If they’re happy, good for them. As a middle aged man, not sure I have the patience to date a 20 yo
Good for them. This rarely happens
It would be fine if the story ended there, they’re both consenting adults so if they’re happy then whatever, but he’s been into her since she was underage… pretty gross if you ask me…
Hey! Just think! When he was jerking off at age 40, she was already 13 years old!
I mean, they are happy, so who gives a shit.
Wow. This is those things that when you hear about it, you go “lol….yeah right. That’ll never happen.”
I’m happy for them though.
Although, now I’m worried that all the Otaku are going to think they have a high chance now and go even more obsessive stalker with their favorite idol in hopes of having this happen to them too.
So I’m happy for them because it seems like a great turn out but worried for wave of issues others will have……
It’s something so positive can make me feel some sort of dread……
I hope she knows what she’s doing and she has a happy life with him
It seems to me like it could possibly be a case of her living a very sheltered life, suddenly entering the limelight and falling for the first guy who showed dedication to her. I hope she doesn’t regret it, 20 is young as hell man
Anyone know if there is a version of this article in Japanese l?
well at least she’s not a hologram or made of cardboard
I’m so happy for him. She looks beautiful and she’s singing to him 🥰🥰🥰
W
20 years is a huge age difference, can barely imagine dating anyone 5 years older/younger than me.
But if they are happy then good for them, hope they have happy lives
I’m 34 and I wish I could marry someone younger. Women my age especially white women have aged really bad and seem to bloat
edit: oh this comment struck a nerve lol. hey stay where the hell you are
Make her happy bro😔🙏

She took one for the team… if there isn’t a rare success story, then Idol fans will loose all hope and might stop supporting this industry which heavily relies on the idol’s datable appeal.
/s … this is obviously sarcasm. Or is it?
This is so wrong. They dated when she was under age.. the age gap is so so wrong
There’s hope for you all.
Initially I was kind of concerned but then again, some Japanese people don’t consider having sex with someone else as cheating so maybe their perception of marriage is different too. At least she’s an adult.
Look I’m done infantilising adult women. There are many many benefits to dating an older man, so especially in a case where the woman approached him first, I’m not gonna have any problem with it.
I thought I was gonna laugh and cringe reading the article, but it was actually cute. Hopefully he’s a good guy and they’re happy!
Is he rich?
Divide by two and add seven. That is the rule!
Japan is so 😬 at times.
They started dating 3 years ago. I get that she’s 20 now, but it feels pretty creepy for a 44-year-old man to pursue a 17-year-old in an already notoriously exploitative industry. Reeks of grooming.
Money?
