FLASH article outs voice actress Chihara Minori and violinist Muroya Koichiro of having an affair, Chihara responds on blog

“FLASH” has released an article that both singer/voice actress Chihara Minori (Nagato Yuki in “The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi”, Leon in “The IDOLM@STER”) and violinist Muroya Koichiro were in a relationship but broke up in 2016.

The problem is that Muroya is married man.

According to the article, Muroya has a wife which he married back in 2009 and has a child. But at the same time, he and Chihara had a six-year affair.

Muroya admitted to the magazine, “I don’t have any relationship with Chihara at present. I occasionally make contact with her as a friend. I met Chihara outside of work only to eat out.

Meanwhile, Chihara Minori posted on her LINE blog:

“In a weekly magazine released today, an article about me has been published.  I’m sure there are a lot of people who are uncomfortable and shocked, but I would like to explain the article and share my honest feelings as of now.  The content of that article is that over the last six years, violinist Muroya Koichiro and I have been dating each other.  The content is almost true.  Looking back, what I have done, no matter how much time has passed is obviously unacceptable.  I have feelings of deep remorse towards everyone in his family.  The picture in the photo is from the time I went to eat rice in February of this year.  Muroya is a really good colleague, good friend and has supported my music.  As for the other man, he is a close friend.  We are close in age, we talk about work, go out for a meal, helps me with my PC because I’m not familiar with my computer.  My home is a half workplace, so men and women are easily invited, but when I understand my profession and position, my behavior was careless”.

Chihara ended with “Once again, all the fans who have supported me and everyone involved.  Above all the family members involved in this matter, I am very sorry for the inconvenience”.
