SMAP’s Inagaki Goro Admits to Being in an Intimate Relationship with a Man?

[eplizo]

 

“He stays over 2, 3 times a week.â€

“There is a room just for him in my home.â€

“We just share an electronic toothbrush and just change the bristles.â€

“We compromise on who takes a bath first.â€

“I also have him manage my money.â€

 

On “Sanma & SMAP! Beauty and Beast Christmas Special,†Inagaki Gori (41) continued to share details about his companionship with the “mysterious man†Hiro-kun (54) in the segment “Hitoshi Matsumoto no Suberani Hanashi.†Also in the case of the recently aired “Gyorei no Dekiru Houristu Soudanjo,†Inagaki’s talk of “Hiro-kun†was cut from the broadcast, but it is said that he spoke of him constantly during the recording.

This is not Inagaki’s first time speaking of this man. In 2009, allusions were made to the existence of “Hiro-kun.â€

His Nickname is Ginza’s Jackieâ€

Their first meeting was 15 years previously at a wine bar in Azubujuuban in Tokyo. It seems that “their friendship deepened while sharing wine.†About this “Hiro-kun†or “Hiroyuki-kun†from television:

“He is the manager of a taxi company with a wife and child(ren). Because he goes to board meetings once a week, he goes for walks 5 hours a day. He was given the name “Ginza’s Jackey†because of his habit of wearing masks while drinking and walking during the Bubble economy period,†[inagaki] introduced him as.

Even though he was behind a mosaic, Hiro-kun himself made an appearance and left a comment.

“Because he is certainly my bestest of friends, we are going out.â€

“The fact that when I am with him and we are so familiar [with each other] that all uncomfortable feelings disappear just might be miraculous,†Hiro said in a scene of great praise. Inagaki also said “Emotionally he is like a lover.â€

However, why has a currently acting idol like Inagaki revealed such risky details up until now? The January 22 issue of Shunkan Shinchou has released the agency’s worries about this “behind the scenes information.†The media, who are after Hiro-kun’s real identity, have shot pictures of the two of them together. Because they will be troubled if a “homo article†comes out, [the agency] is alluding to treating the situation like a joke.

In the first place, Inagaki’s “gay suspicions†have continued to be whispered about on the internet for many years, so it is like an urban legend.

“He used the wave of the public and came out, huhâ€

“So they are half co-habitating. His partner has a wife and kids so is this an affair?â€

Such comments have been seen here and there. In that direction, comments from fans worrying about Inagaki’s mental state are many.

“In contrast, he is saying that there are not people in the entertainment industry that he can trust that much.â€

“It’s fine if he hasn’t been brainwashed like Osero Nakashima, though.â€

Previously, Inagaki has said that “there are many people in existence like Hiro.â€

“He has fun with dancer-like men, amusing himself by going shopping and having meals in Daikanyama.†(Weekly Magazine Reporter)

Such shocking information also exists. What is the the real situation?!

not sure how reliable it all is since it was cut from recording I think, but it's interesting to say the least. If he were to come out, he would probably be the first high-profile celeb to do so.

[Amaya]

just saw this on arama omg........this is damn

[Glou]

And what?

 

Good for him if he's happy like that. I hope the rumours about his partner being married are false, though, it would be sad for his wife.

 

Is he the first openly gay idol in Japan?

[Sun☼Shine]

I wonder what will happen now.

How will fans react? And will he be allowed to stay in the group?

 

Is this the first J-Idol to come out while still being active?

 

Edit:

I wonder who decided to cut it from them recording.

[Syara]

I just saw this in arama, and i'm still WTF about it. omfg

[Teru]

damn, that's interesting

[Envied]

So the man stays at his house 2-3 times a week and shares a tooth brush with Inagaki, but has a wife and children at home? Mmmhmmm, I would have had a problem with a capital PROBLEM if I was that mans wife.

If this has been going for so long and they basically stopped being afraid of getting found out, then she must know -- which tells me there either has been some sort of arrangement from the start or one came to be as they went on.

[aoe]

sounds like something that 2ch users would write 

[camelliabloom]

Yes more gays in Jpop, I love it

A lavender marriage perhaps? Or maybe staying together for the children's sake?

[milo001]

It's not wrong to be gay and having a partner who is much older but why married man Goro? He can find any mans who is single(younger or older) if he wants. Why must he choose a man who has wife and kids.

 

And I thought Tsuyoshi is the one who might be gay. Never thought of Goro at all. 

[Jeffrey Jung]

Ew sharing a toothbrush

[My Ship is Black Pearl]

Gorooooooooooooooooooo

[Hitotsu]

what?   but good for him tho 

[Vainiyang]

Not only it's shocking because he's a star, but also because it's a Johnny and you know how strict they are

No there are several (at least two) that I can think of in AKB that are out. Though he's the first big megastar idol to do so.

[americaneaglelover91]

 

But...to be honest.................I'm not shocked..............................................at all.

[partaymaker]

Goro, you are the bae, but that situation sounds hella messy.....

[Him]

Hot.

who in AKB are out?

 

Also like a lot of people, I really thought it'd be Tsuyoshi first too

Takita Kayoko and Iwata Karen are both out (as in, both have professed to at least have romantically liked and/or have been in a relationship with a girl in the past). 

 

That being said, I feel like celebrating someone being out in Japan in particular is a bit missing the point for LGBT rights in the region.
