Kimura Takuya’s Fans Anxiously Await Kudo Shizuka Collaboration

“Former NTV announcer Rina Sasazaki, who married KAT-TUN’s Yuichi Nakamaru, seems to be someone who wants to be in the spotlight, restarting her Instagram after deleting it once and writing a column in a women’s magazine. Nakamaru himself continues to maintain his awareness as an idol. On the other hand, Miho Uno from AAA, who married NEWS’s Keiichiro Koyama, has chosen to stay silent after a major public uproar right after their marriage.

Similarly, Shigeaki Kato from NEWS is married to a non-celebrity, so I don’t expect his wife to share private information publicly. In other words, it’s only the Kimura family that actively shares their private life. We know Kimura has long been a fan of Shizuka and perhaps doesn’t mind being guided by his older wife. But fans just can’t warm up to seeing Shizuka occasionally peeking out on Instagram.” (broadcaster)

However, despite this, with his income reportedly halving this year due to the lack of commercial appearances, Kimura cannot afford to let YouTube fail.

“It’s inevitable that he’ll need Shizuka’s influence to increase YouTube subscribers and views.”

This statement comes from an operator of a video-centric website.

“Shizuka, known as a producer for her daughters, wouldn’t overlook her husband’s situation. It’s said that it’s only a matter of time before she collaborates with Kimura on his YouTube channel under the theme of ‘family collaboration.’ Certainly, among longtime fans, there are some who criticize the concept of family business.

However, it’s undeniable that both subscriber numbers and view counts would certainly increase. Knowing this, there’s no other choice. STARTO Entertainment prides itself on artist-driven freedom, so there shouldn’t be any issues from the agency’s side. If they continue this path, I believe featuring the family is essential.”

Amid the rising concerns of fans, it seems we might hear Shizuka’s laughter echoing.
