Asami Mizukawa is dating with Koide Keisuke

The latest issue of Josei Seven, which went on sale Thursday, reports that actor Koide Keisuke (27) and actress Mizukawa Asami (27) are dating. The two have been friends since appearing together in the 2006 drama series “Nodame Cantabile,” but it seems that it later turned romantic.

According to the magazine, the pair have been spotted on several dates since early February, such as at the Fuji-Q Highland amusement park, a spa, and a cafe bar. Mizukawa was also at a party for Koide the night before his birthday. In mid-April, the magazine snapped photos of Mizukawa as she was leaving Koide’s apartment building at night.

However, both of their agencies responded to inquiries by stating that they are just friends. Mizukawa’s agency said that there were several other friends present during their reported “date.”

Asami Mizukawa star in Inu no Omawarisan

Asami Mizukawa (26) will star in a special drama project titled "Inu no Omawarisan," being broadcast by TBS this summer. The drama is based on a book of the same name, compiled from a personal blog by a woman named Mayumi Oishi, who died at the age of 24.

Mizukawa plays the young woman, who lives happily with her husband and her daughter. While pregnant with her second child, she falls ill with cancer, leading to her death shortly after she gives birth.

While she was alive, Oishi wrote in her blog about her fight against the cancer, which was diagnosed in February 2008. She was hospitalized and underwent treatment during her pregnancy, and she gave birth four months later. She passed away five months after that.

The "Inu no Omawarisan" dramatization will have Masaru Nagai (31) playing Mizukawa's husband. TBS plans to broadcast the episode sometime in July.

Ninomiya Kazunari and Asami Mizukawa are dating

The latest Shuukan Josei reports that Arashi member Ninomiya Kazunari and Nodame Cantabile actress Mizukawa Asami went out for a meal together at a nabe restaurant in Shibuya. While Ninomiya is rumoured to be dating Nagasawa Masami, many speculate it was done behind her back, or that he was seeing both of them at the same time. However, it's said that Ninomiya and Mizukawa became good friends after collaborating together in Abunai Hokago back in 1999. Mizukawa also collaborated with Nagasawa in the 2008 drama Last Friends. So perhaps it was entirely a friendly outing.

In other news, Aoi Yu, who did voice work along with Ninomiya in the manga Tekkon Kinkreet, has been rumoured to have broken up with V6 member Okada Junichi. She has supposedly gotten close to actor Omori Nao, currently in the Taiga drama Ryoma Den. They were spotted eating together twice in one week.
