The long swirling marriage rumors of most likely dating top J-stars Matsumoto Jun and Inoue Mao has turned into one of those “I’ll see it when I believe it” stories that pop up at least once a year with an update. If these two didn’t fall for each other playing the leads in iconic manga turned J-dorama adaptation of Hana Yori Dango (Boys Before Flowers) then folks wouldn’t care as much. But knowing that onscreen Makino and Domyouji got their happy ending in real life is one of those shipper epic fantasies so the excitement over then is all too understandable. Things have been weird for the last year after rumors that Mao and Jun would get married in early 2016 after she finished her Taiga dorama came and went, and recently there were tabloid reports claiming Jun had been cheating on Mao for a few years with AV actress Tsukasa Aoi. Neither said responded to both sets of rumors but this week Mao swung a small stick and make a big mark with her responses to a reporter’s questions on dating and her acting career.
When Mao was approached by a reporter outside her home this week, she took a few questions including whether she was planning to retire since she changed agencies last year after finishing her Taiga and since then hasn’t done an acting project. Mao assured that she wasn’t retiring and had no plans to. When asked about whether she was getting married to Jun soon, Mao coyly said she couldn’t comment until she talked with her agency. Finally when asked about the Jun cheating rumors on her with an actress making soft porn, Mao laughed and said that she was so surprised at how imaginative folks are with making things up. There you have it, as close to confirmation that MaoJun is still on as any so far.

WISH THEM THE BEST IF THEY ARE REALLY TOGETHER!! <3
Lol! They remind me of another celebrity couple in a different country.
May i know who the other couple is ?
May i know who the other couple is ? I m checking if we are thinking about the same couple :)
Lol Nadech and Yaya from Thailand....
But I think Nadech has already confirmed the relationship last year or so. In one of his interviews, the reporter asked him if he's in a relationship or is he seeing someone atm, and his respond was, "You guys already know who she is." Pretty much confirming their relationship status. He was definitely more vivid with his answer then Mao is with hers, but I see where you're coming from lol.
@Kim, um...not really, they clearly said they are leaving it up to their fans/media to interpret their relationship. never really stating they are together as boyfriend and girlfriend.
I am here in 2019 and Nadech and Yaya are SOOOOO CONFIRMED!! Yaaayyy!! ??❤️?
You know I dont get it because they are now veterans and their popularity they should have a large control of their careers to admit if their dating. I dont care much for a confirmation as long as there is a surprise wedding in the near future. For some reason they are reminding me of Yaya and Nadech
Lmao!!! I was thinking the exact thing!! They remind me of Nadech and Yaya!!
yes both of them a veteran and v popular.but if one of them is an idol who has strict order about open dating,they definetely would try to keep it as discreet as they can.
If this is regarding Nadech and Yaya being discreet about dating...they aren't really discreet, they just won't admit it. Everyone knows about it though...i honestly think they need to separate and start working with other people. they have become branded together so this whole dating thing is starting to look like a publicity stunt.
True. I do get it but I just hope they are not hiding it because Johnny doesnt want them to go public.
I think I read thats its mostly down Juns band members/management not wanting any thing to effect Arashi`s popularity but i`m not sure..as they hadnt officially come out as a ship its all speculation
Is Arashi even as popular as they were a few years ago? I don't follow as much as I used to and I'm quite infrequently on live journal but I remember back in the day having to check multiple times a day to get new videos and now there's hardly anything!
They're so cute... I'm having HYD flashbacks. I'm not pressuring them or anything, but if Rou Xi can get her 4th Prince ANYTHING is possible....... ;-)
I completely agree!!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Yamapi and Satomi!
Me too. I don't think Yamapi or Satomi have denied the rumours of them being together either? So I guess it has something to do with the guys being in Johnny so they have to keep it hidden?
Yasss next will be Satomi and Yamapi!!
Lol never thought there'd be a day when I'd Nadech and Yaya's name on here. Good luck t
Had to LMAO at this comment. Yes, Nadech and Yaya...
wahhh.. my first otp..
its been 10 years though..
congrats Makino & Domyoji..
I am here in 2019 & Nadech & Yaya are SOOOOO CONFIRMED!! ??❤️?
Sorry, I think I replied to the wrong person!!
not so surprisingly that when Jun had an ambush interview by Bunshun last year and he was asked about his relationship with Mao, he was evasive as well using the jimusho excuse LOL
oh well, if they don't want to admit or at least a denial it's their choice
only time will tell now
heck even Katori Shingo's GF has been waiting for 20 years
Wdym?
I've been fan of this couple since hana yori dango era. Wish them both all the best on and off screen
As per the original Japanese article from Josei Jishin when asked if she's getting married to Matsumoto-san, Mao said this: 'If I end up answering this, it would cause inconvenience to everyone. I want to answer but I'm sorry.'
She never mentioned about consulting her agency first.
Maybe, the inconvenience is that you want them to be together and married when they're not/no more together...This sentence is a 2 sens
Echah this was my thoughts exactly. What if they just don't want to deceive everyone who ship them so hard
