3 Reasons Why It's Impossible for Nakai Masahiro and Koda Kumi To Get Married

translated by Yanie

SMAP's Nakai Masahiro and Koda Kumi's love-love shot together which was published in a weekly magazine, caused a stir. There were also rumours that they are semi-living together, so it won't be weird if they'll get married soon. Actually, there are 3 reasons why it's impossible for these two to get married.

First, the wall of the agency. "Nakai Masahiro is from the Johnny's Agency. Not to mention, the #1 group, SMAP. Even though there was KimuTaku and Kudo Shizuka's marriage that caused a commotion in the past, Nakai will have the same trouble too now. Koda Kumi is also the #1 artist in Avex now, replacing Hamasaki Ayumi, the agency wouldn't want to see her settling in this peak popularity. If she get married to Nakai, it'll trouble the agency.

Second, the wall of the family. Answering a sports paper's question, Nakai Masahiro's father said, "Why do you must make a fuss over it? It's not weird even if he has some girlfriends,", seem like he hasn't acknowledge his son's relationship with Koda. And Koda herself, who is still under her parents' supervision might not allow her to get married in this age.

The third reason, the wall of their own problems. Some sources revealed that Nakai and the FujiTV announcer, Nakano Minako, are not completely over. There was also the existence of the "Aomori girl", his parents introduced to him in the past. Koda herself, said to still have lingering feels for her ex-boyfriend she broke up with, in last year's spring. It's obvious that these two are not people who seem ready to settle themselves.

Nakai Masahiro and Koda Kumi are Not Romantically Involved, Afterall!?

translated by Yanie
[note: read this one carefully. interesting~]

By the end of last year, Nakai Masahiro and Koda Kumi's scoop shot in front of Nakai's mansion was published. But a testimony that this is just an object of diguise has appeared. All of the theories are suspicious. A major ad agency staff leaked it out, "It was a common opinion in the industry, that it was just to promote Kouhaku. With the person themselves and the agency didn't clearly admit or deny the rumours, it naturally attracted viewers."

A valuable testimony from Koda's hometown(Kyoto) friend who knows the truth was revealed, "It's weird if the two are really dating. In the end of last year, when the scoop news was out, I immediately called her, and she confirmed to me, "Nah, we're not dating. We were told to act like we're dating in Kouhaku,". I asked her, "But didn't you stay over at his place?". She said, "There were just many things/problems,", it seem like she didn't really want to talk about it,".

"Apparently, there was the time when they clicked with each other, last year. She was, afterall, Nakai-kun's fan, and she thought she'd like to try to date him. But seem like that romantic feelings didn't last long, and soon ended in a moment. I don't think they were really dating. Although, they were pretending to say stuff like they went to a friend's restaurant together, or had a drinking session together. But they actually went together with their managers or friends too. Last year's September around the time when Nakai-kun was hospitalized due to appendix, she said to me they went for a drive together, but she also said, "We didn't talk much". Responding to everyone's comments that they are in a love-love relationship although they are both busy, she clearly said to me, "No way... we're not even dating at all,". She's a very open person, so I don't think she lied,".

Actually, there were theories that it was to raise Kouhaku's rating, but this friend's testimony seem more authentic. But does this mean... there were times when they WERE dating?

Koda Kumi, Always Alone in The Convinience Store, and Nakai is Nowhere Near...

translated by Yanie

There's this "M" nabe restaurant in Shibuya, Tokyo, where celebrities usually goes to, also some comedians tend to do "goukon" here. According to the waiter regarding Koda Kumi's visits, "Boyfriend? Not even once. A while ago, she was here with her family. Her sister, misono was here too. But Koda-san looked upset and shouted, "Hurry, bring the beer!"."

"Seem like Koda-san frequently come. There was a time when she came here everyday," a convinience store clerk near her house, said.

"Oden with her boyfriend? No, it was always in the midnight, she came alone. After she bought some ingredients, seem like she went straight home."

Koda Kumi's father answered, "She contact us regularly, and we know her past boyfriends. But this time she only said, "Don't worry". Marriage? 120% impossible!".

So it seems Nakai-kun was never seen around her house's neighbourhood. The possibility that this is just an object of disguise is getting higher and higher.

Let me get this straight... just my speculation:

1. In mid-August, Nakai-Kumi's rumour was published by Nikkan Sports. This paper had a battle which can create the hottest gossip with another sport paper. Most TV hosts were sure that this was only a false rumour.

2. For some certain reasons, Nakai and Kumi were told to act like they ARE dating... thus they just smiled when asked, and the agency didn't say anything either. I'm sure the reason at this time was NOT for Kouhaku... Nakai as Kouhaku's presenter was not announced yet, right?

3. After this... Nakai and Kumi were forced to act like they are dating? Had false dinner dates, false drive dates?? They were actually hoping to get caught by the paparazzi-s?

4. Kumi had romantic feelings for Nakai, for just a moment, but when she did these false dates with Nakai, she realized he's not her type?

5. In December, for Kouhaku, Kumi had a false stayover at Nakai's mansion, so the paparazzi can take a shot of them in front of his mansion?

6. After Kouhaku was over, that was when Nakai can firmly deny all the rumours?

Tsk..tskk..tsk.... things the entertainment people can do to achieve what they want....

I was hoping that Takuya's new drama would be a comedy especially since the last one was so serious and painful! :puppydog: My poor heart can't take another one. :shakehead: Although how can a school teacher become a prime minister unless its lighthearted :sweat: Let's just hope it's not so serious :fingerscrossed:

Hiro is not bad with short hair although I like longer hair, he's quite cute ne! :woot:

The Sanspo article on Kimura's drama, says that it's gonna be a HUMAN DRAMA, didn't mention comedy at all. Hmm....if he is the minister... the story would be about taking care of the country, desho? That is such a "heavy" theme :sweat:

The scriptwriter is Yasushi Fukuda who also writes for Hero and Galileo. I think it will be a human drama with a touch of comedy like in both Hero and Galileo. I'm liking it already! :mrgreen:

Nakai-kun's new hair style,, this is his first time he shown his new hair,, today is the new movie's first promotion!!!

:shocked: Oh Nakai..well it looks nice,Really i think it does look nice

Nakai looks sweet with his shaved head. I think it is a good move since it looked like he is balding soon anyway :hehe: .

As for the single, it seems like a few online stores is listing the single as a double A-side single. Although I haven't heard "White Message" yet but I am against the possiblility that this single is double A-sided. SMAP never had a double A-side single and I hope they don't break this tradition. Also, I wonder what the sticker included in the single looks like?

Most prominent online stores list this single as a double A-side; CDJapan, HMV. Amazon still has Sonomama though...

Don't know if Victor has finalized it or not yet.

Hai,, this is the promotion of Watashi wa Kai ni Naritai.. Nakai's holding his "child",, wa~~ cant wait for the interview,, I wanna know how's his felling with Nakai.. Like Shizuku,, she likes Shingo Papa lots ne~~ Oh,, it shown a little clips of the movie, too.. It looks sad..
