Waaa.... medetai hanashi jyannn! I love their pairing so much in OOKU! I ship Tsunayoshi-Emonnosuke hard, but never think of Sakai Masato and Miho would ever date each other in real life, cause I'm forever a Goro-Miho shipper >_<
Miho's agency said, "We heard about that. They are currently getting ready to register their marriage in early April. After they register, we will officially announce it once again.". Sakai's agency said, "We heard. There's no mistake about the news,". They had only been dating for 3 months before they decided to get married. The media stated that Miho is NOT pregnant.(but I won't be surprised if there's gonna be a correction of that statement next month, lol) and that Miho will continue her career as an actress normally, nothing would change in her job.
Waa, Sakai-Miho crashed 2 OTPs of mine: Inagaki Goro - Kanno Miho and Sakai Masato - Miyazaki Aoi XDDD Heee... Sakai-Aoi dou nanooo.... cause I believe Aoi really likes him and that's why she got a divorce (but oops I forgot she's currently dating Okada V6 now hehe).
So here's the chronology of Sakai - Miho - Goro's love triangle, gathering infos from official reports and unofficial rumors:
(and to think Goro and Sakai has acted together in a drama titled 'Triangle', hehe)
August 2008: Goro-Miho breakup news.
January 2010: Goro-Miho reconciliation news. Goro made a statement on TV denying the reconciliation, and when he was asked "So you never go for a meal with her again?", Goro said "Amari nai ne (not much)... but well, I hope there's a good news I can tell to mina-san next time.." Like he was hoping for a reconciliation himself.
October 2010: Goro-Miho appeared together in a TV show, but they seated far away. A few fans said that Karasawa Toshiaki mentioned in a small voice, "Her ex-boyfriend is right there," but I totally didn't catch that moment XD
July 2011: In Nakai's Kurobara TV show, Goro said "I've never met a woman whom I think I want to marry with"
October 2011: In "Tamori-Nakai Tebura de ii noni", the topic was about romance, she said "Fight happens because of men's fault... men are too indecisive,". However some opinions also say, maybe she was just trying to make the atmosphere lively.
December 2011-January 2012: Sakai Masato met and fell in love with Kanno Miho on OOKU-EIEN set, he made aggressive moves toward Miho, but Miho is the type who would only focus on her job, so she didn't give any respond
June 2012: Goro and Miho were seen together in front of a building, having a fight, and some people saw them. Before that, Goro-Miho were also seen together at a golf course. Just few days ago, a rumor article says that even after they broke up in 2008, Goro made attempts by conveying his intention to start over with Miho, to Miho's closest people. They had meals together a few times, but Miho always refused his request to get back together again.
December 2012: Sakai and Miho met again for Ooku promos, and he was being aggressive again pursuing Miho. Finally Miho noticed him and responded.
March 2013: Sakai and Miho's marriage announcement news.
I feel sorry for Sakai-san, if he's just a rebound. What I'm worried abt the most, is that Miho made a rash decision. As much as I love and respect Sakai Masato very much, and think his matureness is very well-suited for Miho's childish attitude, I can't be sincerely happy about this news, knowing Sakai might have to be in the middle of Goro-Miho's complicated relationship.
I hope there's a press conference, so I can confirm that Miho is genuinely happy >_< If that's really the case, I will start shipping Sakai-Miho^^
And wait till the right woman for Goro, comes. But I imagine he'd play around with women until he's 50, lol. To be honest, people keep saying about Nakai not being able to get married... but for me, Goro is the #1 person I can't imagine as a husband, even when he was with Miho... for Nakai... I can totally imagine him as Nakama's husband, lol. (maybe because of Kai)
Back when I was a Shingo-Yuko shipper, there was a rumor that Takeuchi Yuko was dating Sakai and has introduced him to her son. And I thought... waaa... Shingo-Yuko-Sakai triangle... Then when Sakai was acting as Nakama's husband in Bushi no Kakeibo and saw how compatible they look with each other, I got worried for nothing... waa... what if Sakai-Nakama attracted to each other and get married??
Haha... didn't expect, it's finally Sakai and Miho XD
Goro will have stage greetings in early April for his movie with Hirosue Ryoko. I'm expecting some mentions and his comment abt Miho's marriage, though he might go with 'no comment' if he's asked. (Yonekura Ryoko, Ichikawa Ebizo's ex was asked to make a comment in an event, when he got married to Kobayashi Mao, and she was all "I think it's great, I'm really happy for him" hehe, wonder if Goro can say the same)
