<p>It was in early March that we discovered Marin Honda (22) and Masama Uno (26), who have been publicly announcing their relationship for some time, on a &#8220;hand-holding date.&#8217; The following is a recap of the details based on an article distributed on March 22, 2012.</p>
<figure id="attachment_370974" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-370974" style="width: 1815px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="#" data-ident_hash="21a2ef54"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/fridaydigital/image/private/t_article_image/wpmedia/2024/04/5f27f9ead0b56a0b1393a9446695237c.jpeg" alt=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-370974" class="wp-caption-text"> Marin was wearing a black down jacket and navy blue skinnies. Uno was dressed in a black down coat over a dotted white shirt and black pants.</figcaption></figure>
<p> After finishing &#8220;Faded,&#8221; the short program (SP) themed on the lights and shadows of her skating career, Marin Honda could not hold back her tears on the ice.</p>
<p> In the Women&#8217;s SP of &#8220;All-Japan Figure Skating Championships 2023&#8221; held on December 21 last year, a skater rushed to her after her last performance as an active skater, as she came back to the Mixed Zone in a state of emotion. It was Uno Masama, with whom she has been in a relationship for some time.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> As Uno approached Marin, the two skaters were on stage together. The world champion and the former world junior queen impressed the media and other people who were present with their &#8220;ice-melting love.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Uno, who was watching from the audience, said, &#8220;If I had watched it alone, I would have cried for sure. In January this year, Marin announced her retirement. She has become a professional skater and continues to perform in ice shows. In parallel, she has become a brand ambassador. Uno, on the other hand, is working hard to adjust for the World Championships, which will start on March 18 in Montreal, Canada,&#8221; said a reporter from a skating magazine.</span></p>
<p> Three months have passed since the day they proudly showed their two-shot in front of the media. This time, we found a ♡♡ scene of them in the city.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" Intertwining their fingers...where were they headed?"></div>
<p>It was an early March evening when FRIDAY spotted Marin and Uno walking proudly in one of Tokyo&#8217;s most prestigious celebrity towns. Though Marin was wearing a mask and a black cap pulled over her eyes, she had long arms and legs, and her style was evident.</p>
<p> With their fingers intertwined with each other&#8217;s, they headed for a popular chain of cafes that insists on domestic roasting.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> While Marin was saving a seat, Uno was taking her order, showing her &#8220;coordinated play. Uno brought a tray with two hot drinks and a cake on it, and they sat facing each other at a table for two.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> We shared the cake quietly, though there was little conversation and our eyes remained down on our phones. It showed the length of their relationship and the carefree nature of their relationship. Halfway through the conversation, Marin left the table, but Uno stayed for about 30 minutes,&#8221; said a customer who was in the restaurant.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Later, Uno met up with Marin, who was probably on her way home from shopping, outside the store, and they started walking hand in hand again.</p>
<p> After stopping at a high-end supermarket on the way to the store, they headed for a newly built condominium tower. As they approached the entrance, perhaps concerned about being seen, they let go of each other&#8217;s hands and Uno went in first. Then, a few seconds later, Marin entered the tower apartment. It seems that it is Uno, who is four years older than Marin, who is leading the relationship. After announcing her retirement, Marin confided in an interview, &#8220;I think [Uno] is the one who understands me the most.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Uno is the one who understands me the best. When I was having a hard time, he told me, &#8216;You can quit anytime. I think it was his kindness.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Uno is having a difficult season ahead of the World Championships, which he has won two consecutive times. At the NHK Trophy, the sixth round of this season&#8217;s Grand Prix series, he finished second after receiving a harsh &#8220;under-rotation&#8221; judge, and he commented, &#8220;I may withdraw from the competition at any moment.</p>
<p> However, Uno will be accompanied to Canada for the World Championships by a &#8220;strong helper. A reporter from the sports department of a national newspaper confided, &#8220;It&#8217;s Marin, of all people.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> It&#8217;s Marin, of all people. She is going to Canada because she has been appointed as a &#8220;World Figure Field Caster&#8221; by Fuji Television Network. Marin was also a reporter at the World Junior Championships held until March 3, and her interviews with the athletes have been highly acclaimed. She is able to meet the athletes on the rink on a daily basis, so it will be an environment where Uno will be able to show her strength.</span></p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" Shoma Uno is the current incumbent."></div>
<h3>The current incumbent is Shoma Uno.&#8221;</h3>
<p> Marin appeared on the March 11 broadcast of &#8220;Poka Poka&#8221; (Fuji TV). When asked who has the strongest metal in the figure skating world, she named Mao Asada (33),</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Even if the short program is not good, she gives a perfect performance in the free program,&#8221; he said.</span></p>
<p> Even if the short program is not good, she gives a perfect performance in the free skate,&#8221; he said. How about the current athletes? Asada&#8217;s performance at the Sochi Olympics in &#8217;14 impressed him,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He named his girlfriend, &#8220;Uno Shoma,&#8221; and said, &#8220;I&#8217;m in love with Uno.</span></p>
<p> He has been nervous in recent competitions,&#8221; she said,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I think it takes a lot of confidence in one&#8217;s experience, ability, practice, and the process up to that point to reach that level. I think it&#8217;s an extraordinary realm, so it&#8217;s amazing.&#8221;</span></p>
<p> He praised the match.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Then, at the World Championships held in Montreal on March 23, Uno placed 4th. Uno finished 4th, and did not win his third consecutive World Championships. Still,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I just didn&#8217;t mesh. It was not a sentimental performance, but a refreshing loss,&#8221; she said in an interview with a clear face.</span></p>
<p> Uno was interviewed with a clear expression on his face. Unfortunately, there were no two-shots of the two of them, although Marin was there to report on the event.</p>
<p> Marin, who graduated from Meiji University in March, became a regular bi-weekly commentator for &#8220;Suport! On April 19, she uploaded a photo on her Instagram page of herself in a cherry blossom-colored outfit under the cherry blossoms in full bloom. Uno responded to the post with a &#8220;like.</p>
<p> Marin is on a roll both publicly and privately.&#8221; Marin is on a roll both publicly and privately, and a &#8220;goal in the future&#8221; may not be too far off in the future.</p>
