Sairi Ito: It’s been two and a half years since the two-shot shooting… “marriage report” after overcoming the “two-timing” allegations of a scriptwriter 18 years older than her.

Actress Sairi Ito (30), who played a major role as the host of NHK’s “Kohaku Uta Gassen” (Red and White Singing Contest), was happily reported to be married on the first day of the year 2013.

This magazine reported Sairi Ito’s first romance in April 2010. What surprised the public even more was the 18-year age difference between Sari and her partner, screenwriter Horai Ryuta (48).

Ito and Horai came close to each other in 2009 when Ito played the heroine in “The Decapitated Prince and the Foolish Woman,” a play written and directed by Horai. The January 1 Sports Nippon reported that the two had told people around them that they had decided to get married within the year.

On an evening in early April 2010, Friday found the two in a downtown area of Shibuya Ward crowded with businessmen after work. Sairi Ito was wearing a navy cap and a loose-fitting shirt. A dandy man with white hair who was chatting with her in a friendly manner was Mr. Horai.

Mr. Hourai made a strong approach to her and they started dating,” said an acquaintance of Ito.

The group entered a reasonably priced sushi restaurant, enjoyed their meal for about two hours, and left.

The group enjoyed their meal for about two hours and left the restaurant!

The interview team directly interviewed the two, who were on their way home at the time, and found out that they had been together for about two hours.

–Sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s Friday.

Ito: “Er, seriously, seriously. So this is what it’s like (laughter). I’m so surprised!”

–Is it true that you two are dating?

Ito: “What? Why⁉hahaha. (while looking at Hourai) What should I say?

Hourai “I guess so.

–Ito: “No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Ito “No, no, no~ (laughing)”

–You live together, don’t you?

Hourai “How can I say such a thing ……”

Ito “I don’t know how to say that~”

Horai “It’s difficult.

Ito: “It’s a difficult part, and (blowing out laughter). （Ito: “It’s a difficult part, and (blowing out a laugh)! When you’re saying you’re great, you’re already ……. It’s not that I have to hide it because I’m not an idol, but it’s difficult to say something like that, isn’t it? It’s not that I have to hide it, but it’s difficult for me to say what my manager wants to do. The vision I have for myself and the vision my manager has for me are different.

–So you two have a close relationship?

Horai “Yes, we do.

Ito: “That’s the one I hear a lot about (laughs). After all, that’s where entertainers land, isn’t it? In that case, is it better to be just “friendly”?　Because “We are friends” is already a lie. (Looking at Hourai) Tell him we are friends (laughs).

(laughs) — Did you get close to each other suddenly at the dance that Mr. Horai worked on in June ’21?

Horai “No, it wasn’t like that at all at that time.

Ito: “I was just an ordinary director at that time (laughs).

Ito “At that time, he was just an ordinary director (laughs)” –Thank you for answering quite a few questions.

Horai “It’s better not to talk too much, isn’t it?”

Ito “Oh, I see! (laugh)”

(Laughter) –You talked enough.

Ito “Hahaha. I can write enough (articles) (laughs). I’m glad.

–The two of you are talking and caring for each other, aren’t you?

Horai “Yes, I think her work is the most important thing.

–Thank you very much!

Ito: “Sorry. It’s cold. Thank you very much. Thank you for your hard work.”

Ito looked Hourai in the eye and discussed the answer to the question, trying to answer in his own words. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, with both parties taking care of each other. After the direct interview, Ito said

I’m sorry, it’s cold out here. Thank you. Thank you for your hard work.

He bowed deeply and left.

The reporter felt that he understood why Ito was loved by the reporter.
