The story
An article in which former Weathernews star caster Sakuya Hiyama discussed the major turning points in her life — leaving the company, marrying pro tennis player Yoshihito Nishioka, and her first pregnancy — became a hot topic on 5ch. Beyond reactions to the marriage itself, the thread was dominated by discussion of surrounding details: the order in which the marriage was announced versus the fan club’s closure, her husband Nishioka’s recent slump in results, and a previously viral exchange involving a fan’s expensive Super Chat donation. Opinions split between supportive and skeptical takes.

What people said
Who said anything about "Kikkoman"? (a running joke nickname tied to a past celebrity scandal)
Somehow I get the feeling the two of them are similar in personality — or more like, in the way they think
The circumstances are similar, but it's missing the punch of the old "Kikkoman," "banana," or "maze" incidents (all nicknames from a past celebrity scandal saga)
Hard to picture anything breaking this up besides infidelity
Nothing's really going to happen here
You could say that 50,000 yen was money well spent
It was satisfying seeing someone finally say it, on behalf of all the guys who'd been pouring money into her lol
But of course, nobody's bringing that up
Well yeah, of course it'd turn out that way lmaooooo
Fine if things go well with her husband, but I've got a bad feeling about how ugly this could get if they ever sour
After all, tennis fans had already lived through the whole Kei Nishikori dating-and-marriage saga
Compared to that, this was nothing
So I was honestly shocked to see her side's fanbase spiral into chaos over it
Digging through old articles and videos, you really get a glimpse of just how far gone some of these obsessive male fans are — hard to even put into words
He looks like a pretty unpopular guy to me

Background and Key Points of Discussion
Sakuya Hiyama rose to fame as the star weather caster for forecasting company Weathernews, and after going independent became entertainment-news fodder over her marriage to pro tennis player Yoshihito Nishioka. The thread’s main points of contention were the timing of the marriage announcement relative to the fan club’s closure, Nishioka’s recent slump in results (ranked 218th at the time of the thread, having lost his first match back after a long layoff), and a previously viral exchange with a fan over an expensive Super Chat donation. While the article itself frames her “accompanying him abroad” in a positive light, the thread mixed in skeptical takes based on publicly available information. Note that replies veering into personal attacks on her or other named individuals have been excluded from this article.
