One weekly magazine reported this week that Teppei Koike (WaT) was spotted on a date with actress Haruka Ayase. The date supposedly occurred in the Meguro ward of Tokyo in early October, and the two were said to have made no attempt to disguise themselves.

On Thursday, Koike posted on his blog that the rumor is entirely false. He explained that he is not even acquainted with Ayase, nor has ever worked with her.
