On the 23rd, the agency for "NHK News 7" weather caster, Nakarai Sae (38), denied on their official home page the allegations of Nakarai and Texas Rangers pitcher Tateyama Yoshinori (38) having an affair.

Nakarai denied the allegations, �I�ve already said the article was false through my agency. Yoshinori and I have gone out to eat together with other friends when we have the chance, but we have no other relation besides that�.

Nakarai�s leaving �NHK News 7� has nothing to do with the false article, as it has been reported that she has been planning to leave since December. Nakarai has been looking for different news programs to work for since the New Year began. �A lot of people have been asking me questions about it and I�ve troubled them. Due to this, I wanted to come out and deny these allegations�.

Lastly she commented, �I want to do my work properly until March arrives. Thank you so much for looking after me these past seven years as News 7�s weather caster�.

On the 9th, Yoshinori denied the affair as well. He received tweets from his followers asking, �This is an incorrect report, right?� to which he answered, �Yes. This is an incorrect report�.
