The two were discovered last year, nine month relationship was also found in his blog. , The overall story to multiple stakeholders, Hikaru 15 this month and to start a busy day overseas tour, passing each of the lives of more catastrophic. A new leaf this year, including an album devoted to musical activities.

It's a tad too direct. Could someone explain in detail? I only get certain parts of the translation. Still, thanks for the news. Well, it's merely natural that relationships are hard to work out when there's such a difference in lifestyles.

wait..is it saying that hikaru knew the painter for 8 years already? but then suddenly married kiriya right? and now she's been with this guy the past 9 months.. and her US tour is making their relationship catastrophic as they cant be together..the translation was difficult to read but manageable to make out..so could the painter be a reason why hikaru and kiriya divorced?..the truth on breakups isnt always what its said to be you know..

If they were love each other, i don't think its really a problem with that kind of issue, Its a matter of trust XD. But if she break up with her new boyfriend, many guys will loved to see that (Ryuji Yamazaki and Brian Fury mode on)

no its saying that the painter is 8 years older than hikki. the part about marrying kiriya is pretty much summing up her past love life. i guess they're trying to say that soon after they divorced, she started seeing this painter. the news of these 2 dating broke out in japan in september (9gatsu) & she also said on her blog that she does have a boyfriend. according to her management, because of her tour she became very busy.

this article also states that she kicked off her u.s./u.k tour on the 15 in honolulu. then on her 27th birthday, she performed in l.a. then talks about hikki updating her blog after 3 months.

the end says that after her tour, she's planning to come out with a new album. she's going to continue focusing on her music career this year.

i think the japanese media wants to keep up with hikki's life. so they announce whatever news they get.
well, at least we know she's gonna work on a new album after her tour! so excited for that.
