<h3>Masayuki Sakamoto (50) &amp; Hikaru Asami (49) (married on December 30, 2009)</h3>

Even though they didn&#8217;t talk, they seemed to be in perfect synch, and the way they carried vegetables and other foodstuffs in their baskets made them look like a couple who had been together for many years.</figcaption></figure>
<p>The number of celebrity goal-signings has been on the rise since the beginning of Japan. For example, on December 30, 2011, former V6 leader Masayuki Sakamoto (50), former Takarazuka actress Hikaru Asami (49), and Soshina products from &#8220;Shimofuri Myojo&#8221; (29) announced their marriage one after another.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><strong> The reason why so many celebrities rush into marriages at the end of the year is that the media is on vacation and tracking is looser. It&#8217;s also a good time for the sponsors to take action by not making a big deal out of it. Contracts are renewed at the beginning of the year, so announcing at the end of the year when things are hectic reduces the damage to the talent image.</strong></p>
<p>Fortune-telling is one of the trends in marriage in Japan. The desk continues.</p>
<p><strong> Perhaps it&#8217;s the anxiety over the Covid-19 disaster, but fortune-telling is booming. More and more celebrities are getting married on &#8216;Ichiryu-manbai-bi&#8217; and &#8216;Tensha-nichi,&#8217; which are said to be good days to start anything. Yui Aragaki (33) and Gen Hoshino (40) got married on May 19, 2009, the day when the Great Seal Day and the Icchirunmanbubi Day coincide, and Hidetaka Kano (39) scored a goal on June 15, 2009, the day when the Icchirunmanbubi Day and the Tenshakuhi Day coincide. The strongest opening days this year are March 26 and June 10. I&#8217;m sure there will be a surprise wedding announcement.&#8221;</strong></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p>Let&#8217;s wait for the good news while looking at the precious two-shots of celebrities who scored a goal in harmony, such as Masaki Suda (28) and Nana Komatsu (25), who got married after three movie collaborations, and Tori Matsuzaka (33) and Erika Toda (33), who secretly nurtured their love with a Covid-19 disaster.</p>
