Fukuyama Masaharu & Fukiishi Kazue get married

Fukuyama Masaharu and Fukiishi Kazue got married on 28 September which also happens to be the latter's birthday. The couple were first romantically linked in January 2012 and there were rumours of them getting married when Fukuyama ended his long-running radio show in March this year. Both artistes' agencies released fax statements to the media.

In Fukuyama's statement, he mentioned that he and Fukiishi had been dating for a few years after they started off as friends. Gradually, they came to realise the importance of each other as life partners thus leading to them getting married. Fukuyama asked for the support and advice of everyone around them including fans and staff members as they strive to build a happy family. He also mentioned that he is in preparations for his year-end concert and will continue to work hard as before.

On the other hand, Fukiishi began her statement by apologising for having to announce the news of their marriage through a written statement due to the short notice. She mentioned that she had been in showbiz for 20 years since she was 13 and has no plans to stop working even after marriage. However, she is planning to take things slow for the time being but hopes that everyone will continue supporting her in future.
