Tokyohive translation


"I will be getting married soon.

I thought about making the announcement after quietly holding the ceremony, but I've already received inquiries and it seems there are already rumors, so I am making the announcement at this time.


I laughed a little because it was unexpected myself. My partner is an Italian man. He is the most 'common person', so for the safety of him and his family, I ask from the bottom of my heart to refrain from invasion of privacy.


Thank you for your warm support. I am sorry to make you worry so often. He is a faithful young man who is loved by many friends. His family is a large, cheerful, and lively family that would appear in mangas. Since I am at a good age, it would make me happy if you would please watch over me quietly."

"Also... since I am still in mourning, I thought about putting off my marriage. But when I talked about him to my mother during our last conversation, she seemed so happy which made me think, 'how many years has it been since I've heard my mom so happy?'. I believe that my mother is certainly supporting me, so I decided to get married as planned."

Hm, Italian man.

If they have a son, they should name it Mario. It only makes sense since it is Italian-Japanese.

A 23 year old Italian bartender?

What is she thinking?
what happened to that Japanese artist guy she was seeing?
Damn, what a shame.

Well I hope she is happy and it turns out good for her.
She must not care about her family name or legacy.


Hikaru Calianno

Kill me.

I don't understand why it's such a big deal because the man is of a different nationality. If she's happy that's all that matters! I'm so happy for her and I'm sure her mother is too!
