According to the latest issue of FRIDAY magazine, singer aiko (33) has found a new boyfriend. The man, who appears to be in his 20s, was photographed with aiko on several occasions. The pictures include the pair together in a car, cozily walking together, returning to aiko's apartment at 2am, and dining last Christmas at an expensive yakiniku restaurant.

aiko was previously in a relationship with TOKIO member Taichi Kokubun. They dated for about 8 years, and many thought that marriage was inevitable, but they broke up in 2007.

aiko's agency declined to comment on the reports of her new boyfriend.
