On the latest issue of "Shukan Bunshun" (BUNGEISHUNJU Ltd.) that was published on January 31st (JST), it was reported that AKB48's Minegishi Minami spent the night at Shirahama Alan's place on the 17th of this month.

Shirahama is a popular member of GENERATIONS that made a major debut last year as EXILE's "little brother" group. He has appeared on some dramas like "GTO" and "Rokudenashi BLUES" last year, and he also starred in late-night drama "Sugarless."

Minegishi and Shirahama co-starred together in a reading drama "Moshimo Kimi ga." back in 2011.



Speaking of Minegishi, she is known for her "unpopular character" as she states on the media how she is unpopular with guys even though she is one of the more popular members in AKB48. Thus, the fans of both Minegishi and Shirahama are agitated by the report.

Both Minegishi and Shirahama's agencies did not make a comment regarding this issue, but they explained that "We heard they've been friends ever since they co-starred together."

Though AKB48 is known for their "no romantic relationship allowed" rule, AKS's answer was that "We have not yet fully assessed the current situation."
