Popular J-Pop singer Jurina Matsui has gone on record stating her desire to get married with full responsibility. While it's unclear whether she’s engaged or simply reflecting on the future, this statement has made headlines in Japan, sparking various reactions. There is no information about a potential partner, nor any specific timeline for these plans, leaving fans eager for more updates.
Marriage announcements by celebrities in Japan often garner a significant amount of public attention - both positive and negative. While fans are usually excited, there's also often critique due to the traditional expectation that female celebrities should maintain an image of being available, hence marriage might impact their career negatively. Nevertheless, Matsui’s emphasis on responsibility indicates a more modern perspective on marriage in the Japanese entertainment industry.
In the US or EU, celebrities tying the knot is an equally highlighted event, yet it tends not to impact their career significantly. This is due to the Western entertainment industry's more liberal attitude towards the personal lives of celebrities, particularly female ones.
