<h2><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;I&#8217;m a member of the family.</span><span class="strongInContent"> I&#8217;m registered, I&#8217;m married.</span></h2>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Um, I also got married.&#8221;</span></p>
<p> Lily (41) of the comedy duo &#8220;Mimikaze&#8221; announced her marriage on the radio program &#8220;Stand by Mimikaze&#8221; (TBS Radio) late at night on May 27.</p>
<p> In the latter half of the one-hour program, Lily and his partner Shintaro Moriyama (40) were having an episodic talk about an American hip-hop group he admired. In the middle of the discussion, she made the following comment.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Hey, wait a minute. Old man, old man.&#8221;</span></p>
<p> His partner Moriyama looked quite upset, but ignored him. Lily continued to talk about hip-hop, to which Moriyama replied, &#8220;What did you just say?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Moriyama asked, &#8220;What did you say?　He walked up to the microphone and said something like, &#8220;I&#8217;m Kirin,&#8221; and the studio laughed.</span></p>
<p> The studio was filled with laughter.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Lily then added, &#8220;There have been many twists and turns, but we have entered the registry.</span></p>
<p> Lily then announced her marriage. Moriyama asked her, &#8220;Is the man you&#8217;re dating the one from the Friday night attack? Moriyama asked, &#8220;Is that the man you met in the Friday attack? Lily&#8217;s &#8220;married partner&#8221; was &#8220;the one who got married to me.</p>
<p> Lily&#8217;s &#8220;marriage partner&#8221; is Nao Imagawa (29), a freelance announcer who was scooped in the September 12-19, 2025 issue of &#8220;FRIDAY&#8221; for her &#8220;hand-holding date and semi-living together. We would like to take a look back at what happened at that time.</p>

<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> It was a weekend in mid-August 2013. Despite the tropical night, a famous Korean restaurant in Minato Ward, Tokyo, was bustling with activity. A man and a woman (a couple)&#8230;&#8230; enter the popular restaurant together. The man is disguised in a hat and mask, but his trademark blond hair and handsome eyes catch the eye. He is Lily, the bokeh in charge of the comedy duo &#8220;Mimikazu.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He moved to Tokyo in 2010 after making it to the finals of the M-1 Grand Prix three times, and quickly became a breakout star. He is now an extremely successful performer with five regular shows, including two under his own name. Lily, in particular, is very popular among women because of her well-defined looks.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Lily plays the role of his girlfriend in their popular comedy &#8220;Minami-Osaka no Kasu Couple,&#8221; and she really looks like a woman because of her well-defined face. Recently on a variety show, his partner Moriyama told him, &#8220;Just breathing makes you popular. She is the most popular comedian in Japan.</span></p>
<p> On that day, Lily was accompanied by a petite beauty. I had thought that he was a popular guy who believed that &#8220;playing with women is the fertilizer of one&#8217;s art&#8221; (&#8230;&#8230;), but Lily seemed to be in a different mood that day.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" The story of Lily and Imagawa Anna&#39;s passionate love affair"></div>
<h2><span class="strongInContent">The other party was a beautiful woman who was the runner-up in the Miss Contest.</span></h2>
<p> As soon as she leaves the restaurant, Lily firmly grabs back the beautiful woman&#8217;s outstretched hand. Lily quietly listens to her as she continues to talk while waiting at the traffic light. The next thing she knew, the beautiful woman suddenly dashed out of the store. Lily desperately chased after her, holding her pants down with one hand, and grabbed her arm as if to say, &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to let you go,&#8221; and they went into the high-rise apartment building together.</p>
<p> From start to finish, Lily was being pushed around by the beautiful woman. Even so, the smiles on their faces indicated that they had an easygoing relationship, like a comedy duo with long careers.</p>
<p> The beautiful woman Lily is in love with is freelance announcer Nao Imagawa.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> She is a beautiful woman who once won the runner-up prize at a beauty contest while a student at Doshisha University. She currently works for St. Force and is active in news programs such as &#8220;TBS NEWS&#8221; and the sports program &#8220;S☆1&#8221; (TBS).</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The two first met in 1948. At the time, Imagawa was working for Okayama Broadcasting Co. Lily is from Okayama Prefecture, so they were on location together in Okayama. Lily said, &#8216;Your face is my de type! and approached her aggressively, which led to a relationship.&#8217; They have lived together since Imagawa Anna moved to Tokyo in March 25. She even reported their relationship to her partner Moriyama, so Lily is serious about it,&#8221; (Lily&#8217;s acquaintance).</span></p>
<p> In late August &#8217;25, they went out together from their &#8220;love nest&#8221; to enjoy a date at a yakitori restaurant. On their way home, they held hands without either of them saying a word. They also seem to share a key, and when Lily is not home, Imagawa goes home alone. While they played the role of a &#8220;scumbag couple&#8221; in their comedy act, they were a &#8220;♡♡♡ (lovey-dovey) couple&#8221; in their private life.</p>
<p> When I approached the couple after their date, Lily said without hesitation, &#8220;I&#8217;ll answer,&#8221; and politely responded to my interview.</p>
<p> &#8211;Are you two currently dating?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Yes, we are.</span></p>
<p> &#8211;What attracted you to her?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I was attracted to her &#8230;&#8230; appearance and &#8230;&#8230;. Also, she&#8217;s just a nice girl.</span></p>
<p> &#8211;I heard that you live together, but do you plan to get married?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I don&#8217;t have any concrete plans. I would like to get married someday.</span></p>
<p> &#8211;In January 2013, you also announced your marriage. Were you inspired by him?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> No, no, I have nothing to do with that. It&#8217;s just that, yes. Before I die (laughs). I hope I can do it with her.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> He had successfully carried out his declaration of marriage at that time. When Moriyama asked Lily why she had decided to get married, she replied, &#8220;It&#8217;s a man&#8217;s responsibility.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I think it&#8217;s the man&#8217;s responsibility. I caused a lot of trouble when I appeared in a weekly magazine.</span></p>
<p> The popular duo must have had a bright and happy &#8220;life plan&#8221; after having found good companions one after the other.</p>
