Reader’s Question:
What do fans think about Tadayoshi Okura’s marriage? Recently, it seems the media coverage has been unusually intense, and even though it’s a shotgun wedding, I can’t shake off a feeling of unease. I believe the general flow is dating, then marriage, and after a while, having children. How do you all feel about this?
Complex Emotions Surrounding Marriage
Reports
Recently, reports about Tadayoshi Okura’s marriage have been gaining a lot of attention. Observing the reactions from fans reveals a whirlwind of emotions. There are many voices expressing feelings of loneliness, and I can relate to that sentiment. When someone I have supported for a long time marries a non-celebrity, it creates an indescribable distance.
The Emotional Distance and Feelings of Congratulations
As a fan of Okura, I genuinely want to celebrate his marriage. While I have a strong desire for him to be happy, the fact that he has chosen a partner who is a civilian brings a strange sense of loneliness to my heart. I had assumed that it was common for celebrities to marry one another, so this news is a bit unexpected. Moreover, knowing it’s a shotgun wedding leads me to make unnecessary assumptions. If I start to think of marriage as something that happens because it “had to,” doubts about his choice can arise. However, considering that marriage is not the end goal, I believe the focus should be on how their life together will unfold.
The Struggles of Being a Fan
It’s a complicated position to be in as a fan. I find it hard to say “congratulations” sincerely regarding the marriage news, and I feel that it will take time for me to adjust. While I wish for his happiness, I also carry a bit of sadness. It’s unsettling to think that there will be changes in his life after supporting him for so long. On the other hand, some fans express frustration with a sentiment like “those who can’t celebrate are sad.” While I can understand that perspective, it’s essential to recognize that everyone has their own emotional background. My genuine wish for his happiness remains unchanged; I just need a little time to process this change.
Expectations and Wishes for the Future
Okura is approaching 40 years old. Deciding to get married and have children must have been a significant choice for him. I’m excited to see how his life will change after marriage and how he will navigate his new role. I also feel that I am at a point in my life where I need to take on new challenges. Accepting his marriage could be a good opportunity for me to think about how I want to shape my own life. I want to continue supporting him and wish for his happiness in whatever form it takes. I would love to hear how other readers feel about their favorite artist’s marriage. Please share your thoughts and experiences in the comments.
