In Mid October Tomohisa Yamashita was spotted quietly boarding the final train on the Shinkasen subway line from Shinagawa Station, he was attending a Kinki Kids concert in Osaka earlier in the day. His destination? The apartment of actress Satomi Ishihara. It’s rumored that the two originally started causing attention after Yamapi attended a party held at Satomi’s place back in May.
The two starred together in the 2015 hit Fuji Television drama series “5-ji Kara 9-ji Made: Watashi ni Koi Shita Obōsan”. What makes this rumored relationship interesting is that both Yamapi and Satomi have been billed as “Co-star killers” by some tabloids, having been romantically linked to many of their previous co-stars. Most recently Satomi was linked to J SOUL BROTHERS member Takanori Iwata, who both starred in the 2014 Fuji television series “Dear Sister”. They were spotted together at a restaurant famous for affluent customers wanting to be discreet, staying well into the night. The ‘relationship’ was never confirmed though, and was most likely just two friends hanging out.
Naturally, Yamapi’s agency Johnny & Associates has kept quiet on the rumors as well as Satomi’s agency.
