https://ameblo.jp/nigaki-risa/entry-12341678030.html
2018-01-05 19:00:15 NEW !I have a personal announcement I must make.
Me, Niigaki Risa, and Kotani Yoshikazu have divorced.
While our marriage lasted only a short one year and a half years, after discussing it we both came to the conclusion that it would be better if we went our separate ways in life. I am very sorry for worrying everyone who was happy for us as well as all those who supported us.
While we will be going our separate ways, I would be happy if you could continue watching over us. I hope to have your support.
January 5, 2018
Niigaki Risa

It was for real…
I guess the guy just didn’t do it for her.

While I did think they would get divorced eventually, I didn’t think it would happen this fast. (laughs)

She’d been very obviously losing weight as of late.

A lot of people are getting on her case for their marriage lasting only a year and some, but it’s really no big deal. This girl I know from next door married into a family and came back home the very next day to file for divorce.

Even though they spent so much time together, it’s a whole different story now in 2018…

I’m glad it happened before they had a child.
There’s still plenty of time to start over.

Why get divorced right at the beginning of a new year? Wouldn’t it have been a good place to stop at the end of the year instead?
120: 名無し募集中。。。 2018/01/05(金) 19:07:47.65 0.net
It’s not like you can get divorced at the snap of a finger. They must’ve started talking about it over half a year ago. When was it that the two hung out with Ikuta?
19. ℃-uteな名無しさん 2018年01月06日 10:29 id：E.SaH17j0
Even though he appeared on her Insta story on Couple’s Day… I can’t help but wonder what on earth could have happened between them in December? Well, their divorce was the end result of all the times they’d spent together leading up to it, so I’m sure no one but those two could ever understand. But if it means Gaki-san will be able to enjoy her life again, then this was for the best.

Well, this can’t be helped.
The value of a man is measured by his ability to earn a living.

No matter how much two people love one another, there’s gong to be a strain on your relationship if there’s not enough money.

I, too, got divorced after less than a year when my wife found out I was cheating on her. Could it be the same thing with this guy…?

Perhaps it’s the case that the biggest sign of a harmonious relationship is how Abe does it — that is, by not talking about it at all.

So Gaki-san gets divorced and yet Fujimoto lives in harmony…

Well, Shouji is the type who likes being dominated so he has great compatibility with someone like Mikitty. Rather than marrying someone who’s exactly like you, it’s always the relationships with a clear power balance that work out the best.
4. カラフル名無しさん 2018年01月06日 08:00 ID:.2YYDL490
Mikitty has a strong character, and as for Ai-chan… while she makes more money than her husband, she is also emotionally able to depend on him so I feel like their relationship has a good balance, too.
Meanwhile, Gaki-san is much more emotionally stable. It could be that in order for anyone to make Gaki-san happy, they’d need to surpass her in some other way.

Wow. I think you’re right on the money.
10. ℃-uteな名無しさん 2018年01月06日 02:29 id：1v94Zf0N0
I wonder why she even got married in the first place? Did the thought of “is he really the right person for me?” not pass through her mind even once? We’re living in a society where image is practically everything — there are cases when a divorce is pretty much fatal. Did she get married knowing that that was the risk she was taking? And if so, why would she get divorced a mere year or so afterwards?

Get a little more life experience yourself and you’ll be able to understand, too.

I’ve always thought of marriage as something you should only do when the time is right. That’s what I personally did, too. It was to the point where people around us were constantly asking us why we hadn’t gotten married yet. But I thought of my wife as family before we even got married, and it’s because I did that I decided I actually wanted to marry her. If you only like someone, why not just be girlfriend and boyfriend? To me, if it’s family we’re talking about, I simply couldn’t see myself severing a connection like that after a mere year.
16. ℃-uteな名無しさん 2018年01月06日 08:05 id：SvCzcMwO0
They married because they felt they’d be happier if they were married.
They divorced because they felt they’d be happier if they were divorced.
That’s probably all it was really.
5. ℃-uteな名無しさん 2018年01月06日 00:39 id：mzEQoEtf0
Well, to be honest, Gaki-san’s married life had no sense of reality to begin with. It was for the best that they broke up. Rather than becoming all worn-out from domestic troubles down the line, it’s much more preferable that she was able to get away with just a little bit of “wear” on that baby face of hers before even turning 30. That suits Gaki-san way better.
17. ℃-uteな名無しさん 2018年01月06日 09:43 id：1KmdkNdR0
It’s like… there was this thing about their relationship that felt like Gaki-san was saying, “Look how obviously in love we are! Look how I’m now doing what I couldn’t in my teens!” I feel like maybe their love was just burning too intensely. People tend to have strong opinions about these “speed divorces,” but when you look at the long term, in most cases it’s much better to just get it over with quickly before either party develops any deep, long-lasting wounds.

This is what happens when you don’t have enough experience in love before getting married.
2. ℃-uteな名無しさん 2018年01月06日 00:18 id：Iuj5V3uo0
While it’s too bad it happened, it’s experiences like this that lead to personal growth.
4. ℃-uteな名無しさん 2018年01月06日 00:36 id：uhjyeP.j0
I hope she’ll somehow be able to find happiness again.

All the best to Gaki-san.
Henkka: Man, when these two made their marriage announcement… I’ll put it this way: from the moment she set eyes on him, my wife was most definitely not a fan of Gaki-san’s husband. She was just mortified when she saw those first pictures of them together. She thought it was such a waste. “Why, Gaki-san? You could’ve done so much better…” She couldn’t quite say what it was, but there was seemingly something about him that just didn’t sit right with her on a deeper level.
When my wife wakes up from her nap in an hour or so and I deliver her the news, I’m going to make sure to enjoy the awful, perversely satisfied smile she will surely have on her face.
I’m sorry, Gaki-san. And congratulations.

I’m sure that will be or rather was a lovely view.
Ai needs to divorce and so they can marry and be happy together
Keeping a viable marriage when both partners are in the same very demanding industry is tough. When I was in the US Army, I saw career Soldiers get married and face serious issues. The choice seemed to be for both to go full tilt with their careers and wind up often thousands of miles apart with the marriage as an afterthought or one would modify career goals then develop serious resentment. Saw it work fine occasionally, but not very often…
Another Jordan Peterson clip incoming…
Although, to be completely honest, I’m glad I didn’t see this video when I was younger. While I now recognize the level of commitment that goes along with a decent marriage — and man, does accepting it make married life that much more fulfilling and worthwhile — at that age the thought of taking on any level of responsibility at all would’ve turned me off from the idea of marrying anyone.
It was really only after discovering Jordan Peterson that I actually understood why one might even think to get married in the first place. It didn’t make any sense to me before that.
I think their love might have burnt a bit too fast. They were super clingy, basically glued to each other. They probably got sick of each other after a while.
Then again, as others have mentioned, showbiz is hard and they probably didn’t have much time for each other when they weren’t taking tons of selfies together. Then that he’s a bit older than her (6 years I think?) – Gaki in her late 20ies might want to focus on her career, while her soon ex-husband in his mid 30ies might have wanted a family. And Japan usually puts most of that desire on the wife.
There are lots of reasons to consider, it’s not always something horrible like cheating on each other or coming to hate the other. It’s good that they decided on it so quickly, before they had children.
I love how so many people have such strong opinions and certitudes regarding Gaki’s private life. Even I have seen all the pics she posted on Instagram, I still don’t know what their private life was, and I will probably never know why they divorced.
That said, it means Gaki is available again. YEAH! (I know, I don’t have a chance, but let me dream a bit).
Gaki should just stay single for awhile, if shes gets lonely just let Eripon move in lol
Jordan Peterson is a very smart prick. I do not agree with half of what he said above (or ever).
Parts of what he says make some sort of sense. But you have to pass through the bitter-old-guy-shoot-in-all-directions rant first.
Well I don’t follow Gaki, but when so many people think divorce was to be expected then something is definitely not working, maybe Gaki actually didn’t date while she was an idol so when she fell in love she though he was the one and after getting married she realized that love is not enough, well whatever the reason I’m glad they did it before having children, hoping the best for Gaki!!
So most people think it’s about money huh.. Damn.. If those entertainer don’t have enough money to go by.. I wonder what will happen to me who lost a job..
I guess in the end, if you’re thankful and content a dollar will feel like a million and if you’re not.. Even a million won’t be enough
I think it might be about booty.
Kotani Yoshikazu was in Kamen Rider Agitou along with Akiyama Rina and was scarred for life. Now no other female butt can measure up (not even Gaki-san’s).
sad that it happened, probably married earlier than they should have before they got to know each other better.
So, instead of engaging in cheap speculations, I have been checking Gaki’s blog.
Last entry with her ex was November 23, celebrating Couple’s day (what an irony!). Previous to last entry, October 23, celebrating her birthday (not just with him, but with other staff members. No entry with the two of them alone on her birthday). But between those two dates (November 3), Gaki went to Disneyland wearing some weird, excessive blue make-up on her upper left cheek. What happened to her face that she needed to cover up? Has he been beating her up?
That, and the fact that she just painted her nails black after the Golden Globes, and Ai-chan sending her a very supportive message with the hashtag #YouToo, and suspicions get reinforced.
But those are not solid proof evidences. I might be on to something, or completely off the mark just as well.
So the girl who is getting a looker is divorcing.
Didn’t everybody think he was gay before he suddenly married Gaki?
Maybe he is and changed his mind about keeping face?
If that’s the case, then it’s my headcanon that they’re both gay and Gaki was seeing Ai-chan, whose marriage is the same arrangement ^_~
Word is that HE was super clingy, always wanting her to constantly text where she was when they were apart. My personal suspicion is that he couldn’t keep up with her when they were drinking. :)
Omame I believe one day you will meet someone that he can take care of you and belong with you forever. Don’t give up with loving. Don’t judge every man will be the same. I’m your Big FaN and still be forever.
