<p>Takashi Hosokawa (73), a leading figure in the enka world who has attracted attention for his unique hairstyle and posts on his recently opened X (formerly Twitter), announced his remarriage on January 10 to a civilian woman 22 years younger than him. In fact, four hours before that, this magazine had hit them both directly.&#8217; The following is a review of the details based on the article distributed on January 19, 2012.</p>
<figure id="attachment_369386" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-369386" style="width: 2187px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="#" data-ident_hash="c5f076bd"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/fridaydigital/image/private/t_article_image/wpmedia/2024/04/a071b6b47c87861ae71b8efe1e116579.jpeg" alt=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-369386" class="wp-caption-text"> In mid-January &#8217;24, Hosokawa was leaving a concert venue after a concert in Nara Prefecture. In front of him is his companion, Ms. K!</figcaption></figure>
<p> In early January &#8217;24, a man dressed in an intensely priced and designed set-up (130,000 yen for the top and bottom) gets into a courtesy car, watched over by many staff members. He is Takashi Hosokawa, an enka (traditional Japanese ballad) singer, who is leaving a concert in Nara Prefecture with a fashion and hairstyle that are both too unique. He was accompanied by a woman who looked like Eimi Wakui.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"><span class="strong-in-content"> I wondered if they had been to Nara together. The woman who looks like Wakui is Mr. Hosokawa&#8217;s second marriage partner.</span></span></p>
<p> Mr. A, a political insider living in Chiba Prefecture, confided, &#8221;He started going to Nara with a local assemblyman around April of 2011. It is said that the rumor among the local assembly members started around April 2011.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"><span class="strong-in-content"> The reason is that the woman he is dating is Ms. K., who served four terms as a city councilor for a municipality in Chiba Prefecture until October 2011. She is currently the representative director of a company that deals in real estate. In fact, she has a history of managing Mr. Takashi Hosokawa since he was a city councilor. In 2006, Mr. Hosokawa lost his wife, who had been with him since before his debut, to illness. Since then, Mr. K started accompanying him to performances not only in big cities like Tokyo and Nagoya, but also in the provinces. Because of the sudden closeness, there were rumors that he and Mr. Hosokawa were having an &#8216;unusual relationship'&#8221; (Mr. A).</span></span></p>
<p> In fact, FRIDAY also witnessed Ms. K accompanying Hosokawa at her concerts many times in 2007. In its December 27, 2007 issue, it scooped the two in a friendly relationship.</p>

<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" Wherever we go in Japan, we are always together. "></div>
<p>For example, on November 21 of the same year, we found them enjoying themselves at a wagyu beef restaurant in Nagoya City, chatting happily as they pulled up to the luxury hotel where they were staying, looking very intimate. We also encountered Hosokawa entering a house in Chiba Prefecture where Mr. K lives in a mansion said to be 2,000 tsubo in size in the same prefecture.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"><span class="strong-in-content"> When they left the hotel for the concert venue, Mr. K got into a car driven by Hosokawa&#8217;s valet and entered the backstage area. After the concert, they went out for dinner and returned to the hotel together. They were always together wherever they went in Japan,&#8221; said a music industry insider.</span></span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> At the time, when FRIDAY asked Ms. K directly if she was dating Hosokawa, she denied that she was dating, saying, &#8220;I am just managing (Hosokawa). Five years have passed since then, and Hosokawa has finally decided to remarry at a mature age.</p>
<p> On January 10, 2012, we directly interviewed Hosokawa after a concert in Nara, Japan.</p>
<p> I asked him, &#8220;Did you get married to Mr.&#8211;K?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"><span class="strong-in-content"> Thank you for &#8230;&#8230;.</span></span></p>
<p> When did you get married?　The staff member accompanying him answered, &#8220;I can&#8217;t answer that question,&#8221; but four hours later, Hosokawa announced through his office that he had entered the registry last June.</p>
<p> A check of the register of the company of which Ms. K is the representative showed that her surname had been changed from her maiden name to &#8220;Hosokawa&#8221; as of June 5, Reiwa 2023.</p>

<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" X (old Twitter) is a big hit with the 73-year-old enka singer."></div>
<h3>X (formerly known as Twitter), where his witty posts have been well received.</h3>
<p> On January 12, the day after we reported their marriage, Hosokawa gave an interview to &#8220;Nikkan Sports&#8221; before the start of the &#8220;Hosokawa Ichimon: New Year&#8217;s Concert&#8221; held at &#8220;Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall&#8221; (Chuo-ku, Tokyo)! New Year&#8217;s Concert&#8221; held at Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall (Chuo Ward, Tokyo), Hosokawa gave an interview to &#8220;Nikkan Sports&#8221; before the concert started,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He said, &#8220;I am 73 years old, and it is important for me to have a healthy diet and a wife who is by my side.</span></p>
<p> I want to sing for at least another 20 years,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I want to sing for at least another 20 years. I often travel around the countryside, so it&#8217;s important to have a companion by my side.</span></p>
<p> Many congratulatory messages were posted on social networking sites, but Hosokawa&#8217;s strong visual appeal was not as familiar as it might seem,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> It&#8217;s amazing that he continues to make such an impact that I can&#8217;t get used to seeing him no matter how many times I see him.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;His hair and fashion are so amazing that I honestly can&#8217;t get into the article.</span></p>
<p> The hair and fashion are so amazing that I honestly can&#8217;t get into the article. A few days later, on January 18, Hosokawa opened X (formerly Twitter). She posted a photo of herself wearing a skull-patterned vest of the same brand over the &#8220;MARK&amp;LONA&#8221; set-up she was wearing when the article appeared in the magazine, and added the witty comment, &#8220;I have a vest, too.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He continued, &#8220;After that, I watched Hosokawa on TV with my head down.</span><span class="strongInContent"> She continued to post punny posts, such as going out of her way to visit a seaweed store where she had posted a picture of her cat watching Hosokawa over her head on social media, showing a two-shot picture of her and the cat, and putting her own miniatures side by side in a photo together. Currently, the number of registered users is just over 30,000 (as of April 27), but the number is still increasing,&#8221; said an advertising agency official.</span></p>
<p> Hosokawa is 73 years old. Having found a companion with whom he can spend the rest of his life, Hosokawa&#8217;s momentum is only increasing.</p>
