It comes as no surprise to hear that the marriage of rock star Tamaki Koji (52) and Aota Noriko (43) is a tempestuous affair. The Anzen Chitai vocalist and the former C.C. Girls pinup idol drew a large crowd of passersby when they had a huge argument on the street during their recent trip to Guam, according to today’s issue of the “Shukan Josei” magazine. The couple, together with several work colleagues, were on vacation in mid-January when the incident happened. Locals and other tourists stopped to take photos when they realized that it was celebrities doing the very public shouting. The magazine reported that they are living separately, but management for the couple denied that. They said that Aota has spent time staying with friends, adding that it is simply to give space for Tamaki and his bandmates to work a lot from their home.
Tamaki and Aota are both outspoken personalities and neither of them match the Japanese stereotype of being shy about expressing their emotions. They were both divorcees when they tied the knot last July, and Tamaki in particular is known for his many and complicated romantic involvements.
