Baseball star of the Yomiuri Giants, Hayato Sakamoto, congratulates Japanese actor and singer Kazuya Kamenashi on his recent marriage. Sakamoto expressed his good wishes publicly, further underlining the high-profile nature of Kamenashi's nuptials. The date and details of the wedding were kept private as is typical in Japanese celebrity culture.
In Japan, weddings of high-profile celebrities like Kamenashi are significant entertainment events that often garner significant public attention. Sakamoto's public blessings add to the high-profile nature of this event. Fans highly value the privacy of their celebrities and respect for this is crucial in Japanese media.
In the US or EU, celebrity weddings also gather much attention. However, very often, fans and media outlets seek more personal and inside-information about the event. Comparatively, fans in Japan seem more respectful of their celebrities' private lives.
