FRIDAY reports that talento Hinano Yoshikawa and former DA PUMP member SHINOBU are currently in a relationship. The magazine spotted the pair returning to Yoshikawa's apartment after having a meal together.

Management for both celebrities denied any romance, however. SHINOBU's agency acknowledged that they did go out to eat, but said that they are not in a relationship. Yoshikawa's agency said they became good friends after meeting two years ago in Okinawa when Yoshikawa obtained her scuba-diving license.
