There was good tidings from J-ent at the very start of 2023 with the announcement that near same age young stars Tsuchiya Tao and Katayose Ryota got married. He’s 28 and she’s 27 and they met 5 years ago doing the 2017 teen romance movie My Brother Loves Me Too Much (don’t worry, no incest in this one) and was reportedly dating since then though neither side confirmed. With the marriage announcement also came news that the two were expecting their first child together. Tsuchiya Tao had a great end to 2022 with the release of Alice in Borderland 2 which remains in the Netflix worldwide top 10 list since its premiere at the end of December but news of her marriage and baby to come will likely mean a pause or even end to her acting career though I hope its the former as she’s one of the most talented young actresses of her gen. Congrats on the marriage and parenthood to come to these two young lovebirds!

Very rare in Jp for popular young stars being allowed to date and marry before 30... I am very happy for them. I loved their movie, I still watch it every now and then.
He reminds me of a young Hyde from L'arc en ciel. lol Very happy for the couple! Best wishes to new parenthood.
Congratulations to Ryota and Tao! I really liked them in Anikoma (drama and movie). They were cute together both on- and offscreen. It's impressive how they could keep their relationship a secret for so long. It is indeed also rare for Asian artists to get married and have a child in their 20s. They both have expressed that we would like to get married early though so I'm glad that their wish came true.
An end to her acting career just because she’s getting married and having a baby? Oh come on, we don’t live in the medieval times. She’ll be back for sure, she’s still young and her career can still go places, regardless of her marital status. Congrats to the couple!
Even in this day and age it's not uncommon for a Japanese actress to get married and then disappear from acting for years if not permanently. I hope that's not the case for her.
You'd be surprised, Japan's entertainment industry does follow this trend. Many famous actresses retire when they marry or cut back on appearances.
But they live in Asia where unfortunately this is very realistic. Wrong but realistic.
