Regardless how hot the likes of Kumi Koda and Namie Amuro these days can get, there’s something about a Japanese girl in kimono.  Check out the 23 year old actress, model and former idol Yu Aoi (蒼井優) gracing us with her pure and simple beauty in traditional Japanese garment from the set of her latest hit NTV drama “Osen” (おせん).

I’ve got some nice shots of Japanese model and actress Yu Aoi (蒼井優) looking so graceful and cute in various kimono outfits.

Yu Aoi Dating V6 Boy

Yu Aoi and Junichi Okada, both have a squeaky clean image and are considered the model for Japanese wholesomeness

Popular Japanese model and actress Yu Aoi (蒼井優) has been caught dating Junichi Okada (岡田准一), member of Japanese boy band V6. Photos of the couple walking intimately together are splashed across the pages inside Japanese weekly tabloid magazine FRIDAY (フライデー) which went on the stand today.

Yu and Junichi have been rumored to be romantically linked since they both starred in the TBS drama “Tiger & Dragon” (タイガー＆ドラゴン) back in ‘05. They reportedly became friends after working together and according to people close to them their relationship have turned intense within the last few months.

The well known Japanese tabloid that’s also responsible for breaking the news on other secret celebrity relationships shows the couple intimately holding the same umbrella after doing some grocery shopping. FRIDAY’s paparrazi then witnessed Johnny’s Entertainment idol enter the condo of the homey looking 23 year old….apparently spending the night together (trust me, although this is nothing to bat an eyelid about in Western countries, it’s enough for a scandal in Japanese society).

When contacted for a response, Junichi and V6’s management replied, “We leave all the private matters up to him so we shall refrain from commenting.” Yu’s handler Itoh Company Group provided a vague statement that says, “We have been told that they have become close since working together. Since she is already an adult we’ll leave her private affairs up to her.”
