Hana Yori Dango: Shota Matsuda's Rumored Lovelife

The 2 June issue of FRIDAY has a report on Matsuda Shota and Sawajiri Erika allegedly dating where they made arrangements to meet at a traffic junction near Sawajiri's house and shared an umbrella to go to a dining bar. After dinner, they held hands and went to a convenience store to buy lots of stuff before returning to Sawajiri's place where Matsuda only left before dawn.


>Erika Sawajiri


Although Matsuda's agency claimed that they were just friends and Sawajiri's agency said that Matsuda was Sawajiri's senior in junior high and they had only bumped into each other on the street, it was evident that Sawajiri and Matsuda had arranged to meet up. Besides, before the FRIDAY report came to light, they have been said to be dating since months ago.

My take on this, I think they're relationship is beyond friendship because if you look closely with the photos, they're actually holding hands. Anyways, Erika is really cute awww I'm so envious!
