Japanese media features marriage stories and drama updates

The long-running Japanese variety program ‘Shinkon-san Irasshai!’ featured a story about a couple from Tokushima Prefecture who overcame significant obstacles to marry. After a chance encounter at a shopping mall years after meeting in university, the husband proposed to the wife. Despite initial resistance from the wife's mother regarding the husband's ability to join the family through marriage, the couple completed a three-year cohabitation trial period requested by the mother to prove their commitment.

In television news, the drama ‘Mou Papa!’ is seeing new developments. In the second episode, celebrity DAIGO makes a guest appearance as an award recipient at a ceremony. Additionally, it was announced that Aya Hirano will join the cast starting from the third episode, playing the mother of a popular YouTuber character.
