[RUMOR] Tegoshi Yuya is the Reason for Masuwaka’s Divorce?
Last Jan 14th, gyaru star Masuwaka Tsubasa announced on her blog that she and her husband for 4 years, Umeda Naoki, are divorcing. The mother of one did not specify the reason for their divorce though it seem like a mutual decision.
However, there have been circulating rumors that Masuwaka is allegedly having an affair with Tegoshi Yuya of NEWS, which is one of the reasons for the divorce.
“It is with T, who plays an active part in N
from a four-person group. The two are intimate-friends who are often
seen hanging-out from Ropponggi to Shibuya. This tidbit is supplied by a
friend of Umeda; however, the truth seems unlikely to be revealed ever,
” according to an entertainment weekly reporter.
Tegoshi and Masuwaka dating rumors started circulating via twitter
last 2011. The two were reportedly seen together during a summer
festival but there are no pictures to prove this claim. In addition,
Masukawa’s rumored dating relationship with Tegoshi is also an affair since the gyaru star is also rumored to be involved with a company’s president, who also happens to be married.
This is not the 1st time that Tegoshi got rumored in a couple’s divorce. When MLB star Darvish Yu and model/actress Saeko parted ways earlier last year, he was also rumored to be one of the reasons for divorce.

Higashiyama Noriyuki Recommends Taguchi Junnosuke To Be KAT-TUN’s Leader
Last Jan 18th, Shonentai’s Higashiyama Noriyuki and KAT-TUN’s Junnosuke Taguchi had their opening night for the stage play, “NO WORDS, NO TIME ~Sora ni ochita namida~” at Globe Theater in Tokyo. A press conference followed afterwards.
The stage play is unique since it was done without dialogue but by
merely focusing on dance movements, music, and drama. The audience was
drawn to contemporary dances on a stage set in scenes like house,
station, and company. Higashiyama and Junnosuke fused the elements of
ballet and pantomime together with sound and lighting effects on a stage
devoid on decorations. (as covered by Ryo Hasegawa)
“It was always been a dream to do it with Higashiyama-san,” Junno
commented. “He has generosity and courage and those are necessary to
become a leader of KAT-TUN,” Higashiyama commented and added, “he does
his best to such an extent that he won’t lose.” Junno smiled shyly after
Higashiyama’s praised and added that he’ll probably “messed-around” if
he is the leader.
Aside from admiring each of their qualities, Higashiyama also
admitted in being in love with Junno’s gag especially Junno’s most
popular gag- “Iriguchi (entrance), Deguchi (exit), Taguchi (his
name)”. In addition, the two made a gag called “Pyu-pon”, but
Higashiyama refused to show it to the press saying that gag was
“sealed”. On the other hand, Junno decided to do joked around while
praising his senpai, “It was always been my dream so I was so nervous
last night that I could not sleep a wink …uso, uso kawauso.” Higashiyama was laughing one after another gag.
“NO WORDS, NO TIME ~Sora ni ochita namida~” will run until Feb 5th at Globe Theater in Tokyo and from Feb 8th to 12th at Morinimiya Piloti Hall in Osaka.

the bottom of my heart.”
