Former AKB48 idol Minami Takahashi may well be 25 years old and no longer tied to the group’s (fake and probably illegal) rules against dating.
But that hasn’t stopped the outrage when she was spotted out on a date with an employee of an IT company, who is 15 years her senior.
She graduated AKB48 in April on her 25th birthday. Perhaps the reason she actually left was she couldn’t wait to enjoy herself with her squeeze?
They were photographed enjoyed a date in central Tokyo late one night in mid-May, heading to Minami’s condo, where they confined themselves for two days.
Fortunately for us, the tabloids were patiently waiting and later snapped the couple leaving for dinner.
See Exhibit A below.
The fashionable 40-year-old has money, it seems, and has known Takamina for 10 years ever since she was still a junior high school student and had just made her debut.
Now, are we really expected to believe the two of them waited all this time until after her graduation to start dating?
Could you wait 10 years to touch this?
Remember, Takamina’s 44-year-old mother was arrested in 2012 on suspicion of having sex with a 15-year-old boy… so perhaps kinky spirit is in her genes. Unlike her mother, though, Takamina’s tastes seem to skewer older.
