'Taiyou to Sabaku no Bara', when asked by reporters "How is your relationship with Aibu-san?", Nagase replied smiling shyly, "Yes, it's going smoothly". Also when further asked "So will there be any good news?", he said "As for that, no," with a wry smile.
The pair met while filming the 2007 TBS drama 'Utahime'. Although their relationship was first reported about in a tabloid (complete with paparazzi photos of the two on a date together) in January 2008, they have both responded with "no comments" till now. Also, as if inspired by Nagase, fellow TOKIO member Matsuoka Masahiro (32) also announced "I'll try my best in my private life!" However he also went on to say with a grin "Good news? Not that I know of!"
