Ruri Miura and Japan Restoration Association Hope Enjoy High-Class Sushi Together in “After” the “Couple” Essay Series

Ruri Miura, 44, is an international political scientist who has been completely absent from terrestrial television in recent years.’ In April 2012, she divorced her husband, a former businessman who was arrested and detained on charges of embezzlement in the course of his duties. Three months later, this magazine came across an intimate scene between Ms. Miura and a young lawmaker belonging to The Japan Innovation Party.” We look back on the details based on an article we distributed on August 1, 2012.

The man they enjoyed fine sushi with is ……

A boutique hotel located near the Imperial Palace and Hanzomon Gate. Around 9:00 p.m., as night began to fall, a woman stylishly dressed in a navy blue one-piece dress emerged from the entrance. Next to her is a tall, middle-aged man in a suit.

The two, who seemed to be in a friendly mood, smiling repeatedly as they talked, got into a cab that they seemed to have called via an app. Sinking into the back seat was Rurei Miura, an international political scientist.

On July 11, 2012, a study group led by election planner Shinnosuke Fujikawa, 71, was being held in the hotel’s hall, and Mr. Miura was invited as a lecturer. It took almost half an hour to respond to the request.

Mr. Miura had just announced his divorce from Kiyoshi Miura, 45, a former businessman, in April 2012.

A reporter from the society section of a national newspaper said.

“The divorce took place while Mr. Kiyoshi was under arrest and detention by the Special Investigation Department on charges of embezzlement in the course of his duties. After Kiyoshi’s arrest in March 2011, Rurei disappeared from television, dropping all of her regular appearances on terrestrial programs. However, she seems to be in a good mood these days, perhaps because her speaking engagements are going well. At journalist Soichiro Tahara’s (90) birthday party earlier this year, she wore an all-white pants suit beautifully and wore a smile to the event.

Let us return to the beginning of the story. The cab carrying the two was headed for Nishiazabu, Minato-ku. After getting out of the car, they entered a high-class sushi restaurant with a reputation for nigiri made with home-brewed salt.
