Clap Clap Clap Clap ♡ Acchan is getting married!

On July 31st, an incredible piece of news arrived*

The legendary former center of AKB48 and actress Atsuko Maeda (27) is reportedly getting married to actor Ryo Katsuji (31)♡

The national idol who was supported by everyone and was under a no-dating rule, Acchan is getting married...! Congratulations...! ♡

On Ryo Katsuji's Instagram, a photo was posted showing the couple's hands wearing wedding rings♡

The first from the Kami 7♡

AKB48 when Acchan was the center was truly amazing*

Every CD release turned into a million-hit, there were huge lines at handshake events, concert tickets became a fierce competition, and the general election had the highest viewership...

Acchan once said on stage, "You may dislike me, but please don’t dislike AKB!"

There were indeed many antis, but

that was indicative of how captivating and popular she was, and how she dominated the era.

It might not be an exaggeration to say she was a key figure in building the current female idol culture in Japan*

Especially, the Kami 7 including Acchan,

Yuko Oshima, Mariko Shinoda, Mayu Watanabe, Minami Takahashi, Haruna Kojima, and Tomomi Itano were incredibly popular♡

Other members looked up to them as if they were on another level...!

Now, all seven have graduated from AKB48 and are working hard in their respective fields, but

the first to get married among them was Acchan, who rose to the top in the first General Election!

Acchan is still probably leading the way as the unchanging center and a leader figure in everyone’s hearts♡

By the way* What kind of actor is Ryo Katsuji?

Acchan’s partner is actor Ryo Katsuji, 31 years old.

He has appeared in various hit works like the morning drama "Amachan" and the movie "Crows"

and is an actor known for his distinctive supporting roles*

Six months of dating* It was quite a speedy marriage!

Acchan and Katsuji met in the 2015 drama "Dokkyo Gaeru"*

In that drama starring Kenichi Matsuyama, Acchan played the love interest of the protagonist, while Katsuji portrayed a local police officer.

At that time, they were friends, but they began dating around early this spring and submitted their marriage registration on the auspicious day of July 30♡

It was a speedy marriage after just over six months of dating*

(Acchan looks happy on a hand-holding date with her husband♡)

By the way, it seems the two will also star together in the movie "Taberu Onna," which is set to be released this September♩

AKB members are sending their congratulations on social media♡

From her close friend Minami Takahashi♡

From Mariko Shinoda♡

From Tomomi Itano♡

From Rino Sashihara♡

Wishing Acchan much happiness♡

Since her teenage years, Acchan, a legendary member of AKB, has continued to bring dreams to many fans*

Overcoming various obstacles, Acchan's marriage to find happiness as a woman

is something I believe everyone in Japan is celebrating♡

While the wedding plan details have not yet been announced, she will surely look incredibly cute in her wedding dress...!

It will be exciting to see which wedding venue they choose, who will be invited, and what kind of ceremony they will have... I’m looking forward to their future plans♡

Wishing Ryo Katsuji and Acchan a long and happy life together, and I’m looking forward to her continued success as an actress!
