Popular Japanese actress Yui Aragaki, 32, and singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino, 40, who played lead characters in a 2016 popular TV drama, are set to marry, their agencies said Wednesday.
“We hope that we can support each other and accumulate prosperous time together,” the couple said a joint statement. In the drama “Nigeru wa haji daga yaku ni tatsu,” (running away is a shame but useful), the plot saw Aragaki and Hoshino as the couple entering into a contract marriage.

The two again co-starred in a sequel of the drama series aired in January. The theme song by Hoshino featuring the cast dancing the “Koi Dance,” meaning love dance, became a craze in Japan.
Hoshino is known for singing an opening theme song for the TV anime series “Doraemon.”
