In Japan, it is not uncommon for celebrities, whether actors, musicians or sports stars, to keep their personal lives, especially romantic relationships or marriages, private to maintain their public image and to protect their loved ones from excessive media scrutiny. They often disclose such events once held, typically in the form of a press release or message to the fans.
The practice of celebrities maintaining privacy and then making sudden announcements about major life events is not exclusive to Japan. Celebrities in the US and EU also often keep their personal lives away from public view. These sudden revelations often grab significant media attention, generating mixed to positive reactions from their public.
