Japanese media recently reported that Mako and Kei Komuro left New York City and moved to the suburbs, and now their new life has gradually settled down.
Last fall, the media found that the house of the two in downtown New York had been rented out, and then "no news", which even triggered speculation that the two disappeared mysteriously.
Various gossip tabloids tried their best to track the whereabouts of the two, and the Japanese media described the scene at that time: The streets of New York were like the search sites of internationally wanted criminals.
At that time, some media said that the two had moved into a large mansion in a high-end residential area in the suburbs of New York, renting a house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and also equipped with a children's room, and it was said that the landlord was still a Chinese couple.
But later it turned out that the two did not seem to be living in the house of the Chinese landlord.
Now, Japan's "Women's Seven" has published an article again, reporting the whole picture of the new life of the two.
The monthly rent of the house where the two live is about 23,000 yuan, the interior decoration is a unified Nordic style, the kitchen and bathroom are large, and the furniture is also very complete, impeccable.
It is worth mentioning the luxurious common areas with tables, chairs, barbecue supplies and other equipment, as well as a gym and a large heated swimming pool for the owners to use.
The new house is 1 hour drive from where Kei Komuro works. This area is a "satellite town" of New York and is popular with families with children, and the security situation is good.

According to real estate sources, this entire area is about an hour's drive from all locations in downtown New York, and it is easy to go to work and school, and the rent is relatively cheap compared to Manhattan, so it is especially popular with families who want to live in a larger house.
Recently, there have been many young elites who have chosen to move over, and there are areas with many high-end apartments nearby, as well as quiet residential areas, so you can choose freely.
In addition, there are many restaurants in the area, and there are many Japanese restaurants. The clerk at a nearby coffee shop interviewed said that Mako often came to pack food to take away, and her favorite was the 19 yuan macaron.
The media speculated that Kei Komuro's annual income was about 6 million yen (about 280,000 yuan) when he first went to the United States, and it rose to about 40 million yen (about 1.88 million yuan) after he finally passed the law exam and became a lawyer.
In addition, the two of them have changed their jobs, Mako no longer works at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Kei Komuro can drive to and from the city, so it is quite suitable to choose to live here.
The media also captured the recent situation of the two.
After 9 p.m. at the end of March, the main road was already sparsely populated, and Mako appeared in casual attire, still in a cozy tone that was completely opposite to the royal era.
Kei Komuro was dressed in formal attire, and both of them carried large bags of luggage, and walked slightly tired into the Chinese restaurant in the shopping mall.
The waiter at the Chinese restaurant described the two as follows: "Two people often come to eat together, and they usually come late. ”
The couple shared back pot meat and rice together. Kei Komuro is the type who moves chopsticks like crazy, and Mako will look at such a husband with a complicated expression on her face and talk to him intermittently. ”
In the eyes of gossip reporters, Kei Komuro, who is proud of the spring breeze, and Mako, who is in a complicated mood, are in strong contrast:
Before Kei Komuro came ashore, Mako was the "strong party" in the relationship. Now that Kei Komuro is in financial power, Mako has not found her own way, and this "identity reversal" may become a turning point in the relationship between the two...
With the advent of the law examination and the stabilization of his work at a law firm in New York, Kei Komuro seems to be going to become the "sweet and sweet" that the firm focuses on cultivating.
In late February, Kei Komuro appeared at the law firm where he currently works. A person related to the firm said that a lot of business has been docking with Japanese companies recently, and Kei Komuro has been mobilized to run around in order to sign a large order.
The firm is a member of Nippon Society, a non-profit organization that aims to exchange cultural relations between Japan and the United States, and many of the participating companies are Japanese-owned companies or American companies that have developed in Japan, and many of them are major companies such as Toyota, Mitsubishi Corporation, and Nippon Steel.
It is said that the purpose of the office is to allow Komuro to participate in regular exchange events and to obtain contracts from Japanese companies. From the perspective of the firm, it may be inexplicable that Kei Komuro has been touched: the newcomer in the workplace is actually a well-known horse master in Japan, and there is no need to use this heat in vain.
In addition, this exchange group also has some ties to the Japanese imperial family, and the media has begun to speculate that if the talks go well, the day when Kei Komuro will serve as an adviser to Japan's big companies is not far off.
On the other hand, Mako's career plan is not very smooth. She didn't go any further after working on a project at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and now she's leaving Manhattan, a far cry from her dream career path.
"This is the first setback in Mako's life. Shattered by her dreams and forced to leave Manhattan, she was depressed and almost closed in her luxurious new home. ”
Even so, there is no one around Mako who can confide in her situation, and the relationship with her mother's family, the Akishinomiya family, seems to be still very cold to this day.
"It seems that I don't even have communication with Akishinomiya and Princess Aiko. The only person who can be contacted should be Princess Yoshiko, but Princess Yoshiko inherited her official duties from Mako and has been dedicated to the activities of the royal family, and the distance between the two may be further than before. ”
On the one hand, it's a real child who is idle and panicked without work.,On the other hand, Kei Komuro, who is chased by work and lives an irregular life.。 It is difficult for any couple in this situation not to have a certain level of estrangement.
"For Mako, who has always been dominant, the current situation is quite unwilling. My self-confidence in career development has been destroyed, and there is no one to discuss...
If Kei Komuro doesn't talk to Mako more after a busy job, it wouldn't be surprising that the isolated life at home has caused a rift between the two. ”
Another speculation is that the 33-year-old may be planning for her future pregnancy and preparing for a new family member.
Married life has entered two and a half years, Kei Komuro's work has gradually been on the right track, and having a baby seems to be a natural thing. And once Mako is confirmed to be pregnant and has a child, it will increase the likelihood of returning to China.
The premise of this speculation is that the media has captured Mako consulting a doctor.
"Mako has been thinking about having children in the future, and she has also consulted with an authoritative doctor who treats infertility. Renting this area may also be due to the fact that you are raising children in the future, and the surrounding facilities in this area are attractive. ”
However, at the moment, Mako herself has never publicly expressed her intentions, and no media has found out the details of the pregnancy preparation, so this speculation cannot be confirmed.
However, speculation about Mako's return to China is rampant, and relevant people from the Imperial Household Agency mentioned the reason why Mako had to return to China: Princess Yoshiko, who is about to turn 30 years old, was rumored to be married, and his younger brother Prince Yuhito will officially come of age in September this year.
Considering the sisterhood with Yoshiko in the past, and the fact that the royal family must hold wedding disclosure banquets in Japan according to the usual practice, Mako may have to return to Japan. As for whether Kei Komuro will return to Japan with Mako, it is not yet known.
Of course, regardless of whether the return to China is true or not, most of the recent moths of the Japanese imperial family are true.
Last Friday, the Japanese media was still shouting, and the people wanted to see "Emperor Aiko" more than "Emperor Yuhito". Princess Aiko's appearances in recent public events have frequently brushed up her favor, and her speech style of stabilizing the overall situation is also admirable.
In comparison, Prince Yuhito, who is almost an adult, is a little stumbling. It was previously revealed that he plagiarized a large part of the works of the Children's Literature Award in 2021, and at the end of last year, he was scolded by public opinion for co-publishing an academic paper with a scholar specializing in dragonflies at the National Museum of Nature and Science.
The 17-year-old boy beat a well-known scholar to sign the "first author" of the paper, and few people believe that it is not a royal privilege.
Yuren's current route focuses on a "mom and dad take care of you, life is worry-free", firmly stand up to the "dad mom bao man" character design, and make a judgment with your son.
On the other hand, the Japanese royal family's recent pro-people propaganda is also a bit confusing. First of all, Aiko's family opened an INS account for the first time to break the image of seclusion, although they have gained 900,000 fans in more than half a month, they have been complained that the public relations traces are too heavy, and it is more like being forced to operate.
And then Concubine Ji next door sent a press release to create a thrifty character who is close to the people, digging wild vegetables, picking radish leaves, turning off the lights and saving electricity... As a result, he was frantically complained, and he used to overhaul the palace with billions of national taxes without reflection, but now he has begun to engage in pro-people tactics in a trivial manner, and the outrageous marketing is somewhat problematic.
The royal family has been complained about so much, so it seems that it is the best policy for Mako and Kei Komuro to stay in New York and enjoy life.
Although there are speculations and rumors about "discord between husband and wife", "frustration in career planning", and "Mako is afraid of returning to China", after all, it is still something that can be solved by the two of them together, and it is still much better than the royal life of "caged birds".
Now that you've fled the royal family, don't go back and worry about these bad things...
