The pop sphere is set to fuzz over as former SKE48 member Jurina announces her marriage. She surprised fans by arriving at the press conference alongside her husband-to-be, Tsujimoto, who appeared leaning on a crutch. The reason for his limp is still unclear, but the couple seemed thrilled to share the news of their union. They have not disclosed further details on their ceremony.

In Japan, celeb marriages often draw massive attention, and fans eagerly anticipate details about ceremonies and relationships between stars. The public is also protective over the cute, wholesome image of their idol stars; therefore, for Tsujimoto, appearing on crutches without clear explanation feeds into curiosity and concern from fans and media.

Celebrity marriages often create a media frenzy in the USA or EU, much like in Japan. However, while the Americans and Europeans often show their stars in glamorous, luxurious imagery, Japanese stars are often buckled down to portray a more 'ordinary' and relatable life image.
