It was reported by 'Weekly Bunshun' that Wakai Koto of Mrs. GREEN APPLE and Nina of NiziU are in a close relationship. According to the report, the two have deepened their relationship since last year and have developed into a relationship where they visit each other's homes and stay overnight. Regarding Wakai Koto, in March of this year, 'FRIDAY' reported on an overnight date with gravure idol Ichika Minori, and this report has raised suspicions that he may have been in a romantic relationship with two women simultaneously. The management of NiziU, 'Sony Music Labels,' commented on the relationship with Wakai, stating, 'It is true that they became close recently due to guitar. It is merely a relationship of mutual respect between seniors and juniors.' Mrs. GREEN APPLE's agency, 'Project-MGA,' revealed, 'There were items that differed from the facts, but basically, we leave the private matters to the individual. We will continue to communicate closely with them.' NiziU performed at the music festival 'The Performance' celebrating TV Asahi's 65th anniversary last April, where they had their first joint live performance with Mrs. GREEN APPLE. Furthermore, in January of this year, they collaborated with Mrs. GREEN APPLE's vocalist Motoki Omori on the YouTube channel 'THE FIRST TAKE,' where Omori provided the ballad 'AlwayS,' which he wrote, composed, and produced, garnering attention. Given that there has been interaction between the groups for some time, many fans were shocked by this report. Additionally, since their debut, NiziU has been active in Korea, and Mrs. GREEN APPLE successfully held their first solo concert in Seoul in February this year, both being known as popular artists in Korea. Fans are concerned that future reports may impact their activities in Korea, and attention is focused on further developments.
