The idol debuted in 2002 and is the keyboard player in the group, but also does other entertainer roles like many idols.
According to the tweet, the photos were taken as the two were leaving from Haneda in June and July. The identity of the woman is concealed, presumably because she is not a celebrity.
It sparked major reactions from netizens as SUPER EIGHT is a very famous group in Japan, debuting back in 2002.
