Popular Japanese actress Yui Aragaki, 32, and singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino, 40, who played lead characters in a 2016 popular TV drama, are set to get married, their agencies said Wednesday (May 19).
"We hope that we can support each other and accumulate prosperous time together," the couple said a joint statement. In the drama "Nigeru wa haji daga yaku ni tatsu" (running away is a shame but useful), the plot saw Aragaki and Hoshino as the couple entering into a contract marriage.
The two again co-starred in a sequel of the drama series aired in January. The theme song by Hoshino featuring the cast dancing the "Koi Dance," meaning love dance, became a craze in Japan.
Hoshino is known for singing an opening theme song for the TV anime series "Doraemon."
