[News] Goro's first comment ever about Miho in public ever since 2000
The first time Goro openly comments about Kanno Miho in public... that I ever heard of since 2000.
Inagaki Goro denied "Reconciliation Report" with Kanno Miho
January, 26th. 2.18 PM. ORICON
In the middle of this month, Inagaki Goro of SMAP has been reported getting back together with actress, Kanno Miho in a certain tabloid. He was interviewed after the ZOU stageplay press conference regarding this matter and he answered, "Betsu ni sou iu koto wa nai.(That's not true.) No love reconciliation? Sou desu ne." he denied the rumor. After press conference, once he was leaving the backstage room, questions about the rumor from the press rushed in and Inagaki replied them calmly while smiling, "Houdou ni bikkurishimashita ga, (Kanno to wa) hontou ni ii otomodachi desu.(I was surprised with the rumor, but (with Kanno) we're really good friends.)"
When he was asked about whether or not he had been going for meals with Kanno Miho recently, "Ima wa betsu ni itteinai. Tama ni au? Sore ima wa nai desu ne."(I don't go [for meals with her] anymore now. Sometimes meet? Not anymore too, now)

He never gave any comment, not even a word about his relationship with Kanno Miho before since 2000. It was always Miho who gave a nod with smile, or one word comment.
And so a part of me, always doubt if there's any truth at all about their relationship, esp. because I never seen any paparazzi photo of Goro-Miho before.
This somehow confirms that at least, Goro-Miho HAD a relationship and that now they are really good friends *v* So I can still hope right??
I'm sad about this, but I'd like to interpret this that they're having a "more than friends, less than lovers" relationship right now^^ Goro's statement "(Kanno to wa) hontou ni ii tomodachi desu" make it sounds like its not totally over XD Or maybe that's just what I hope for, lol.
They were so close to marriage... =(
But if they're really over, then lift up the forbidden sign and start invite Miho in SMAP shows again, TV stations!!! Ii kagen ni shite kudasai! Just invite Miho to SMAPxSMAP already!!! XD Just for a skit without Goro is fine too!!
They let Nakano Minako (Nakai's ex) interviewed Nakai sometime ago, and so now is Miho's turn!!
EDIT:
This is the presscon clip, thanks alot alot to Dashling!!!^o^

Reporter: There's a rumor that says you're back together with Kanno Miho-san.
Goro: Seem like it has been rumored, ne. I was surprised myself. But well... there is no... such... thing. Hai...
Reporter: So it was not a reconciliation?
Goro: Sou desu ne. Maa, ano... hontou ni ii tomodachi dewa arimasu keredo mo.... (But, well... she is really a good friend...)
Reporter: So you are free now?
Goro: Me?
Reporter: Yes.
Goro: Free desu ne... (laughs)
Goro: I hope there's a good news/topic I can tell to mina-san next time...
Goro: Sorry for making a fuss... yoroshiku onegaishimasu *bows*
~*~
Maybe I'm just trying to find something wrong or I am in denial or something here. You can say whatever you want.
But...
First, when Goro said "sore wa nai to iu koto desu ne"(there's no such thing)... there were pauses like he hesitated. What's up with that?
Second, when the reporter was trying to confirm "So it was not a reconciliation?", Goro could've simply said "sou desu ne", but why must he added "but we're friends". Like he didn't want to end it just with "sou desu ne"?
Third, "mata ii hanashi wo minasan no mae de dekireba ii na to omottemasunde..." (I hope there's a good news/topic I can tell to mina-san next time..).... wow, I don't know what to think of this. If this means "I hope I can give news when I have a new girlfriend next time"... it sounds so weird, lol! Esp. he is not allowed to talk about having a girlfriend in the first place, because he's a Johnnys! XD I can only think of one thing!
Last but not least, usually they'd just answer shortly about these things right? Or answered in a hurry and just leave. But this time, Goro seem seriously answering the reporter's questions and he was not in a hurry, he really stayed there for a while, PLUS not only he was answering the reporters' questions but he initiated to make some statements himself like the "tomodachi" and "mata ii hanashi" parts, deshou? Mezurashiii~~
But above all, I'm just very happy with Goro's statement about Miho "hontou ni ii tomodachi". That's really enough for me T_T Kimura has never stated something like that abt Kudo. Nakai has never stated something like that abt Koda. So I guess this is as far as it can get, lol.

Addition in today's article.

As Goro kept saying "now", the reporter asked, "Now? So you had been seeing her before (after the breakup)?". With bitter laugh, Goro answered, "That would be a slight different meaning, so it's hard for me to say,".
According to the article, based on everything he said on this day, seem like he had seen her again after the breakup, and they both still hasn't meet other people until now.

Inagaki Goro (36) of SMAP denied reconciliation rumor with his ex-girlfriend, actress Kanno Miho (32) in the press conference of the stageplay "ZOU". The two were together for about 8 years and it was found out the relationship ended in December 2008. During the dating period included, this is basically the first time ever he talked about his relationship with Kanno. "It's not a reconciliation?", "Sou desu ne, I'm [i]free[/i]..." he declared that he has no girlfriend now.
This is the first time Inagaki talked openly about his ex-girlfriend that he even once rumored to get married with. After the press conference, the press were surrounding Inagaki, asking about the truth to the rumor with Kanno. Staffs has guarded him and were about to lead him to the exit gate, but Inagaki stopped and respond to the questions manly.
Inagaki and Kanno started dating after they starred a drama together, after 8 years relationship, it was found in December 2008, they have broken up. Last week, there were rumors that they have gotten back together but on this day, Inagaki said, "I'm very sorry for making a fuss. There's no such thing," he firmly denied.
"Are you meeting her? Having meals together with her recently?", "Sore mo ima wa betsu ni nai desu ne.(we don't go anymore now) Ii tomodachi dewa arimasu kedo. (But, she's a good friend)" he didn't hide and admitted his relationship with his ex-girlfriend.
"You said NOW, so you mean you were meeting her before just recently?", "That's a slightly different meaning, it's hard for me to say," he bitterly smiled.
"I'm free (now)," which means he is declaring he is looking for a new partner.
"I hope I can tell a good news in front of everyone next time..." it's as if he declared a hope for giving marriage news (searching for a marriage partner). From the beginning to the end he looked calm.
