<p> May J. married wild actor Shogen (45) on June 20, 2010. In an article distributed the same day, &#8220;FRIDAY Digital&#8221; reported on their meeting and their friendship along with a &#8220;pre-marital hand-tied date&#8221; photo. We would like to reproduce the article and look back on the &#8220;trajectory of happiness&#8221; (some corrections have been made).</p>
<h2> Perfectly matched from the very beginning of their relationship</h2>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I am pleased to announce that I have entered into a marriage contract with Mr. Shogen, an actor with whom I have been in a relationship for some time, on June 20, 2010, which is our mutual birthday.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> The couple is 10 years older than May J., who made her breakthrough with the theme song for the hit movie &#8220;Anna and the Snow Queen. Her partner is Shogen, a wild actor based in the U.S. who is 10 years older than May J. They have been together for about 9 years. After nine years of dating, they have finally made it to the goal.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> May J. is from an American school and her mother is from Iran. She is fluent in English and has a strong international sense. Her partner, Shogen, is also an internationalist who trained in New York to step up as an actor. The two were a perfect match from the moment they met.</span></p>
<p> In June 2002, soon after they started dating, &#8220;FRIDAY&#8221; caught the two on a date holding hands. We would like to introduce their path to marriage, along with photos that show their happiness.</p>

<p> On a night in June &#8217;14, May J. and Shogen were walking in Tokyo in a light rain. Holding hands without an umbrella, they made no pretense of caring about the rain. Perhaps it was a bit chilly, but when waiting at a traffic light, Shogen hugged May J. and rubbed her back. About two hours prior to this, the two friendly people had met up at &#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The restaurant is called &#8220;Origin Bento. The aura was overwhelming, and at first glance I felt that they were not ordinary people. The woman was full of transparency. The man was dressed wildly, with his long, unkempt hair and sandals,&#8221; said a customer who was there.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> The two bought some side dishes at a bento store. As they started walking with their umbrellas, May J. slipped her hand under Shogen&#8217;s right arm. May J. and Shogen then went to the gym to work out. Shogen was the one with whom she could be &#8220;just as she is.</p>
<p> Ten years after the start of their relationship and nine years after this magazine&#8217;s report, May J. and Shogen have been nurturing their love. We wish them a happy life with their new family.</p>
