I happened to see a recent photo of Momoe Yamaguchi.
At the age of 65, she travels with her husband Tomokazu Miura, dressed plainly, and looks like a quiet year.
Netizens sighed: Walking the dog and shopping for vegetables is the happiest thing!
In the blink of an eye, the former Showa beauties have grown old, and a glimpse of the storm has become a gentle smile after the precipitation of the years, but occasionally turning out their photos at that time, netizens will inevitably ridicule: People at that time ate really well!
Faye Wong once sang in "Red Beans": When the scenery is seen through, maybe you will accompany me to see the long stream.
That year, Yamaguchi Momoe was 21 years old, and although she was already a Japanese national treasure, she insisted on retiring for no other reason than her husband.
In December 1972, in Japan's 5th "Birth of a Star" singing competition, Yamaguchi Momoe won the second place with "Carousel", and made his debut.
She was only 13 years old when she debuted, and she was in the prime of her cardamom years, but she was not a beautiful girl who was spoiled by her parents.
Her mother gave birth to Momoe Yamaguchi as a lover, and her father, who had abandoned her father from beginning to end, had always been a nightmare in her childhood.
At that time, no one knew that behind her bright and playful smile, the shadow shrouded by fate.
In May 1974, Momoe Yamaguchi received a job in the filming of a food advertisement, and he was paired with the newcomer Tomokazu Miura, who was launched.
When the handsome and sunny Tomokazu Miura first appeared in front of Momoe, she described her feelings as follows: "He was wearing a blue tracksuit at the time, and he was basically an athlete who came to the park to exercise. ”
In September of the same year, Tomokazu Miura stood out from many competitors and co-starred with Yamaguchi Momoe in Yasunari Kawabata's masterpiece "The Dancing Girl of Izu".
This is the first time the two have worked together in a movie, and it is also the first time that Momoe Yamaguchi has played the heroine in a movie.

After the release of "The Dancing Girl of Izu", it caused a strong response, and the fresh and refined Yamaguchi Momoe played the role of a dancer who was overwhelmed by fate.
At the age of 15, Momoe Yamaguchi quickly became popular and became a rising star in the Japanese film industry.
After becoming famous, Momoe Yamaguchi was like a spinning top that was constantly whipped, she said: "I am busy with work every day, and after I am busy with this, a new job comes to my door immediately, and I hardly have personal time." There was a time when I just sat in the car, and as soon as the car started, I wanted to sleep, and this voice still rang in my ears from time to time. The voice came from Tomokazu Miura, who said to me gently, 'Go to sleep, poor little one, you're tired.' In the haze, the sound of footsteps outside the car window faded away, but this sound was deeply rooted in my heart. ”
Lacking the care of her father since she was a child, Miura Tomokazu's delicate and considerate heart made her heartbeat.
The next year, the two co-starred in the movie "Chaosao" and became the "golden partner" in the entertainment industry. In the cooperation of talking to me all day long, the relationship between the two has gradually warmed up.
There is a shot of the two getting wet in the film, and after the filming, they hand each other a clean towel almost at the same time. The tacit understanding of the heart is better than the calcium carbide fire that meets the four eyes.
Life always seems to give people some grinding, and it was also that year that Momoe Yamaguchi experienced a lawsuit. In court, in the face of the criticism and humiliation of the opposing defense lawyer, she showed unimaginable maturity and stability, gave the other party a strong response, and finally won the lawsuit.
But a girl who has just 16 years old, no matter how strong she is, is helpless and frightened in the face of those despicable and oppressive by the wind, frost and sword.
As soon as Yamaguchi Momoe arrived home after the trial, he received a call from Tomokazu Miura, and the other end of the phone only gently asked, "Hey, how is it?" and Yamaguchi Momoe on the other end of the phone cried.
Not long after, Tomokazu Miura sang in a new song: "From the tip of my hair to the tip of my toes, everything is mine, and the little scars of my childhood, everything about you is to my liking......"
At that time, the sensitive media immediately realized that this was a song he sang to Momoe Yamaguchi——— and she had a small scar under her eyes.
Since then, their collaboration has become more frequent.
They not only filmed the film and television dramas "Blood Suspicion", "Swan Song", "Red Impact" and various commercials, but also gave interviews to entertainment magazines together. The two spend more than half of the year together.

In 1975, the Japanese drama "Blood Suspicion" was screened nationwide. 16-year-old Yamaguchi Momoe dressed in school clothes, smiling lightly, coupled with naughty and cute little tiger teeth, was popular in Japan for a while.

The confusing illness, touching family affection and pure and flawless love in the play have attracted hundreds of millions of viewers to wait by the TV every day.
When "Blood Suspicion" was broadcast in China in 1984, it set off a ratings boom and caused a huge sensation.

In the play, Sachiko, who she plays, suffers from blood cancer and finally dies in Mitsuo's arms.
There are only two kinds of goodbyes in the world, one is life and the other is death.
The theme song "Thank You from the Heart" expresses Sachiko's reluctance and gratitude to Mitsuo before her death:
How much time is there for me to have your love, and how much time is there for me to live by your side......
The love in the play is poignant and compassionate, and the two people outside the play are you and me.
The two have been working together for about 6 years, during which they have said "I love you" and "I like you" to each other hundreds of times.
Tomokazu Miura said in his memoirs: I was fascinated by her naïve and romantic childishness, at this time, the lines I love you, has gone beyond the scope of simulated love, in short, through the lens of the camera, we are not shy to carry out the confession of love, from a certain time, I believe, she also spoke to me in the same mood, therefore, we are "co-defendants".
The fake drama was really done, and the two developed from on-screen couples to real lovers.
After falling in love, the company wanted to forcibly separate the two in consideration of the image of the artist, but they were fiercely opposed by many fans, and they even formed a solidarity club, insisting that "Yamaguchi and Miura are the ideal couple!"
As the duo's image as the best "on-screen couple" is cemented, they are also more compatible in reality. It is this kind of love that makes Baihui say this to the media when his career is in full swing: "I hope to get married, have children, and live an ordinary life, this is my ideal." ”
In 1980, at the age of 21, Yamaguchi Baihui was already popular in Southeast Asia. But she chose to retreat bravely and bid farewell to the stage.
On October 5, Momoe Yamaguchi held her last concert at the Tokyo Budokan to bid farewell to tens of thousands of enthusiastic fans.
On that day, the huge martial arts hall was crowded with people, and the cheers one after another were surging like a tide. They called her name over and over again.
Yamaguchi Baihui, who appeared on the stage, wore a long skirt, like a white cloud, like a fairy.
In the last song "The Other Party of Goodbye", Yamaguchi Momoe couldn't help himself and burst into tears.
At the end of the song, with the tears and shouts of thousands of fans, she left the microphone on the stage forever and drifted away......
Leslie Cheung's farewell concert in 89, the last song is "The Wind Continues to Blow", which was adapted from "The Other Party of Goodbye":
In the movie "Manchu and Han Quanxi", Chen Gangsheng (played by Leslie Cheung) said that he was going to Canada to pursue his idol Yamaguchi Baihui, and the photo in the wallet was her jade photo.
In reality, Leslie Cheung is also a loyal fan of Yamaguchi Baihui.
Later, when mentioning the reason for his withdrawal from the entertainment industry, Yamaguchi Momoe said: "The reason why I quit is because in my 21 years of life, I met someone worthy of my cherishment for the first time. ”
When Momoe Yamaguchi's mother gave birth to her, her father had another wife and children. It is said that he once swore to Momoe Yamaguchi's maternal grandfather that he would "take full responsibility for it." ”
However, when Yamaguchi Baihui was born, his so-called "handling well" was nothing more than writing the word "claim" on the household register.
The father once plucked his daughter and left her to fend for herself.
After Yamaguchi Momoe became famous, he was entangled, fighting with his mother for "custody", and even borrowed money from the company as a parent. Yamaguchi Momoe refused to give in, so he held a press conference to denounce his daughter's various wrongs.
At the age of 17, Momoe Yamaguchi disowned his father with several million yen.
After experiencing fragmentation, we will understand and cherish the value of "wholeness" more. After his farewell concert, Momoe Yamaguchi was interviewed by the media for the last time as an artist.
"Do you really have no regrets about quitting the entertainment industry?"
Her answer was categorical: "Yes, no regrets. ”
Since then, the Japanese entertainment industry has lost a superstar, and a pair of "golden boys and girls" have also lost on the screen.
On November 19, 1980, Tomokazu Miura married the most beautiful bride in Japan——— Momoe Yamaguchi.
The two exchanged rings in the presence of the priest, and Yamaguchi Momoe's tears of happiness could not stop falling.
Tomokazu Miura got married under great pressure at the time, and before getting married, he received blades and letters of condemnation every day, and many fans were angry and took away the "dream lover" in their hearts.
Soon after, she published her autobiography "The Boundless Moment": "Now, he and I, under the tender care of many people, will begin to embark on a new beginning in life. At the same time, it is natural that since you are married, you will grow old. ”
After marriage, the Miura couple had their eldest son, Yutaro, and their second son, Ki Dajun.
In order for their children to have a simpler living environment, Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi have been doing their best to defend their privacy.
But the aura of superstars has kept them living in stalking, candid photography, and even pervasive harassment. Some media were willing to pay 100 million yen for a photo of the child, but they flatly refused.
Even she took her children to the hospital for vaccinations, and her mother-in-law took her grandson out for a walk, but they were blocked by media people who were fighting with open fire, and even some reporters squatted in front of her house for 5 years, just to take photos of their husband and wife's discord.
"Two years of singer redness" is an iron law in Japanese show business, but it does not apply to Yamaguchi Momoe at all. Since her retirement, there have been calls for her comeback.
But she said that if she retreated, she would retreat, and she had a sober mind and resolute courage to "don't want anything" than "what you want".
She once said in her autobiography, "My happiness is that I can say goodbye when my husband goes out, and when he comes back, he says, "You're back, I want to give my beloved a comfortable nest." ”
Momoe Yamaguchi, who became an ordinary housewife, maintained a harmonious family relationship, never quarreled, and was selected as the "most ideal couple" in Japan for many years.
On the 31st anniversary of Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi's marriage, Tomokazu Miura's autobiography "Xiangxu" was also officially released.
At the press conference, when asked what made their love so complete, Tomokazu Miura replied with the title of his autobiography: "It's fate (called 'phase sex' in Japanese'." ”
Tomokazu Miura disclosed in the book that the two made three vows after marriage: the first is that Tomokazu Miura quit smoking, the second is that he is not allowed to play tricks in life, and the third is that he cannot cheat.
Decades of married life confirm that they did. It is said that the paparazzi who have been guarding his door for so many years have not received a single piece of explosive news, and they always take affectionate photos of the two of them visiting the supermarket or walking.
On the occasion of the silver wedding in 2005, Tomokazu Miura said: "Without her, I really don't know how to spend my life! ”
Momoe Yamaguchi's statement is more poetic: "We also have unpleasant times, and no one can avoid friction in life." But we have a convention: take turns as angels. ”
On November 18, 2015, a Japanese insurance company announced the results of the "Best Celebrity Couple", and Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi, who celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary and were "coral weddings", won the "Ten Consecutive Championships" by an overwhelming margin.
They don't deliberately set an example. In "Phase", Tomokazu Miura writes a love letter to Momoe Yamaguchi. At the end of the love letter, Tomokazu Miura said, "Thank you, and please take care of me in the future." ”
The years are late, the temples have frosted, and the romance I can think of is to spend the rest of my life with you.
