Tamaki Hiroshi admits to his relationship with Yoshitaka Yuriko

Tamaki Hiroshi has admitted that he is currently dating Yoshitaka Yuriko as reported earlier by Jousei Seven. He is currently away in Europe for the filming of "Nodame Cantabile" movies and was interviewed over the phone on 29 June. He revealed that they had become close through the filming of "Love Shuffle" in winter this year and they have been in contact all this while. Although he did not confirm specifically whether she is his girlfriend, he was smiling when the question was posed. As Tamaki is unable to return to Japan due to the hectic filming schedule, he will be absent from the first-day screening of his new movie, "MW".
