▲miwa, Kosuke Hagino

The ace of the Japanese swimming world and the guitar woman who will appear in the red and white song club, the super couple was born.

According to Japanese media No. 8, the gold medalist in the men's 400-meter individual medley at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Kosuke Hagino (24 years old), is seriously dating Miwa (28 years old). The two men, whom they met in October of the previous year because of their work relationship, were like-minded in a show they shared as guests last year. According to a number of friends, the two became friends due to opportunities such as dinner, and the two developed a romantic relationship about 1 year ago. As athletes and entertainers, the love affair between the cheerful two attracts attention.

Haruno and Miwa met in October 2016. Two months after winning the gold, silver and bronze medals at the Rio Olympics, Haruno wrote on Instagram on the 11th of the same month that "Met Miwa on yesterday's nhk show!" Miwa is playing a choir competition. I was so nervous that I couldn't say anything..." (sic) In addition, photos taken at the work site were uploaded.

　

At that time, Miwa was just Haruno's "singer of longing", and the two reunited in the nhk "My Way" (which aired in March last year) recorded at the end of the same year, and they were like-minded. In the show, which Miwa hosted, Haruno, as an interviewee, talked about his views on "happiness."

Miwa, who is four years older than Haruno, is a close friend of Saro Takanashi (21), a bronze medalist in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics ski jumping event, and is no stranger to athletes. Although swimmers, writers and singers live in different worlds, they are very happy when they get happy results in competitions or red and white song parties, and they are very compatible with each other in such values, and they become partners in the dinner. After spending a happy time together, the two people who worked tirelessly were attracted by each other's serious gestures and developed a relationship about 1 year ago.

Hagino, who is expected by the swimming world, is like Phelps (33 years old) of the United States who won 23 gold medals at the Olympic Games, also known as "Japan Phelps". In the 400m individual medley at the London 2012 Olympics, he competed as a high school student and won the bronze medal. Broke the Japanese record at the 2016 Rio Olympics and won the gold medal. Looking forward to his gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Miwa, on the other hand, debuted in 2010 and appeared in the Red and White Song Festival for four consecutive years from 2013. For 8 years, he performed singing in 47 prefectures with a guitar and was a very successful female singer. In August of this year, the iconic black long straight was cut off and transformed into a short hair image. On the 22nd of this month, the national tour of "Miwa the Best" will begin, and I look forward to hearing miwa's love songs from her own experience in the future.

As a top athlete and popular singer, 2 people can share the pain and joy of recording or the results of popular songs. It is hoped that the "synergistic effect" of mutual respect and mutual discussion and contemplation between the two will be more brilliant in public and private. (Hanami/Translation)
