Sweet Surprise: Wada Manju Announces Unconventional Re-Marriage

Popular Japanese entertainer Wada Manju has made an unconventional statement, announcing his remarriage in a redeclaration of vows ceremony. Typically, remarriage celebrations tend to be private affairs in Japan, making this announcement from a public figure quite an exception. Details about the reasons for this exceptional declaration or the venue were not immediately disclosed.

In Japanese society, second weddings or remarriages are often held privately due to societal norms emphasizing modesty, making this announcement rather unusual. Wada Manju's decision to publicize his remarriage reflects the slow but noticeable cultural shift in Japan regarding such societal traditions.

In contrast to Japan's traditionally private ceremonies, figures in the US and EU often celebrate second marriages with the same degree of publicity as first ones, given that societal norms are more accepting of remarriage. As a result, the way Wada Manju has chosen to announce his remarriage is more in line with these international norms.
