A Sunday in early October when the lingering summer heat continues. There was a couple in a supermarket in Tokyo.
“Let’s eat paprika ♡” “How regarding baby leaf?”
A macho man who nods repeatedly to a woman who speaks to her with a sweet, sweet voice.
The woman circled around in front of the display shelf, stared at the man with upturned eyes, and then poked her armpit from behind.
The next morning, this innocent maiden was reading the news to viewers all over the country with a soft voice. her name isErina Arai(32).Popular No.1freelance announceris.
“In the TV appearance ranking for the first half of 2022 announced by M Data Co., Ltd., she ranked 12th, alongside Chidori Nobu. She is by far the most popular female announcer. ), and on Saturdays, “Information 7DAYS Newscaster” (TBS).I have no days off except Sundays.” (entertainment reporter)
How to spend precious Sundays of “selling” is as described at the beginning. Arai left home with a man at noon, finished shopping at the supermarket, and went straight to a friend’s house. After that, with friends of the same generation,boyfriendI enjoyed a home party with “accompanied”.
“My boyfriend, A-kun, is a very ordinary office worker. Her favorite face isOkada Jun’ichiMr., but the only similarity is muscle (laughs). She has a simple face with kind eyes and is a reserved and tolerant type. We are together on holidays, and sometimes A-kun goes to work from her house the next day.almostcohabitationIt’s a state. Maybe it’s too small for just two people, so there’s a plan to move to a bigger house.” (Arai’s acquaintance)
On another Sunday, this magazine witnessed Mr. A buying coffee from Arai at a convenience store and picking him up at Arai’s house.Afterwards, the two took a taxidatingIt disappeared ahead.
Mr. A, who seems to be quietly watching over “her”, and Arai, who is spoiled by him. I wonder if the goal is near because they are so friendly.
I asked the affiliated office regarding the relationship between Arai and Mr. A, but there was no answer by the deadline.
Therefore, I interviewed Arai’s surroundings, but Mr. A’s existence was covered by an “iron curtain”.
“I’ve never heard of having a boyfriend.” (Sports newspaper reporter)
“It’s a complete mystery.loveI hear it’s more work…” (program staff)
“When it comes to Ms. Arai, it’s a common belief that she doesn’t have a boyfriend because she’s too busy with work.
It was a leak of a certain image.
“In 2013, right following my debut, a photo of me kissing my ex-boyfriend from college was circulating on the internet. She took a break from the announcer business for three months.Since then, she has thoroughly hidden her love affairs so that they do not leak out to the people around her.”(Same as above)
In fact, Arai has made many negative remarks regarding love in the program, such as “if you fall in love, you’ll get dumped” and “the lifestyle (with men) doesn’t match”.
“However, it seems that he’s changed his mind recently. When he appeared on former badminton player Reiko Shiota’s YouTube channel in July, Arai said that he’s been studying romance by watching how-to videos recently. It seems that he learned that “When you want to go, you need to properly invite him and face him sincerely.” (Entertainment reporter)
Does it mean that “Tsuntsun” is also the result of studying? Be happy with your macho boyfriend!
