For the first time, celebrity couple Mizukawa and Kubota are set to co-star as a married couple in an upcoming Japanese drama. This marks their first onscreen collaboration ever since they tied the knot in real-life. The drama's title, airing date and other details are yet to be revealed.

Japanese audiences are typically very interested in their favorite celebrities' personal lives. Having a real-life couple play a couple on screen is not uncommon in Japan, but its rarity piques public interest. Such events are covered extensively in both mainstream and social media, leading to high anticipation for the collaboration project.

Much like in the US or EU, celebrity couples co-starring in dramas or movies isn't unheard of. However, the difference lies in the type of attention it garners. The Western media often politicizes such relationships, while Japanese media and audiences, for the most part, remain respectful of the couple’s privacy.
