<p> Some sports papers have recently reported that Reiko Takashima (59) has been making a splash in variety shows, and she has certainly been seen more often in non-acting situations. In addition, her official Instagram page, which she started two years ago, does not contain any interesting posts, but it offers a glimpse into her casual daily life, such as enjoying holidays with work colleagues and visiting popular sweets stores, and the number of followers has been steadily increasing.</p>
<p> There are rumors that Takashima is getting back together with her ex-husband Noboru Takachi (58).</p>

<p><strong> Takashima and her ex-husband, Toshio Kochi (58), are rumored to be back together. &#8220;They are indeed a &#8216;loving couple,'&#8221; says Takashima, &#8220;and they were so close that they described each other as &#8216;like comrades. Recently, Kochi&#8217;s activities have been going well, and there are rumors that they are getting back together.</strong></p>
<p> Takashima was a late bloomer at the age of 25 when she made her acting debut after being &#8220;scouted&#8221; by Ken Matsudaira, who drew attention with a commercial for &#8220;Travaille,&#8221; an information magazine dealing with women&#8217;s job-hunting and career change information. In 1999, at the age of 34, she married Kochi.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><strong> Takashima, who became the fourth leading actress in the hit series &#8220;Gokudo no Tsumetachi&#8221; (Wives of the Gokudo), the 11th film of which was released that year, had already become a popular actress, so I was surprised to hear that she married Kochi, who was considered a lower-ranked actress. And since Mr. Kochi had a lot of bad press, many fans, including those in the industry, were disappointed.</strong></p>
<p> Nevertheless, things were going well after the marriage, but in 2003, Kochi left her agency and retired from the entertainment industry. The reason was to care for Takashima&#8217;s father, who was suffering from Parkinson&#8217;s disease. However, in June of the following year, he was arrested for violating the Stimulants Control Law and the Cannabis Control Law (possession) and sentenced to two years in prison and a four-year suspended sentence. Naturally, public attention focused on whether the couple would divorce.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" Takashima&#39;s &quot;absolutely unforgivable&quot; incident at the scene of his arrest."></div>
<p><strong>Takashima-san called Kochi-san a &#8220;comrade,&#8221; and it was clear that they were not only good friends, but also had a strong bond with each other. Therefore, it was widely believed that there would be no divorce, and according to what we have heard, Mr. Takashima has no intention of getting a divorce.</strong></p>
<p><strong> However, some people began to say, &#8220;It&#8217;s strange for a couple who get along so well not to notice,&#8221; &#8220;She must have known,&#8221; &#8220;She must be doing it, too,&#8221; etc., and it became impossible to avoid damaging their image if they stayed together. People around them recommended divorce, and at the same time, Mr. Kochi asked for a divorce.</strong></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Seven years have passed since then. Seven years later, Kochi resumed his entertainment activities. At the same time, he has become certified as an &#8220;ASK Addiction Prevention Education Advisor&#8221; and has been giving lectures at drug addiction awareness and prevention education events. His autobiographical novel &#8220;Doryu,&#8221; published this year, has also become a topic of conversation, and his activities are attracting attention.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><strong> She says, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s an outside assumption that if people see their ex-husbands, who they didn&#8217;t leave because they wanted to leave, rehabilitated and active, they will probably want to &#8216;get back into their shells. In addition, due in part to the influence of the movie, the public has created an image of Ms. Takashima as a &#8220;big sister. It seems that there is a considerable amount of self-serving assumption that he will forgive Mr. Kochi and give him a boost.</strong></p>
<p><strong> However, remember the situation when Mr. Kochi was arrested. He was with his mistress, a hostess, at a hotel. I heard that not only drugs, but also that Ms. Takashima felt strongly that her husband had betrayed her. She said that was more unforgivable. Also, Mr. Kochi&#8217;s arrest had a considerable impact on her work. We cannot dismiss the risk that getting back together with Mr. Takashima would damage our image. People around them will definitely oppose it.</strong></p>
<p> Takashima, who has changed his character and taken on the challenge of entering a new field after turning 60, is not likely to take such a risk.</p>
<p> It seems that Takashima will not cause his fans, who were disappointed by his marriage, to be sad again.</p>
