24 Years of Hot Scoops: "After That Hot Scoop" by Masama Uno and Marin Honda
Uno Masama (27) and Honda Marin (23), professional skaters who retired last May, appeared together for the first time in a variety show on “Nepu League SP” (Fuji TV) broadcast on December 16, 2012. Since then, they have been reported to be on good terms with each other. This magazine also reported on their date. Let’s look back at the details based on the article distributed on March 22 last year.

A love so hot it melts the ice
After finishing “Faded,” 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.
On December 21, 2011, at “All-Japan Figure Skating Championships 2023” Women’s SP, after her last performance as an active skater, an emotional Marin came back to the Mixed Zone, and a skater rushed to her. Marin, who has been in a relationship for a long time, ran up to her. It was Uno Masama, with whom Marin has been in a relationship for a while.
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 “ice-meltingly passionate love.
Uno, who was watching from the audience, said, “If I had watched it alone, I would have cried for sure. In January of 2012, Marin announced her retirement. She became a professional skater and continued to perform in ice shows. In parallel, she has become a brand ambassador. Uno, on the other hand, was working hard to prepare for the World Championships, which will start on March 18, 2012, in Montreal, Canada.
Three months have passed since that day when they proudly showed their two-shot in front of the media. This time, we found a handsome scene of the two of them in the city.
It was an evening in early March 2012 when FRIDAY spotted Marin and Uno walking proudly in one of the most prestigious celebrity towns in Tokyo. Although Marin was wearing a mask and a black cap pulled down over her eyes, she had long arms and legs, and her style was evident.
With their fingers intertwined with each other’s, they were headed for a popular chain of cafes that insists on domestic roasting.
