Hayashi Kento and Oshima Yuko to get married after co-starring in the morning drama Scarlet

On the 28th, it was announced that actor Hayashi Kento (30) and former AKB48 member and actress Oshima Yuko (32) will be getting married soon. They have been dating for about a year, having grown closer through their collaboration on the NHK TV series "Scarlet" (September 2019 - March last year). This is a "sudden marriage" between two successful people whose relationship has never been reported before. It will be a surprise for Japan, a country in the midst of a huge medal rush for the Tokyo Olympics
Hayashi, who made his debut at the age of 16 and has grown into an acting star, and Oshima, who has made a spectacular transition from top idol to popular actress. The two, who are nationally known, have been secretly developing their love and will soon get married.

 The two co-starred in the movie "Yamikin Ushijima-kun" released in 2012. At the time, Hayashi said that Oshima was her "favorite member" among the AKB48 members. After that, they continued to be friends, but it was their collaboration in "Scarlet" that brought them closer together, where they played the roles as childhood friends and spent a lot of time together during the nearly one-year long filming. They also co-starred in Fuji TV's "Kyojo" (January last year), which was filmed around the same time, bringing them closer together.

A person in the entertainment industry who knows them well said, "Hayashi is shy and reserved, and Oshima is frank and can get along with anyone. Their personalities are complete opposites, but they seem to be on the same page and make a great couple. Oshima-san, who is two years younger than Hayashi-san, respected Hayashi-san's sincere attitude toward his work and acting, and was attracted to him

Their relationship started around last summer after the filming of "Scarlet" was finished. Because they didn't want to cause any trouble to their business associates, they kept their relationship secret from the public. They have been dating at their own homes

The two have already greeted each other's parents and reported their marriage to their close business associates and friends. They will submit their marriage certificate and start living together when they are both finished with their current work.

It's a big surprise and unexpected, but I'm still happy to hear such congratulatory news!


[+22,454, -2,090] Personally, I think Kento Hayashi deserves a better career.
When he is into it, his acting is outstanding.
I hope this marriage will be a turning point for him to step up his game even further.
Congratulations!


[+20,471, -3,559]  don't know why... when I saw the title, I thought they were getting married in a drama, but I was surprised to learn that they were actually getting married!
That's how shocking this couple is.
The members of AKB in their prime have reached the age where they are getting married one after another.
Hayashi-san seems to be a sincere person, and I think they're the most likely couple to succeed within AKB


[+7,370, -646] whaaaaaaat? I'm surprised
I'm glad it's not some weird young businessman or IT company president.
I'm glad.
With these two...
I'm sure they'll have a cute child with big eyes

[+6,652, -1,010] Toda Erika and Matsuzaka Tori, Gakki and Hoshino Gen, Ishihara Satomi, and so on... Recently, big-named celebrities are getting married in a lot, as if they're trying to ridicule the mass media.
Congratulations on the marriage!
