Katori Shingo and Takeuchi Yuko.
note: hitomishiri = shy, not good in interacting with people he just get to know.
The "Hitomishiri" Katori Shingo is Drawn (Attracted) to Takeuchi Yuko?

SMAP's Katori Shingo and Takeuchi Yuko, the pair of leads of the primetime slot drama "Bara no nai Hanaya", their intimacy in the filming location has become a topic.
An insider from the Bara no nai Hanaya filming set (a staff) gave a testimony, "Katori-san and Takeuchi-san gets along very well on the set. From what I've heard from other people who has worked with him and know him better, Katori-san is too much of the "hitomishiri" type. Most of the time, he just locks himself inside his own changing room during filming breaks. However, this time, on the set, we can often see him talking with Takeuchi-san. Moreover, it is Katori-san who gets quite active starting the topic of chats with her,".
Adding his comment on the TV interview with her, "It feels like it's not the first time...", it seems Katori has gotten attracted to Takeuchi.
Takeuchi has been known well as the "Co-star Killer". She is currently in a divorce process with Nakamura Shido II, though it doesn't seem it'll come to an end soon. At the present, Katori Shingo might still be together with his longtime girlfriend. But there's a possibility, that he has been drawn to Takeuchi Yuko's charm attraction.
In an interview, Takeuchi said, "There's no rose on the filming set, but it has lots of love," this comment sounded like it has a deeper meaning now.
In the same interview Katori said, "This drama is packed with many kinds of love, and I hope everyone can feel that, watching this drama,".
By acting together in this drama, there might be a chance of new love to bloom between this two. Seem like, from now on, everyone will start to pay attention closely to their acting in the drama "Bara no nai Hanaya", as well as their private lives.

Not believing the "new love starts to bloom" part. But the "hitomishiri" part interest me. I know that Shingo is the "hitomishiri" type, that has been quite a topic during the Shinsengumi filming. Mitani Koki and Yamamoto Koji revealed the fact, that it was not until the SIXTH month, that Shingo finally willing to eat lunch together with the other casts. Before that, Shingo just eat lunch all by himself, reluctant to join the others xD
So if it's really true, that during "Bara" filming breaks, he doesn't lock himself inside the room, and talks to Takeuchi Yuko actively, instead. Then, I'm believing part of it xD I do notice some changes in Shingo in the Bara promos and interviews... he seem to be more agressive, indeed. You should see how QUIET he was around the Shinsengumi casts 4 years ago. And he's always like that, when he's around the drama casts, people he doesn't know well.
He's only a clown when he's together with SMAP... but outside SMAP, he's a quiet person. So I'm quite surprised, he's acting funny on the Bara set, and he even yelled out, "Ukiii~~" like Son Gokuu after the fighting scene in Episode 3, and made the casts and staffs laugh :hehe: And how he pretend to sing the themesong, and acting like he's filming his own PV of the themesong, acting cool and all, in front of the staff and Takeuchi Yuko, during the snowy mountain filming. I just realized, I never see this kind of silly act of Shingo in the Saiyuuki making O_o
