The story
An article claiming to have exclusively photographed married couple Kamenashi Kazuya and Tanaka Minami walking their dog was published, drawing reactions on 5ch’s Geisports Sokuho+ (entertainment/sports news) thread. Many posters questioned the very framing of calling it a “scoop” when it’s just an already-married couple out for a walk, with comments like “they’re not even holding hands” and “that’s the same photo as a previous article” raising doubts about the report’s credibility. Still, some commenters shared impressions after simply looking at the photos, comparing outfits and builds.

What people said
They both just have bad proportions, that's why
Cracked up picturing him in Zenigata Heiji (his samurai-detective drama)
In the second photo it looks like she's taking a selfie
Now it makes sense why she never skipped the platform heels in public, even while pregnant
First off, they're not even holding hands, and this is an old photo and article from like last week or the week before?
Are they so out of material they've got nothing else to run? Pathetic
I wondered why a story I'd already seen was becoming a thread again, so I checked the site and found three separate articles
"We got the shot" (1 photo)
"The reason we almost didn't get the shot" (same 1 photo)
"5 whole photos!"
So that's the pattern they're running
This reeks of a staged photo they let themselves be caught in
The denim-on-denim doesn't even match shades, kinda tacky
Surprised me
His hands are in his pockets though?
Is this article fake?
"Flat-out"
"Wow"
Whoever's writing these must be some guy well past 60
Kamenashi's got a big frame and a long face, so he looks huge next to her
That's way too sloppy, and it's not even the same person!
Turns out Kamenashi's actually older
Tanaka Minami really does have that mature-woman vibe
Background and Key Points of This Topic
It’s become a common tactic on some entertainment news sites to stretch a single set of photos across multiple articles — “We got the shot,” “The reason we almost didn’t get the shot,” “X photos here!” — splitting traffic across several pages to rack up more hits. In this thread, posters who dug into why a story they’d already seen was resurfacing found the same material had indeed been split across multiple articles, confirming this is a genuinely common pattern. The unease at slapping the word “scoop” on photos of an already-married, cohabiting couple simply out for a walk is worth noting as an example of the gap between entertainment-news headlines and what’s actually being reported.
