What people said
Even across totally different industries, people connect in surprisingly many ways, you know.
Probably an Instagram DM? Or maybe some kind of dinner get-together.
AKB's Itano lol, Oba lol, Tada lol, Eto lol
Hey, lay off Takahashi Yuji
(His wife is former AKB member Aki Takajo)
Don't you dare forget about Tani, you jerk
Wasn't it just a group mixer lol
Not much going on with him lately
A former prodigy who's now been left far behind by Lee Kang-in
I want them to divorce within a year
Aren't most athletes married to older women anyway?
Tell me, I need it for reference
Step one: become a Japan national team player
It's gotta be Kubo, obviously lol
She's surely taller than 160cm (about 5'3")
He just looks short because he's surrounded by bigger guys — Kubo's actually a bit above average height himself
Was Haruka Fukuhara always this cute?
Look at that face lol
Guess he couldn't let a beauty like her slip away
I didn't want to see Kubo-kun looking like this
Honestly that shocked me more than the marriage news
Probably the lean, athletic build and the stamina
There's no one else for him
Sounds like he's dating some sultry Italian woman
She's ranked #10, Re: #495
do their paths even cross lmaoooooo
Rarely has there been a couple whose backstory I want to know this badly
If there's any connection, maybe it's through Yuka Kageyama —
they co-starred in the "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War" movie
Background and Talking Points on This Story
Born in 1998, Haruka Fukuhara starred in the children’s show “Cooking Idol! Ai! Mai! Main!” and worked as a model before building a career that includes “Honest Real Estate,” “Laid-Back Camp,” and the lead role in the NHK morning drama “Mai Agare!” Takefusa Kubo is a Japan national team midfielder who moved to Spain as a junior-high student and played in Real Madrid’s youth academy; in recent years he’s become something of a polarizing figure, at times described as a “former prodigy.” The thread didn’t really have a central point of conflict — instead it buzzed with lighter topics: curiosity about how the couple met, the fact that this follows another actress from the same talent agency, Haruna Kawaguchi, also marrying a soccer player, and debate over their age and height difference. The one caveat worth noting is that neither party has made an official statement about details of their private life, such as how they met, so everything in the thread remains speculation.
