The well-known actor Oguri Shun is apparently in hot water this week for cheating on his model wife, Yamada Yu, by leaving his GPS-tracked cellphone in a Yakitoriya while he goes off to romance another woman.
Interestingly, Oguri is also a former flame of Yaguchi Mari, who made headlines recently for cheating on her husband.
Netizens weren’t very forgiving of Oguri’s supposed actions, with many saying that he clearly treatment for sex addiction, and they are clearly shocked at the news, which was the most read article of the day on Yahoo! Japan.
Oguri Shun’s Strategy For “Not Getting Caught Cheating” — Hasn’t Stopped Playing Away At Night
Oguri Shun (30), appearing at an event for the movie “Captain Herlock”. Along with his co-stars, Miura Haruma (23), and Furuta Arata (47), and arriving on a water-bus called “Hotaruna” designed by the manga artist Leiji Matsumoto, he smiles, and says “That was fun”. He said of the film that “It has broadened by views of a world I had never seen, a world on a magnificent scale”.
Even after marrying the model Yamada Yu in March of last year, Oguri is still in demand with film and television work. Perhaps in order to support her popular husband, Yamada has cut down on her own television appearances, and she devotes herself to modelling in fashion magazines. Oguri too, should be so busy that he doesn’t have time for fun, but it seems as though that isn’t the case. If he has just a little free time, he goes to a place with other women. That place is Gotanda…
“One secret meeting place that Oguri often uses is in Gotanda. Still, the owner of a Yakitori-ya nearby understands Oguri’s situation, that ‘Yamada Yuu keeps an eye on Oguri through the GPS function on his cell phone, so he can’t just go an cheat on her with other women’, and so he helps Oguri out. The actor leaves his mobile phone at the Yakitoriya, and apparently slinks off to the “place” where he has rendezvous with other women. Since his cell phone GPS signal indicates hes at the Yakitoriya, Yamada doesn’t find out about it. He says ‘Oh I’m going for a drink with my friends at that place we always go to”, and it seems that this puts Yamada at ease”. (An inside source)
Oguri Shun is well-known as a “co-star killer”. He is rumoured to have dated strings of famous actresses such as Horikita Maki (24), Ishihara Satomi (26). In the 10 years before his marriage, his affair with a young actress was reported in the weeklies. During their wedding reception, Yamada poked fun at him, saying that “If he cheats, I’ll put the screws on him. So much so that he won’t be working for a while afterward”, but somehow it seems that those screws are not so tight after all.
Comments from Yahoo! Japan:
kta*r19*25(kta…)さん:
If he wants to cheat so badly, they should just break up!
みりん(hi6…)さん:
I don’t know whether this story is for real or not, but if it is true, then it seems like Oguri Shun isn’t suited to marriage.
trn*t*n1(trn…)さん:
When it goes this far, it’s like an illness.
I wonder if Oguri Shun is a sex addict.
ゆーゆー!(ynm…)さん:
Think if he got in touch with Yaguchi she’d meet him at home! (笑)
rara*lala(lal…)さん:
It’s abnormal to want to cheat that much.
Guess he can’t use that Yakitoriya any more.
いみなし晃一(mac…)さん:
Well, we don’t know if these are the facts or not, but when I remember that Oguri Shun became more well known because he went out with Yaguchi Mari, it’s pretty meaningful…
mer*aid*1*0li*tl*(mer…)さん:
“She’s cut down on television appearances”
Doesn’t that just mean that there’s no call for her on TV anymore?
スモーク(a_r…)さん:
Bet Yamada’s gonna come down hard on him for this.
どんちゃん(don…)さん:
Bet the media are more desperate than Yamada to get a scoop on the place he’s been having these affairs.
HIP’S ROAD(rhc…)さん:
Yup, Oguri, you were really suited to Yagichi Mari after all…in so many ways…
レジ袋(eco…)さん:
If this is true, then no matter how handsome he is, no matter how famous he is, could she really be happy with a man who cheats like that? Seems to me that people who might be average but who are loyal, and who make an average family, are much happier. Couldn’t Yamada Yu just find someone normal like that?
くるんくるん(mik…)さん:
I don’t know about Oguri, but people who cheat will cheat, even if you try to tie them down! They just think of ways around it if you try too hard to stop them. Some guys stop doing it as soon as they have a child, but I don’t think it changes until you get to a certain age.
千静大岡(sal…)さん:
You already thought of the next way around it, Oguri?
You can’t be using that Yakitoriya anymore. And Yamada, try sticking a GPS sensor in his skull!
sil(sil…)さん:
Ah…can’t use that place anymore.
Pink ☆ Heart(pin…)さん:
Can they reveal the name of the Yakitoriya?
duck(gua…)さん:
Guess it’s impossible to try to suppress Oguri’s love of women (-ω-)/
iwa**notumi*e*ir*(iwa…)さん:
And…who’s the woman mentioned in the story?
swa*94*7(swa…)さん:
If you try to stop him too much, I guess it’ll make him want to cheat.
Nah, it’s bad though.
ei_*i*ko(ei_…)さん:
Tie someone down because you’re worried → They’ll want to escape.
It’s just the way human psychology works.
Seems like Yamada Yu has no confidence in herself.
