A fresh report from Japanese weekly magazine Women Seven has stirred up buzz after claiming Snow Man’s Miyadate Ryota (32) and NTV announcer Kuroda Miyu (27) have been quietly seeing each other, mostly meeting at his home since last year. The article suggests their relationship has developed discreetly, with the pair choosing privacy over public outings.
According to the magazine’s upcoming February 26 issue, eyewitnesses allegedly spotted Kuroda leaving Miyadate’s Tokyo residence early in the morning before heading straight to work at Nippon TV in Shiodome. The timing reportedly suggested an overnight stay.
Within Snow Man, Miyadate is known as the group’s so-called “royal character”, affectionately nicknamed “Date-sama” by fans.
His polished manners, slow-paced delivery style, and calm aura have made him stand out — not just among younger fans but also older audiences who appreciate his composed charm.

Beyond music, he’s been steadily expanding into variety shows, dramas and films, strengthening his image as one of the group’s most versatile members.
Industry insiders often describe him as someone with a genuinely warm personality and a strong sense of respect toward supporters.
On the other side, Kuroda Miyu is considered one of Nippon TV’s most promising young announcers.

Currently serving as MC on the morning information programme DayDay., she’s frequently labelled as a potential successor to the network’s top-tier presenters.
Her polished yet approachable style has helped her quickly gain recognition within the station.
Women Seven alleges that since the beginning of this year, Kuroda Miyu has been seen visiting Ryota Miyadate’s home regularly. The report also mentions that she was observed arriving the evening before and leaving early the next morning to head directly to work.

The article goes further, claiming she would prepare homemade meals during her visits.
Sources close to the pair reportedly described them as straightforward personalities who grew closer over time, with Ryota Miyadate said to prefer meeting at home to avoid public attention — especially considering his careful approach towards fans.
There is a six-year age gap between them, and according to the publication, their connection reportedly deepened sometime last year.
Agency and Network Response
When asked about the alleged relationship, Ryota Miyadate’s agency responded by describing Kuroda as “one of his friends.” Nippon TV, meanwhile, declined to comment on the private matters of its employees, maintaining its standard stance regarding staff personal lives.
Notably, neither side issued a direct denial.
Some fans expressed surprise but remained supportive, saying Ryota Miyadate deserves happiness in his private life. A number of comments praised the pair’s low-key approach, arguing that if they are indeed dating, keeping things home-based shows consideration toward fans and media scrutiny.

Others, however, voiced concern about timing and transparency, especially given Snow Man’s massive popularity and Ryota Miyadate’s carefully crafted princely image. A few sceptics also pointed out that “friend” is a common industry phrase that doesn’t necessarily confirm or deny anything.
Meanwhile, neutral observers have taken a wait-and-see approach, noting that without official confirmation, the story remains speculative.
Snow Man continues to dominate sales and public attention in Japan, and any personal news involving its members naturally attracts headlines. Ryota Miyadate’s brand, built around elegance and composure, makes this rumoured relationship particularly intriguing to fans who closely follow his image.
The full details, including claims about nail appointments before visits, homemade dishes, and how they allegedly met, are set to appear in the latest issue of Women Seven.
For now, it’s a story built on observation rather than confirmation. What do you think — is this just industry speculation, or could there be something more behind those early-morning departures?
