They were already married on September 1st, they just haven't announced when or IF they'll have a wedding…
It's the same in Korea. Idols are not allowed to date and when they do decide to marry it is their agencies that make official statements. It's creepy.
What I don't understand is why they have to shift the focus from her to another character in her fall drama...…
We'll see when the drama comes out. If everything seems okay and her character is not pushed into the background, then it was all an exaggeration by media.
I hope her career is intact after this news. Despite the contracts and everything, no woman should be severely…
It will still affect her career.
"Five years after they married against the wishes of their respective management companies, actress Meisa Kuroki and former idol Jin Akanishi are still paying off combined iyakukin (damages) worth more than ¥1 billion. Their situation is mirrored more recently in the case of actress Emi Takei.
The lawyer says celebrity contracts usually contain “image clauses,” but each client decides what constitutes an undesirable change in image. That’s why so many management companies forbid young idols from dating or getting married.
Takei is 23 and successful enough to call her own shots in terms of fees, but clients will use any excuse to take advantage of a situation and reduce their expenses. More to the point, Oscar Promotion may be looking to the future — Takei will be out of commission at least until her baby is born — and is essentially charging her for potential lost sales."

I think the reason for penalties is that as a pregnant woman you cannot do a certain type of commercials such as promoting alcohol and ingredients that might be harmful for pregnant women. And since she signed such a contract and received money, she and her partner should have been more careful, it is the 21st century after all.
Okay, so how come Japanese celebrity couples always have a huuuge age gap? I've seen so many of them. If…
Yeah, it's the thing. Usually I find it disturbing, but in this case the age gap is 9 years which is not so terrible but still... What I find more disturbing is that most of them have shotgun weddings and retire in their 20s...
I just love how Kahoko's character slowly develops and you can truly see the change in her thoughts and behavior, and it is all thanks to Takahata's amazing acting, she is truly a gem.
