His relationship with Fujimon and the possibility of his return to show business.

As she welcomed changes in both her personal and professional life, what does Kinoshita think now? After finishing her shopping at the supermarket, she was approached. Dressed casually in white sweatpants and a matching top, her sweater was slipping off her shoulder. “I really don’t like this look!” she said with an embarrassed smile, reflecting on her current life, and she also shared her thoughts about her relationship with her boyfriend.

—Is your relationship with Sanko going well?

“Yeah, we’re doing our best (laughs).”

—I’ve heard you’re living together; do you have any plans for marriage?

“Not at all. I’ll let you know if I change my mind. I don’t think it will happen for a while.”

—How’s your relationship with Fujimon?

“It’s the same as always. I still leave the kids with him sometimes. We often communicate on LINE.”

Kinoshita continued to respond brightly to the reporter’s questions. Regarding Fujimon’s return to entertainment activities, she revealed, “The girls are also happy about it.”

When asked about her own potential return to the entertainment industry, she calmly began to share her true feelings.

—Are you considering a full-fledged return to terrestrial broadcasting?

“I think it’s quite difficult.”

—Don’t you have the desire to come back?

“Well, I feel like I’m okay with it for now. I’d like to if I could be the kind of character who can say what I want, like before. But times have changed, right? So maybe it doesn’t fit the current needs (laughs).”

—Are you happier with your current situation?

“Today, the kids told me they wanted gyudon for dinner, so I went and bought the ingredients. I’m able to spend time for the kids. So, I think I feel the happiest right now.”

As she was leaving, Kinoshita showed concern, saying,

“I’m sorry, I don’t have any interesting stories (laughs).” 

It seems she is savoring her happiness without being swayed by the voices around her.
