Rimi Ishihara (C) Nikkan Hyundai
The TV series Deeply in Love (Nippon Television), starring Rimi Ishihara (34), ended airing on June 9. This is her first starring work since the end of last year and married a man outside the circle, and many fans are looking forward to seeing Ishihara's further acting skills, but the ratings continue to be sluggish, and finally ended dismal.
"When actresses get married, fans' expectations of them will also change. In this sense, this TV series is very important to Ishihara. Fans were expecting her change, but Ishihara still couldn't get out of his old impression. In the end, it feels like the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. (Entertainment writer Hiroshi Kazuki)
Yui Niigaki (33), who married Hoshino Gen (40 years old) the other day, is also an actress who has been criticized for "acting only one way", but her constantly challenging attitude is still very useful to many people.
"Niigaki first challenged the role of mother in last year's TV series "White Paper on Spoiled Girls Youth", and earlier this year in "Escape from Shameful but Useful New Year SP!! " challenged the production drama. In addition, he married Hoshino. The first work after Niigaki's marriage was the NHK Okawa TV series "13 People of Kamakura-den", which is not low in difficulty, but most people are encouraging. (Koseki Kazuki)
"Matching couple" can resonate with the audience

Another person, Keiko Kitagawa (34), is also a name that is often mentioned when she is complained about as "an actress who only has one way to act.". But in the ongoing episode of "Divorce Campaign" (TBS TV), Kitagawa's acting skills were praised in both the comedy part and the serious part.
After marrying DAIGO in 2016, Kitagawa is no longer a simple good-looking actress. Talking about the couple's private life on a variety show can make the audience feel that she is very intimate, which gives her the qualities that a female comedian needs. "Divorce Activity" can be said to be a perfect fit for Kitagawa's current image. (People involved in tv drama production)
What Niigaki and Kitagawa have in common is that they marry well-known artists, and they are also couples who are widely regarded as "two are very compatible". Matsusaka Momori (32) and Toda Eiri (32), who married at the end of last year, are of the same type. In contrast, is the case of Ishihara, which is slightly different.
"At the beginning, everyone was very receptive to the fact that Ishihara's marriage partner was a man outside the circle. However, with the continuous emergence of information such as elite white-collar workers graduated from UTokyo and an annual income of 50 million yuan, the public can neither have a sense of intimacy, nor can they see each other's looks, and can only leave the impression of upper-class people. It may be that Ishihara wants to continue to maintain his previous image, but although Ishihara still appears in advertisements, variety shows and various activities as often as before, it should be difficult for same-sex audiences to resonate with him. (Tv series producer of private TV station)
Recently announced her marriage, Katopan Kato Ayako (36) is still doing well. Female artists such as Natsumi (32) and Yuai Shinkawa (27), who marry men outside the circle, would not have been able to increase their workload if they had not increased their favorability because of their marriage. If an actress does not choose a good choice of marriage partner, it will be difficult to maintain her popularity. (Cang Yu /Translation)
