| Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s Wakai Hiroto Reportedly Dating NiziU’s Nina While Still Seeing Gravure Model (More pics on Bunshun — we couldn’t post them here for obvious reasons.) |
Reports from multiple media outlets on November 4 claim that Mrs. GREEN APPLE guitarist Wakai Hiroto (29) has been romantically linked to not just one, but two women: NiziU member Nina (20) and gravure model Miri Ichika (26).
According to Shūkan Bunshun, the publication that broke the story, insiders revealed that Wakai Hiroto and Nina have been “in a close relationship,” with the magazine even catching moments said to prove their connection.
Meanwhile, Wakai’s alleged relationship with Mirai Ichika — which was reported earlier this year by FRIDAY — apparently continued during the same period.
ICYMI: Wakai Hiroto spotted dating Ichika Miri.
The Nation’s Band and Its Most Talked-About Guitarist
Mrs. GREEN APPLE — often called “Japan’s national band of the Reiwa era” — has been unstoppable in recent years.
With vocalist Ōmori Motoki, keyboardist Fujisawa Ryōka, and guitarist Wakai Hiroto forming the trio, the group boasts record-breaking achievements such as two consecutive Japan Record Awards and over 10 billion domestic streams.
It’s no wonder Hiroto Wakai’s star power and charm have made him a major name in the entertainment industry.
A record label insider told Bunshun, “Their songs dominate the charts whether new or old. They’re truly the face of modern J-pop, and Wakai’s popularity is massive, especially among young audiences.”
Two Love Lines and the Agencies’ Responses
Wakai’s earlier link with model Miri Ichika surfaced in March when photos of the two spending the night together were published.
However, it appears that behind the scenes, Wakai had already grown close with Nina, the youngest member of NiziU.
Sources claim that their connection began over music — more specifically, guitars — and the two reportedly bonded over creative interests.
When asked for comment, Sony Music Labels, which manages NiziU, confirmed:
“It’s true they became friendly through guitar-related conversations, but they maintain a respectful senior-junior relationship.”
Meanwhile, Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s management Project-MGA gave a neutral statement, saying:
“While some details differ from the reports, his private life is left to his own discretion. We will continue to communicate closely with him.”
Public Reactions
Fans have been caught off guard by the double romance rumour.
Some expressed disbelief, saying they “can’t imagine Nina being involved in any scandal,” while others admitted that Wakai’s charm has long been known in the industry.
Despite the buzz, neither party has directly denied the possibility of a relationship.
Bunshun’s digital issue goes further, claiming to include photos and detailed accounts from acquaintances who allegedly witnessed their growing closeness — and even Nina’s emotional response after learning about the earlier dating report involving Mirai Ichika.
