Anzen Chitai gets another groupie for the road: Noriko Aota

TOKYO —

Anzen Chitai rocker Koji Tamaki, 51, will be bringing along girlfriend Noriko Aota, 42, on the band’s national tour that starts Saturday at the Yokosuka Arts Theatre.

Aota, who announced on her blog last month that she would be taking a break from her work, posted a message this week saying she has secretly been preparing for the concerts, and that “Tamaki-san is normally really funny, but as soon as it comes to music, he becomes incredibly serious. I feel honored to be loved by someone like that.”

She then announced, “I’m going to head out on tour to support him as much as I can.”

    Harmony, love, and sacrifice drive two souls into the music world. They will make their life more sounds and images by their happiness. Tamaki-san has warm and romantic voices, now more supports from his girlfriend, Aota-san. Congratulation!

    How does one secretly prepare to attend a concert?

    By watching MTV Japan 24/7 at home, drinking a lot and standing up the entire time waving your hands. Come dude, everyone knows this!

    Darren and tranel -- you're right. More technically correct would be "gropie" rather than groupie.

    Yea.... its called too much tetracycline (antibiotics for a sniffle) as a kid, no fluoride, drinking coffee and smoking cigs..... I used to freak out in the morning as a young guy. Big boobs and a pretty face only go so far...

    You mean the AKB48 style? My system is still refusing to asimilate this.

    I agree with Darren above. It's very disrespectfutl to call this beautiful woman a groupie.

    Ummm, I would bet she is going on tour with him more to "watch" him rather than "support" him. Lot of cute and bubbly temptations in this country and I don't mean Champagne!

    Tim - you're not wrong. Those temptations are called groupies. This very beautiful lady should not have her good name besmirched by the writer of this scurrilous title.

    Pretty good looking for 42. Loved her on the "london boots" show.

    Her facial expression looks like:

    "Please marry me, although I am past my expiry date."

    "Please marry me, although I am past my expiry date."

    hahaha, well said, I am sure that the JT guys here will go for it and they are ready to marry her. Their mind does not discriminate...Male brain is always past expiration date.

    Looks like you need some support yourself, honey. Not that I'm complaining.

    ITA. Someone should pull her aside and tell her the hidden connotations of the word ****groupie****.

    Wow!!! a bunch of crazy fans is crowding here!!! Just kidding. Anyone needs a coke? Summer is around. If you like learning Japanese-English words, you may ask a "sensei", if you like dancing free, you may ask HK mode? Japanese people usually use English differently than English people do. I guess so. If you are 18, she is old enough to be your M. otherwise, your sister!!!

    Not sure what LoveUSA meant by that, but for a 42-year-old, Aota-chan is holding up very well. Speaking as a divorced 50-year-old, Aota-chan is most certainly not "past her expiry".

    And yeah, she's tagging along to make sure the REAL groupies don't "get a leg up" on her, so to speak.

    I meant when men see a woman their hormones make them brainless. also, they drool over the woman but at the same time start insulting her age, or beauty. It is a paradox.
