Sho Sakurai, Aoi & Yamazato, Yua Shinkawa…celebrities’ “Happy Two-Shot & Bare Faces” photos after the birth of their first child.
I am renewing my commitment to face this life so small that it can fit in my arms.
On February 15, Sho Sakurai (41) of “Arashi” announced the birth of his first child through his Johnny’s office. Sakurai announced his marriage in September 2009 to a woman he met in college. It was a surprise announcement with Masaki Aiba.
Sakurai is the third member of “Arashi” to have a child, following Kazuya Ninomiya and Aiba. Mr. Sakurai is currently extremely busy as an anchor for Nippon TV’s news program “news zero” and also plays the lead role in the drama “Daihyoin Sukyo (Occupation of the Great Hospital)” (Nippon TV). From now on, she will be balancing work and childcare.
(A source at an entertainment production company) “After pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare leave, she is back on the scene. There has been a series of happy news in the entertainment industry. FRIDAY” often catches up with celebrities on their happy occasions. We would like you to take a look at their happy and fulfilling lives.
A pure white wedding in the middle of the city center
I’m very excited to be working on a news program for the first time in a year.
NHK’s Mayuko Wakuda, 34, made the comment on February 8. After giving birth to her first child, she left “News Watch 9” in April last year. After completing her childcare leave, it was decided that she would return to “News 7” this April.
It was in August 2007 that she held her wedding ceremony. Let us look back at the glamorous scene as witnessed by this magazine.
On August 31, just after 10 p.m., in front of a large commercial building in Nihonbashi, in the center of Tokyo, there was Anna Wakuda, dressed in a white wedding dress.
On that day, Anna Wakuda held her wedding ceremony at a luxury hotel in Chiyoda Ward. The reception ended in the evening, and the after-party was held at a bar lounge in Nihonbashi. Not only at the reception, but also at the after-party, Anna Wakuda showed off her wedding dress. It was designed with an open back, and everyone in attendance exclaimed, “It’s so beautiful! (Wakuda’s acquaintance).
Wakuda has not publicly announced her marriage, but it is said that she entered the registry in February of the same year. Her partner was described as a “civilian,” but he was a well-known figure in the track and field world.
He is a star athlete in Waseda University’s track and field team. He is one of the most handsome men in the world of ekiden, and contributed to Waseda University’s victory in the 2011 Hakone Ekiden (relay race) in a dead heat with Ryuji Kashiwabara of Toyo University, the “God of the Mountain. After graduating from university, he joined one of the five major trading companies. He met Anna Wakuda through a friend after he entered the workforce.
With the addition of new members to their families, entertainers and female TV announcers are busy with work and child-rearing. It seems that their lives are becoming more fulfilling by the day.
