<p>Ruri Miura, 44, is an international political scientist who has been completely absent from terrestrial television in recent years.&#8217; 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.&#8221; We look back on the details based on an article we distributed on August 1, 2012.</p>

<h2> The man they enjoyed fine sushi with is &#8230;&#8230;</h2>
<p> 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.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> 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.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> On July 11, 2012, a study group led by election planner Shinnosuke Fujikawa, 71, was being held in the hotel&#8217;s hall, and Mr. Miura was invited as a lecturer. It took almost half an hour to respond to the request.</span></p>
<p> Mr. Miura had just announced his divorce from Kiyoshi Miura, 45, a former businessman, in April 2012.</p>
<p> A reporter from the society section of a national newspaper said.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;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&#8217;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&#8217;s (90) birthday party earlier this year, she wore an all-white pants suit beautifully and wore a smile to the event.</span></p>
<p> 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.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" The two were not in a relationship. ......"></div>
<div></div>
<h2>Inquiries about their relationship are also available at &#8230;&#8230;</h2>
<p> The identity of the tall man who was working with Mr. Miura is revealed by a veteran secretary of an LDP lawmaker.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He is Ryuna Kanamura, 45, a member of the House of Representatives of The Japan Innovation Party, who was first elected to the House of Representatives in the &#8217;21 lower house election. Before becoming a member of the House, she was enthusiastic about welfare, running eight child welfare facilities, and is highly respected within the Restoration Association. He has been called the &#8220;Hope of the Next Generation.</span></p>
<p> The two did not come out of the restaurant even after the closing time was posted, and when they finally came out of the restaurant after 11:00 p.m., they looked at each other with smiles, and the atmosphere became even more intimate.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> When they reached the main street, Councilor Kanamura caught a cab and got in. However, Miura did not get in the taxi with him, and their &#8220;sushi date,&#8221; which lasted until late at night, came to an end.</p>
<p> What was the purpose of their meeting?</p>
<p> When we inquired at Mr. Kanamura&#8217;s office, he told us through his secretary that he would give us an answer by the deadline (three days later), but we never received an answer. We then rang the council member&#8217;s cell phone and sent him a short message, but received no response. A similar question was sent to Mr. Miura, but he also did not respond.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Mr. Miura said, &#8220;I heard that they stayed together until midnight, but I don&#8217;t think it was a relationship between a man and a woman. Mr. Kanamura is married and a father with three children. At the study session that day, during the question-and-answer period, he and Mr. Miura hit it off in an exchange about &#8220;pension reform. I think they may have changed places and continued the policy discussion.</span></p>
<p> On her SNS, Ms. Miura described her divorce as &#8220;graduation from married life. The smile she showed that day revealed the &#8220;freshness&#8221; of being free from her ex-husband&#8217;s scandals that had marred her illustrious career.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" In X, she bites on all sides."></div>
<h2>The serialization of the essay &#8220;Man and Woman&#8221; has not been well received on SNS: &#8230;&#8230;</h2>
<p> A few days after this magazine&#8217;s report, Ms. Miura began a series of essays &#8220;Between Man and Woman&#8221; on &#8220;WEB Za Television,&#8221; in which she questions the nature of &#8220;husband and wife.&#8221; In the first installment, &#8220;What Was the Marriage for? She describes in detail the distance she felt from her ex-husband there, the role of her mother that she felt in the home she grew up in, and her life without a man in the house.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> However, many critical words were seen on social networking sites, such as, &#8220;The story of a newly divorced person does not resonate at all,&#8221; and &#8220;Why do they write a simple story in a small and difficult way? The series continues to this day, and the 11th installment, &#8220;Seeking a Place to Stay,&#8221; was distributed on December 18.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In X, he complained about Emiko Uenuma (69) and the &#8220;Weekly Bunshun&#8221; for criticizing Governor Motohiko Saito (47), who was reelected as governor of Kobe. On December 16, 2012, he bashed a TV commentator who criticized Akie Abe (62) for her invitation to US President Trump. These are many voices of approval. It seems that he is ready to return to terrestrial broadcasting,&#8221; said a staff member of an information program.</span></p>
<p> It may be sooner than we think to see Miura, who has followed his own path, on terrestrial television again.</p>

 It was in July of '24 that I encountered the intimate scene between Ruri Miura, an international political scientist, and a young member of The Japan Innovation Party. He is currently writing a series of essays titled "Between Man and Woman," but what is the public reaction?
