Despite not being an idol, romance was forbidden for Ayana Taketatsu until age 30!
That may or may not be why she got married on her 30th birthday! I shared this on a reblog but thought it deserved its own post because of how ridiculous that is. Contract-bound or not, I would say that these people deserve their own lives. Everyone just accepts this as the norm, and I know it won’t be changing anytime soon, but I would like to think that people are starting to become more okay with someone they admire getting married.
The reaction by the seiyuu fandom based on the Discord server would indicate that everyone has just kind of accepted these facts.
“It’s Japan. We just shrug. // They do the same thing in Korea. // TBH they should’ve kept it to 40. (This user was muted for “saying dumb shit”) // It’s a business method. This isn’t the west. // You’re targetting single thirsty male otaku.”
Then it turned to a conversation of how she can have children past age 35 and if that’s a possibility. Meanwhile, my mom was 38 when she had me. My grandma had her 7th child past age 50. It shouldn’t be any of our business if she chooses to have a kid later in life with Kaji.
Anyways, I am really happy about this news, but I’m a bit disappointed by the fact that despite her huge success in the industry, she was still locked into that agreement that she couldn’t date until she was 30.
