Hamasaki Ayumi 'Dumped'?; Tamayama Tetsuji Only Admits to [Dating] Kuriyama Chiaki
The new wave of Japanese celebrities have become more and more gracious about letting the public in on their love lives. The latest to reveal his relationship is actor Tamayama Tetsuji. Earlier rumoured to be involved in a triangle relationship with Hamasaki Ayumi, Tamayama has stepped out to clarify that he is actually seeing Kuriyama Chiaki.
At first it seemed like Tamayama was divided between the two ladies, as he was often rumoured with good friend Hamasaki but was photographed on a date with Kuriyama. However, this week's Flash magazine revealed another date between Tamayama and Kuriyama. Flash reported that the pair visited a friend's house and then ate dinner together at a udon shop. They were drinking until one in the morning when they left holding hands and looking very affectionate. Apparently their relationship began in the spring of this year.
When Flash approached Tamayama's management company to clarify his rumours, they were quick to dismiss the rumours between him and Hamasaki, saying "We were a bit perplexed by the rumours because there wasn't an ounce of truth in them." When asked about his relationship with Kuriyama, they gave a straightforward answer, saying: "As for his relationship with Kuriyama, we hope that everyone will be able to support them in the long run."
In other couple news, Okada Junichi and Yu Aoi are reported to be practically living together. The latest Shuukan Josei revealed that Okada forked out 50 million yen to renovate his luxury condo, which he bought five years ago for 200 million yen. One of the workers revealed that the inside of the home is well suited for two people. "Everything inside seemed very detailed, from the kitchen to all the interior decoration. Okada seems to respect Yu's decisions." The house seems to give off a newlywed flavour.
