Over a month since Atsuko Maeda (22) and kabuki actor Matsuya Onoe's (28) relationship was made public, people have been closely monitoring the outcome of this big couple's romance.
As both parties maintain their silence, we went to the first day of Onoe's stage play held last November 1. As we made our way into the staff entrance of the venue for the play Meijiza Juiichigatsu Hanagata Kabuki, we spotted a delicate woman wearing a white kimono, looking for him. This was his mother, Morie Kawai (57).
"Matsuya Mama" was also known as a shinpa actress. According to related personnel, she has been seen numerous times in the venues in order to attend to the people who come to the dressing rooms to greet her son. Matsuya Mama was initially surprised with our sudden interview, but answered our questions calmly.
