V6's Sakamoto Masayuki (38) was present at a press event for the play he's starring in, "Alibai no nai Tenshi" (Angel without an Alibi) [July 3-19 at Tokyo Globe Theater]. Regarding his association with singer and former Morning Musume member Nakazawa Yuko (36), he denied a romantic relationship, saying "We get along well as friends."
This is the first time Sakamoto has talked about Nakazawa pubicly. The two appeared together in a play in 2001, and thereafter weekly publications have reported about their passionate relationship. They were even reported to be nearing marriage, but he furthered the negation by saying, "I'm not thinking about it at all."
He plays the role of a man working in an alibi store, creating alibis for people. As for making up his own alibis, he confessed: "When invited out for a drink a sempai from my agency, I've declined about 10 times saying my grandmother collapsed. The truth is she's fine." His co-stars are Aika Mire (45), Kazama Shunsuke (26) and others. By the way, the sempai mentioned is "H-san"=Higashiyama Noriyuki (43).
