The story
Actress Honda Miyu (22) appeared at a public radio recording event for Bunka Hoso on October 2 and revealed that she considers 78-year-old actor Sasano Takashi — 56 years her senior — her one true friend. She explained that the two keep in touch via video calls and described their first meeting as an instant connection, using the Japanese phrase “bibibi” (a term for a sudden spark or love-at-first-sight feeling). On 5ch, reactions were split: some were stunned by a gap big enough to span grandfather and grandchild, others found the unlikely bond with the veteran actor heartwarming, while plenty of posts took a more teasing, off-color tone.

Saw a video on Instagram and she honestly looked just like Shibuki Jun (elegant former Takarazuka star turned actress)
But the childlike look is gone — total grown woman now
"Yeah. I'm free."
He drove a Porsche, right?

Background and Key Points of This Story
Honda Miyu is a former competitive figure skater turned actress who’s been working since her child-star days. Sasano Takashi is a veteran character actor known for supporting roles on stage, screen, and TV — generationally closer to her grandfather than a peer. The thread’s split reaction comes down to whether posters took the friendship at face value or zeroed in on the age gap to mock it, with some of the latter comments getting personal about her looks and figure. Timing played a role too: a marriage announcement involving another former child star had just broken, so a wave of posts jumped to “Miyu’s next,” tying the story to other entertainment news by association. Celebrities publicly announcing cross-generational friendships isn’t unusual in itself, and this report just relays what the two said — but it’s worth noting that online reactions tend to default to a romantic framing regardless.
