Matsuyama Kenichi & Koyuki on a dinner date?

Matsuyama Kenichi and Koyuki were caught on a dinner date as published in the 23rd April issue of "Jousei Seven". This is the first romance scoop on Matsuyama.

In the middle of this month, Matsuyama and Koyuki were having dinner with 2 other male friends of Matsuyama at a sukiyaki restaurant. Subsequently, the group went to the apartment of one of the friends. Later that night, Matsuyama drove Koyuki back home and the reporters took shots of her sitting in the front seat and walking together with Matsuyama. Earlier at the end of March, the two of them were on a dinner date alone at a restaurant which Koyuki frequents.

The two of them came to know each other through the filming of "Kamui Gaiten" and spent lots of time together in Okinawa. As Koyuki is 8 years older than Matsuyama, he went to her for advice on many things while she even made lunch boxes for him during the filming. Actually, the two of them were not able to work together at first. Koyuki had rejected the role first because of clashes with her schedule. Kikuchi Rinko took her place but was injured in Nov 2007 so she had to drop the role. Likewise, Matsuyama also suffered injuries thus the filming was delayed. As a result, Koyuki could make it for the filming this time.

Both parties' agencies denied any romantic involvement between the two and said that they were merely friends.

This smells fishy. Maybe pre-publicity for Kamui Gaiten? Going for dinner together is not enough to warrant a report like this. Unless they hold hands, hug, kiss or spend the night together, I treat such reports with a tinge of salt because there have been false alarms in the past which seem to be more of an attempt to boost the awareness of the so-called "couples" upcoming projects. Anyway, there is another BIGGER headline grabbing happening today so I think all eyes will be on that. I will cover that in my next post.
