TOKIO's Nagase Tomoya reportedly dating a violinist?

TOKIO's Nagase Tomoya is reportedly dating a violinist who graduated from Tokyo University of Arts and is 6 years younger than him, according to the 8th May issue of "Josei Seven". The article mentioned that Nagase drove his girlfriend home on one night in early May which was still during the Golden Week holidays. They travelled for about an hour before reaching her family home in the suburbs of Tokyo and she carried her pet cat into the house with Nagase following behind. After a brief stay, Nagase drove back to the city alone where he met friends at a cafe.

Nagase and this lady were first caught by FRIDAY a year ago while on a yakiniku dinner date. However, her identity wasn't known at that time thus leading to speculation among fans over her. Nagase previously dated Hamasaki Ayumi and Aibu Saki but both relationships had since ended. When asked about this lady's relationship with Nagase, Johnny's Jimusho said that they are merely friends.

The article also mentioned that this lady is a violinist who met Nagase about a year ago when they both appeared in a TV music programme. She is said to come from a wealthy family where her father had retired from his managerial position in a big company while her mother is a musician.
