Profile of Shohei Miura! An Unexpected Trigger for Entering Showbiz!
First, let's take a look at Shohei Miura’s profile.
Shohei Miura was born on June 3, 1988, in Chofu, Tokyo, and is currently 30 years old.
At the age of 19 in 2007, he entered the entertainment industry after winning the "Photogenic Award" and "Ideal Partner Award" at the "20th Junon Super Boy Contest."
Interestingly, he was scouted for this contest by an aunt he met while doing extra work, who applied for him without his consent. It’s common to hear stories about sisters or mothers applying on behalf of someone, but it’s rare for someone else's aunt to do so.
Indeed, if there's such a handsome guy, it might be hard not to apply on his behalf!?
The following year, in 2008, he made his acting debut as the student Shunsuke Kamiya in Nippon TV’s "Gokusen: Third Series."
After that, he appeared in many famous dramas and movies such as "Koisora," "The Last Message: Umizaru," "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e - Ikemen Paradise 2011," "Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai," and "Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto."
His sweet looks and occasionally mischievous expressions have captivated many women ♡
Profile of Mirei Kiritani! A Beauty Recognized Worldwide ♡
Next, let’s introduce Mirei Kiritani’s profile.
Mirei Kiritani was born on December 16, 1989, in Chiba Prefecture and just turned 29 years old.
She was scouted as the "Number One Beautiful Girl in Chiba" while a first-year high school student in 2005 and made her debut in the film "Haruno Ibasho."
The following year, she became an exclusive model for the fashion magazine "SEVENTEEN" aimed at junior high and high school girls, quickly becoming an idol for many teenagers ♡
Moreover, she was selected as a regular on the "Hayamimi Trend No.1" corner on "Mezamashi Television," displaying a wide range of activities from the very start of her career.
In 2010, she was featured on "Jonetsu Tairiku," and since 2012, she has served as a Tuesday anchor on "NEWS ZERO," expanding her recognition among older generations and becoming a national actress.
In addition, she was ranked 12th in 2012, 46th in 2013, and the highest-ranked Japanese at 8th in 2014 on the annual "100 Most Beautiful Faces" list by the American film site TC Candler!
She is indeed a beauty recognized worldwide ♡
So how did this couple meet and start dating?
The Couple Met on the Drama "Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto" ♡
Shohei Miura and Mirei Kiritani first met on the drama "Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto," which aired on Fuji TV’s Monday 9 PM slot from July 11 to September 19, 2016.
This was Mirei Kiritani's first lead role, in which she played the pastry chef Misaki Sakurai, who strives to fulfill her dreams.
Struggling after losing her job, Misaki is invited to work as a live-in pastry chef at the restaurant "Sea sons" by her admired senior, Chiaki Shibazaki. However, she discovers that two of Chiaki's younger brothers also live there…!? That is the summary.
The drama captures a girl's dream scenario of sharing a house with three handsome brothers.
In "Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto," Shohei Miura played the eldest brother, Chiaki.
In the final episode, Misaki, played by Mirei Kiritani, ties the knot with the second brother, Natsuki Shibazaki, who is portrayed by Kento Yamazaki.
In the drama, the two did not become a couple.
However, during filming, they grew closer and began dating after the shoot wrapped up ♡
It seems they took great care to keep their relationship private, as there are not many photos of the two together.
Nevertheless, photos from movie dates and of Shohei Miura walking Mirei Kiritani's pet dog appeared in weekly magazines, revealing their relationship to the public. At one point, it was said they lived in rooms across from each other in the same luxury apartment.
They submitted their marriage registration on July 24, 2018. Their dating period was likely just under two years.
Then, five months after their registration, they had their wedding ceremony in December 2018 ♡
The Ceremony Took Place Twice: in Hawaii and Japan ♡ Their Honeymoon is in the Maldives!?
Initially, Shohei Miura and Mirei Kiritani planned to have their ceremony in Hawaii in November.
However, due to Shohei Miura's involvement in "Legal V," they decided to hold the ceremony and reception in Tokyo in December. Popular actors are busy!
Still, since Mirei Kiritani dreamed of a Hawaii ceremony, they had a private ceremony in Hawaii during the week of her birthday to fulfill that dream.
Furthermore, they are reportedly heading to the Maldives for their honeymoon this year-end and New Year. Will they also have a post-honeymoon photoshoot? We hope to see it ♡
The Guests at the Wedding Were Remarkably Glamorous!
The wedding reception in Japan was not grand as per the couple's wishes, with only a limited number of close friends, benefactors from their work, and family attending. Still, about 200 members of the entertainment industry gathered for this luxurious reception.
TaKa, the vocalist of One OK Rock and a close friend of Shohei Miura, gave the toast, and Nobuhisa Murao, who was an anchor alongside Mirei Kiritani on NEWS ZERO, delivered a congratulatory address.
Other attendees included actors Kento Yamazaki and Shuhei Nomura, who co-starred in "Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto."
Being a big couple in the entertainment world, the glamorous guest list has also become a hot topic.

What About the Wedding Reception’s Performances? Any Outfit Changes?
At their wedding reception, performances related to the programs they were involved with reportedly took place.
A parody video of "NEWS ZERO" was shown, and a skit featuring the four lead members of "Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto," including the newlyweds, was performed.
We are very curious about the content of that skit ♡
For their outfit change, they switched from a tuxedo and wedding dress to traditional Japanese attire. The beauty of the couple in Japanese clothing reportedly amazed the guests.
Currently, details about which hotel hosted the event or which brand's dresses they wore have not been disclosed.
After the reception, the couple stated in a joint comment, "It became a day to realize once again that we are here thanks to the support of many people."
They renewed their resolve, saying, "We will continue to support each other while cherishing the gratitude we felt today."
