Overcoming Family Opposition, the Couple Marries and Shares Newlywed Life

A married couple in Japan, consisting of a 26-year-old man and a 60-year-old woman, has drawn attention after appearing on a TV program.

Recently, on the Ameba variety show 'Women Who Can't Stay Still,' a couple with a 34-year age difference appeared on air. Hiromi, the 60-year-old wife, and Kota, her 26-year-old husband, got married one year after meeting each other and are currently living together, dreaming of owning their own home.

Both of them work as actors and also take on delivery jobs as side work. Hiromi has been part of a theater troupe led by her mother since she was eight years old. Kota's mother is 51 years old, making her nine years younger than Hiromi.

Kota spoke about his first impression of his wife, saying, "I thought she was a wonderful person," and added, "She had an erotic charm when she danced." Hiromi confessed, saying Kota is "young and my type."

Kota was captivated by Hiromi after watching her dance during their practice sessions together. Hiromi also remarked, "After my divorce, I was alone for 20 years," and said, "I thought if I dated a man again, I wanted someone younger."

The two participated together in a production that portrayed 'a man and woman in love against everyone's opposition,' and frequently had to perform scenes holding hands. This became the decisive moment for Kota to think of Hiromi as his destined partner. One day, they went to see fireworks together, after which Hiromi visited Kota's house and confessed, "I'm serious about you." Kota responded by sharing his feelings, saying, "I'll protect you for the rest of my life, so please go out with me."

However, Hiromi worried that Kota might have another girlfriend, and Kota decided to marry her to reassure her. Initially, he faced strong opposition from his family. Hiromi invited his family over and cooked for them herself to earn their approval, but they did not attend. Still, Hiromi did not give up, and after continuously expressing her sincerity, she eventually obtained permission from Kota's mother. The couple revealed their newlywed life through the broadcast.

Meanwhile, Hiromi has been married four times and has three children: her eldest son is 36, her eldest daughter is 35, and her younger son is 30 years old.
