Hiroshi Tamaki, Yuriko Yoshitaka find love

[Tokyograph News]

Last season's drama series "Love Shuffle" (TBS) revolved around a group of men and women mixing and matching their relationships in an attempt to find their right mates. The experiment apparently worked out for two of the show's stars: Hiroshi Tamaki (29) and Yuriko Yoshitaka (20), who are said to now be seriously dating.

In "Love Shuffle," Tamaki played a manager at an IT company who was on the fast track due to his engagement to the president's daughter. Yoshitaka, on the other hand, played an art student undergoing psychiatric counseling. Although their characters did not end up together, the two actors hit it off and continued their dates off-screen.

Sources said that the two got along well during the show's filming, and they really started seeing each other after the series ended in March.

Tamaki's acting career has been very busy lately, particularly with starring roles in movies such as "Manatsu no Orion," "MW," and the upcoming "Nodame Cantabile" movies. Meanwhile, Yoshitaka has been establishing herself as a rising star. She received multiple Best New Actress awards for her role in last year's "Snakes and Earrings," in which she appeared nude.

i don't know what to say..
there goes my dream of seeing Juri and Tamaki to be together for real..

^ Same! Ueno juri.... ):

You know, I always thought Tamaki would hook up with Karina from this drama considering they're both from Nagoya. Then again I knew he'd hook up with someone considering the good-looking cast.

wow. how dare ANY of you be sad he's not with the girl YOU want him to be with. you disgust me.

i hope they're happy. ♥

yes i dare to because it's my own opinion..if you were in my place im sure you'd feel the same..but of course, we fans have got nothing to do with their personal lives so it's just up to us to keep supporting and wish the best for them..
nevermind the rant, im just really taken aback by this sudden news, right when im on my Nodame Cantabile hype right now, especially after knowing that Juri and Tamaki were already in Europe filming..my fangirl self usually gets overboard, so if you're offended, there's nothing i can do about it..

Once upon a time, it used to be fun to be a fangirl/boy because one could goof around with other fangirls/boys over things like this, knowing full well the reality was we only wanted what made our favorites happy. After 18 pages of reading the Kame/Mr. Brain ratings war, I see this. WHY do so many people take everything so damn seriously nowadays? LIGHTEN UP. It's not like any of us are going to kidnap him, tie him up, and force a marriage on him. It's just an indication of how well matched Tamaki & Ueno were for Nodame Cantabile.

Calm the **** down, people are just having fun. It's obvious that people really liked the two together in NC and are just goofing around, wishful thinking type stuff.

Ueno & Juri are like KimuTaku & Matsu Takako or Jun & Mao
Everyone wanted their dream couple to end up together.
We don't always get what we want do we?

I find Tamaki x Yoshitaka really cute together.
Yay PANDA!
All the best for them ^^

So much word on this entire post. Especially the kame part. But lol ngl, it was super amusing. Nobody is cutting their wrists over this, so let's just chill out.

That aside, I think Tamaki is a guy who just happens to have a lot of good chemistry with a lot of different people. I think he (and his character) worked so well with ALL the cast of Love Shuffle, though to be honest I never ever would have guessed anything was kindling between him and Yoshitaka. Still, I adore them both and if they are serious, then that is great and I wish them both the best.

But in terms of co-star interactions, I'm sorry but nothing beats Ueno and Tamaki's combination. Can't wait for the two NC movies!
