Shotgun wedding. Calling it right now.

Huh? It's already been called if you actually read the article?!?!?!

The couple, who met through TV work in October 2016, are expecting a baby this winter, they said.

This is not unusual here in Japan, in fact it's quite common. Probably the only way many get married in the first place!

I did read it, but obviously not close enough. Thanks for the correction.

My husband works with Hagino and he's been in a weird place lately, so I hope he finds some clarity and joy in the situation.

J-female marries younger man

What the heck is wrong with people here? As soon as I read the title, I didn't even have to read the article - I just knew the woman was pregnant. It's as if people here ONLY marry each other because a baby's coming. In that case, if you're going to have unprotected sex, commit first and marry, and then wait for the good news. It just feels as if people don't want to commit to each other unless a baby's coming. And if that's the only reason, and not because you truly love each other and see yourselves as compatible with each other. Eyes rolling.

Let me guess, Judeo-Christian, right? So what? You intend to impress your moral values here?

I know Miwa and adore her songs. Hopefully this is a case of celebrities having a nice marriage which results in a healthy and strong family.
