Celebrating Arashi’s marriage! Kimura & Shizuka, Morita & Miyazawa… The “Happiness” of Johnny’s Couples
In the evening of May 2008, I caught V6’s Tsuyoshi Morita (42) and actress Rie Miyazawa (48) at a high-end supermarket in Tokyo. When the office’s pickup truck pulled up in front of the supermarket, the driver went out first. The sliding door opened and Morita and Miyazawa got out.
About 20 minutes later, after finishing their shopping, they came out of the supermarket, laughing together. They must have bought a lot of groceries. Morita was slinging her overstuffed eco-bag over her shoulder, while Miyazawa was gently holding her husband’s arm. The car they got into did not take any detours, but went straight home to their apartment.
On September 28th, Sho Sakurai (39) and Masaki Aiba (38) of Arashi announced their marriage to an ordinary woman. This is an unusual W report. I’m sure they will have a wonderful family in the future. This magazine has often witnessed Japanese couples getting along well with each other. The couple of Morita and Miyazawa at the beginning of this article is one of them. I would like to introduce these couples who exude an overwhelming aura.
Eating ice cream while walking their dog
It was a sunny spring afternoon in April this year. A couple with their two fluffy dogs were seen in the crowded plaza of Yebisu Garden Place. It was Takuya Kimura (48) and his wife Shizuka Kudo (51).
It was two days before the birthday of their beloved wife, Shizuka. They must have been enjoying some time together while walking their dog. After a while, Kimura sat his dogs, Etoile and Amour, down on a bench.
Shizuka, on the other hand, went to an ice cream store. A few minutes later, when Shizuka came back with ice cream in her hand, Kimura stood up with a smile on his face and started walking. On the way, Shizuka offered Kimura an ice cream, and he licked it back. Even after 20 years of marriage, the couple seems to be in good health.
“Recently, Shizuka has been making frequent appearances on the social networking sites of her daughters Cocomi and Kōki. The Kimtakus have always had an image of being out of touch with the world, but when their daughters began to talk about the inner workings of the Kimura family and the “daddy” side of Mr. Kimura through live streaming and other means, they quickly became the talk of the town.
Shizuka seems to have taken notice of this, and showed her “ideal family image” by sending out messages about celebrations such as family birthdays and wedding anniversaries, as well as casual, everyday activities such as playing with her dogs. “(An employee of a commercial broadcast key station)
At a field day at a prestigious school: ……
In October 2006, a typhoon had passed and it was extremely hot on a Sunday, not unlike autumn. The schoolyard of a prestigious private school in Tokyo was filled with big-name celebrities who were as enthusiastic as the sun.
“On this day, a big field day was being held to commemorate the school’s 100th anniversary. Since it was a commemorative event, all the schools, from kindergarten to university, joined together. There were more celebrities there than usual.
Among the enthusiastic parents, the couple that stood out the most was the couple of Japanese superstar Noriyuki Higashiyama (55) and actress Yoshino Kimura (45). They were in the front row from the morning, taking video of their child’s every move. When their child waved during the competition, they waved back together in a friendly scene.
Smiling family shopping
Junichi Okada (40) picks up his crying and bawling child with an air of “Oh dear. Beside Okada, his wife Aoi Miyazaki (35) continues to shop with a serious expression on her face.
August of 2008. In August 2008, Okada and Miyasaki walked into a café in a commercial facility in Tokyo together. Okada was dressed all in black with sunglasses and a cap, while Miyazaki wore a loose, sleeveless dress and a straw hat.
“The two co-starred in a movie together in 2008, and began dating in the spring of 2003, announcing their marriage in December 2005 and the birth of their son in October of the following year. They are busy people, but now that they are not going out as much due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus, they seem to be spending more time together as a family.
On this day, there was a child between the two of them. After a while, their son, who had been quiet, suddenly started to complain. Okada quickly took the child outside the cafe. It was a smiling scene, as if they were used to this kind of situation.
Love is taboo for idols. That era may be old. The Johnny’s actors are nurturing family happiness in their own ways.
