Shuukan Bunshun has revealed that You Yokoyama (32), the eldest member of Kanjani8 has been living together with an older model.
This was apparently discovered because of a water leakage incident at a tower apartment in Minato-ku. In the early morning of March 31, the tenant right beneath Yokoyama's apartment woke up due to water leaking strongly from his ceiling. The water never stopped leaking and they had to resort to breaking a hole open in the ceiling in order to take the water out.
"We're not sure if that was the reason, but this incident was reinvestigated later on. And you'd expect the tenant upstairs to apologize for this, but he never came. And the real estate agent just kept saying that they 'are not allowed to disclose personal information of [their] clients' when I asked about the tenant living upstairs" - (resident)
But according to the investigation reports later on, the name indicated on the records was Yokoyama's real name, Kimitaka Yokoyama. Beside his name was the name of a model who was living together with him.
Is this Ryoko Nakano?
She has a face similar to Yokoyama's.
Everyone says that people tend to go for someone who looks like you.
>> She looks like a man from the nose down
Yokoyama's girlfriend
>> She's a beauty with a hard, stern face, but her asymmetrical features kind of give the impression that she still has some vulnerability, which is kinda nice.
He's 32 and has an older woman?
Wow, he's such a nice guy then.
30s, single, and a model. That's amazing.
A tower apartment in Minato-ku?
I don't know if he's living in it or he's renting it out but he's earning a lot, huh.
>> I heard that Johnny's could rent units under a corporate name because the frantic fans will go about and look for the addresses of these celebrities. They also purchase their cars under the corporate name.
I've always thought these Johnny's talents debuted with their real names. So that isn't the case, huh?
>> He used his real name at first, but it just suddenly became You.
He was apparently told by Johnny-san: "YOU, change your name to Yuu (You)".
But I don't think Yokoyama's the type who'd lose wotas even if he gets married.
This has been his girlfriend for a looooong time now.
Everyone knows this already.
And people have already been saying that they should get married already.
Kanjani fans will still support him even if he gets married.
Here's my question, do you even include the name of your live-in partner in the contract even if she isn't your wife?
>> You also write the name of the person who will be living with you when you seal the contract.
Yokoyama's not that young anymore, huh?
These new Johnny's guys are taking forever to make themselves known to the public, huh.
32, with an older woman? Well, that just increased his likability...
I've always thought he was young, but he's actually an oldie, huh.
A 32-year-old idol? w
It seems that even the idol industry has an aging population.
>> SMAP's already in their 40s, you know w
I'm surprised that this idol who's being pushed now is already 32, and I'm also surprised that he's living together with an older woman.
Why report something that happened in March just now?
(32)
It would have been a different story if they sold as much as Arashi, but a 32-year-old idol is a bit too much.
Even TOKIO and SMAP have members in their 40s already.
I really wonder what it is with these male idols.
To think that KAT-TUN's Taguchi even handed out 5,000 yen as gifts to the moving company, an employee still leaked that he was living together with someone and had a stash of porn videos. I felt sorry for him since he was doing things properly...
Eh, Yokoyama's 32??
I'm more surprised about that.
Yokoyama
Murakami
Yasuda
Nishikido

Nishikido's overwhelming victory www
This guy's personal history is pretty tragic
At 3 - Parents get divorced, last time he sees his biological dad.
At 4 - Mother remarries, Yokoyama is seen as a nuisance and is handed over to his grandparents.
At 6 - Half brother Tsutomu is born, but Yokoyama still doesn't get to live with them.
At 8 - Half brother Mitsuru is born, but Yokoyama still doesn't get to live with them.
His father develops a heart disease when he was in junior high and he is finally taken back to his mother.
His stepfather hits him everyday with a stick for no reason.
His mother and stepfather tell him to work instead of going to senior high school and is sold to Johnny's.
At 16 - He starts earning, while his mother divorces once again to rely on his earnings.
The grandparents who raised him pass away.
At 29 - His mother passes away.
Yokoyama loves his younger brother so much despite being hated when they were young.
His younger brother is a delinquent who flunked a year in college, went to graduate school thanks to Yoko's earnings, then dates his brother's fan whom he got to know through Twitter.
Yokoyama always talked about his family and the abuse he got from his stepfather when they were still performing in Shochikuza.
>> Poor fellow
>> He's really went through a lot...
Fans of this guy should allow him to get married.
And if it's true that they've been dating for over 10 years now, then he's really a nice guy.
>> I'm glad he succeeded at work.
I hope he becomes happy.
>> This is...
I think it's time for him to become happy now.
But I think it'll be impossible especially when you think of how girls will still be screaming for him.
>> You can't really say he's lived a happy life no matter how much money he has.
>> He probably wants to create his own family, especially after going through something as difficult as this. Jani-wotas should allow him.
Is this the scoop that will make your hands tremble?
It's not making my hands tremble at all, though ww
>> Right, there was something like that www
True, it doesn't make my hand tremble www
Kanjani8's order of popularity
Okura > Yasuda > Nishikido > Maruyama >> Shibutani = Yokoyama > Murakami
But the most capable member as a talent is the lowest guy, Murakami
>> I don't know the faces of the top 2.
Idol-wotas are really different from the general public, huh.
So Yokoyama's living in with someone?
Damn, my hand's trembling.
When you just look at his face, he's actually a pretty good-looking ikemen. But you'd be amazed at the gap between his looks and his character especially when you see him in those noontime shows like Kirakira Afro.
What surprised me most is that Yokoyama's 32 w
These celebrities really look young.
Even his skin looks so smooth.
>> Tackey's also the same age, you know.
Arashi's Ohno will be 33 soon.
But 32, that's already old enough to be married and have a kid.
But I'm relieved that he's with a woman. Looks like Johnny's in general have changed, huh.
