One star after another made their appearance!

Around 3 p.m. on a weekend in mid-June, well-known figures from various fields gathered at a grand banquet hall in a luxury hotel in central Tokyo.

In addition to the stars shown in photos, key members of the Japan national football team—including Junya Ito (32), Takumi Minamino (30), Kaoru Mitoma (28), and Takefusa Kubo (24)—were seen making their way into the hall one after another. The event was a triumphant wedding reception for the ace of the Moriyasu Japan squad, Ritsu Doan (27).

“Doan married influencer Miku Akematsu (29) in January last year, and they announced it via social media in June of the same year. The couple held their wedding reception on this day, with many of Doan’s national team teammates in attendance.

Actor Shun Oguri (42) and comedian Sanma Akashiya (69) are both known football fans and reportedly have a close friendship with the couple,” explained a football writer.

In Germany, attention is focused on his next transfer destination.

His private life appears to be going smoothly, but in Germany—his main battleground—all eyes are currently on Doan’s future.

“Although his contract with Freiburg runs until 2027, Doan has shown interest in a transfer.

At present, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, and Frankfurt are all preparing transfer fees in the range of 2 to 3 billion yen to acquire him. It’s expected that his new club will be decided this summer,” said a reporter from the sports section of a daily newspaper.

Together with his beloved wife, Doan is taking steps toward a new chapter in his career.

Sanma Akashiya (69): Known for rarely attending weddings, Sanma made an appearance. As one of the biggest soccer enthusiasts in the entertainment world, he has close ties with many players.
Yuto Nagatomo (38) & Airi Taira (40): Nagatomo, who returned to the national team in March last year, arrived with his wife Airi. She seemed conscious of attracting attention and kept her head slightly down as they headed into the reception hall.
Groom – Ritsu Doan (27): Doan appeared in a black tuxedo. Standing before his bride in a pure white wedding gown, he couldn’t hide his giddy smile.
Tomoaki Makino (38): Now working as a commentator, Makino attended alone. Despite their more than 10-year age gap, he seems to share a close personal friendship with Doan.
