A relationship with a single mom isn’t easy. The media reported that singer Namie Amuro, 32, and comedian Atsushi Tamura, 36, of London Boots spent a week together in Arizona. Entertainment reporters are watching Amuro’s condominium 24/7, forcing the singer to constantly change hotels and stay at friends’ homes with her 11-year-old son.
According to an insider acquainted with the singer, “Namie is deeply concerned about the wellbeing of her son. He’s very introverted and it takes a while for the boy to get used to his mother’s closest staff. He’s also at a difficult age. He hasn’t been able to go home and his mother’s gone on a trip with a man. She’s worried that these circumstances are affecting him.”
For Namuro, whose own mother passed away years ago, the 11-year-old boy is the only family she has after her divorce. The tattoo on her left arm of her son’s name shows she is a doting mother. So how is Tamura, known as a playboy, coping in this relationship?
A friend of Tamura explains, “Atsushi is known as a good cook – he even hosts a TV cooking program. He’s been preparing the kind of dishes that children love, like hamburgers, desserts and just about anything. His home cooking for Amuro’s son seems to be making a difference. It appears the boy is starting to warm up to him.”
Entertainment reporter Masaru Nashimoto comments, “Tamura confirmed the possibility of marriage at the press conference after he returned from the trip… He’s probably made his mind up about Amuro, and the rest depends upon the singer’s decision in consideration of her son.”
It is conceivable that the two will tie the knot in the not too distant future.

how does this make her a bad mother? parents need breaks from kids just as much as they need breaks from us. @ aizoyurei just because some of her lyrics are provactive doesn't mean she is a horrible mother. lots of singers with kids sing dirty songs. wats ur comeback?

That dude is hideous and his band is ridiculous. Amuro chose a real winner but she herself is a REAL superstar mother. If she was so worried about her son maybe her lyrics in her songs might change up a bit. let's see here:
"It's deeper, sweeter, do me more."
"I am oochie, la la poppin' coochie"
Yeah, OUTSTANDING mother

This is Japan, it is a lot easier than you think. It was one of the reason so many Caucasian men used to flock here in the 90s.

LOL..."The tattoo on her left arm of her son’s name shows she is a doting mother"........what a ridiculous comment. "He (the son) hasn’t been able to go home and his mother’s gone on a trip with a man".....WOW what a doting mother!!!!!!!!

I didn't know Moms were getting "children" tatoos. As long as the child doesn't ask for a divorce it should be ok.

Poor kid...Tamura has 400 teeth, not women.

Considering Tamura claims he's nailed over 400 women, I don't think anyone's assuming marriage just yet.

I like Amuro but honestly, who can blame the kid? He's been back and forth between the parents and moving houses can't be good. Why not face the media and live at home which would be the best option?
As for marriage, the boots dingbat said for himself it was faaaaar too early to talk about that. This is the problem with Japan - you date and it is assumed you MUST get married. No wonder there are so many unhappy marriages here. Heaven forbid someone date a few folks before deciding.

If she's so worried about her son's wellbeing then why the hell did she leave him and go on a trip to Arizona for a week? This kid is going to be #$$#ed when he grows up.

Forgot she had a son. What does he look like?
