LiSA – Homura / Another Great Day!! / Believe in myself

Yesterday, Aragaki Yui and Hoshino Gen announced their marriage. A sequel to the drama in which they played a married couple, “Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu”, is now expected since they essentially turned fantasy into reality. But that may not be possible due to a new rumor: “Gakki Marriage Retirement Theory.” This rumor says that Yui is set to retire in 2023.

To clarify, Yui and Gen have not yet registered their marriage, but will do so soon. She also isn’t pregnant, so this isn’t a shotgun wedding. According to a management official, the couple started dating with the intention of marriage after reuniting to shoot “Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu Ganbare Jinrui! Shinshun Special!!”, a New Year special episode of the drama they starred in together, which aired this past January.

Nobody believed they would eventually get married when the drama aired in 2016. “They weren’t particularly intimate during shooting. Gen was often a bit worried about Yui, but she didn’t feel like dealing with him much, so he would return to his quarters as soon as he was done shooting,” says a publisher.
