Former BE:FIRST member and actor Ryoki Miyama is facing fresh controversy after reports claimed he added unscripted kiss scenes with his co-star Maria Kano amid allegations of an affair.
According to Japanese outlet Shukan Bunshun, Miyama (who is married to actress Shuri) allegedly became involved with Kano while the two were appearing together in the stage production of Crash Landing On You.

The report claimed that when Miyama and Kano first began working together, they had agreed there would be no physical contact between them. However, the two allegedly later broke that agreement, and Miyama reportedly created kiss scenes that were not included in the original script.
The controversy has drawn even more attention because Miyama allegedly had strict rules regarding his wife’s acting projects.
Reports claimed that when Shuri appeared in productions, the couple had agreed that “kiss scenes and intimate scenes were absolutely not allowed.”
The stage production featuring Miyama and Kano reportedly includes two kiss scenes. With 10 performances remaining after the Tokyo shows from July 23 and the Osaka performances from July 31 to August 2, the two are expected to perform the unscripted kiss scenes around 20 more times.
Maria Kano issued an apology via her agency after the news broke.
