Veteran entertainment reporter asserts that Ryoko Hirosue, who “lives up to her own desires,” will not “end up” with this affair.
Entertainment reporter Toshio Ishikawa's "Behind the Scenes" of the entertainment industry: ......
Toshio Ishikawa, entertainment reporter, explains what’s going on behind the scenes in the entertainment industry: ……
There is a saying, “He who runs after two hares will catch neither.
But the way of life of Ryoko Hirosue, a popular actress, is like this: “Only those who chase two hares can catch two hares.
But the way Ryoko Hirosue, a popular actress, lives her life is like this: “He who runs after two hares will get two hares.
I was told by a person in the entertainment industry that Ryoko Hirosue, a popular actress, lives her life in the way that “only those who chase two hares can catch two hares.
She lives true to her own desires. …… That is the way of life, according to one person involved in the entertainment industry.
I have the impression that, like singer Seiko Matsuda, she is resistant to scandal and has made her way through the entertainment world by being a positive force. I thought she was a strong and attractive entertainer who “would not be defeated no matter what.
But will her way of life change now that she is reported to have had a “double affair”?
For the past few years, Ms. Hirosue has been focusing more on her role as a mother of three, and has lost all her romantic stories and innocent charm. In a direct interview with the Weekly Bunshun, she said, “I am not having an affair.
I’m not having an affair.
I have three children!
She had three children!
Shusaku Toba, the owner of a Michelin-starred restaurant and a chef three years her senior who also appears on TV, also denied it.
However, the office of Mr. Hirosue said
We are leaving her private life to her own hands. I have given him a stern warning to act responsibly.
He responded to the media, “I have given him a stern warning to behave responsibly. He did not outright deny the affair.
Moreover, Candle artist Candle Jun, to whom Ms. Hirosue is remarried, said at an event
Candle Jun, who is married to Hirosue, said at the event, “My own family is going through a difficult time right now, but I will make a firm decision after this, so please look forward to it.
He even went so far as to say that his 19-year-old eldest son is taking care of his two siblings.
After that, Jun tried to get into Toba’s store, but was unable to meet with her because the store was closed.
As reported in some of the weekly magazines, my relationship with Mr. Toba is as described in the article.”
In a handwritten document, Ms. Hirosue confessed that she and Mr. Toba had been having an affair. Mr. Toba also said
When the news first came out, I lied and said that we were not having an affair. When I answered a phone call from an unknown number, I was asked a question that was exactly as it appeared in the article, and I gave an answer that was not true.
I was asked questions that were not true,” he said.
I will do my best to make amends to the family.
I will do my best to make amends to my family,” he apologized.
In a love letter in an “exchange diary” published in the “Shukan Bunshun” magazine on the 15th, Hirosue wrote
Thank you so much. I love you ♡♡♡”.
In her love diary, which was published in the “Shukan Bunshun” magazine on January 15, Hirosue wrote
I just love you and I love you…
The two of them had no way to escape from the fact that what they had written together was going to appear in the public domain.
The two of them, with staff members and others involved, had been trying to keep their love affair hidden from the public. Now that it has come to the surface, four commercials have disappeared and a planned movie has been cancelled.
Last year, Ms. Hirosue won the “Best Mother Award,” and as the mother of three children, she also stopped writing her essay series “Everyday is a Mom of Three Brothers and an Actress. Her office announced “indefinite house arrest,” but the affair has cost her dearly.
Well, her husband Candle seems to be feeling very mad. Divorce may be inevitable.
Still, it would not be like Ms. Hirosue if the end of the affair was the “end” of her entertainment life. Even if she had committed adultery, people would not stop wanting to see her.
I am sure that no matter what happens to her, she will survive in the entertainment industry and show us a new Ryoko Hirosue, an actress who “lives true to her desires.
