Through her official networks, the singer Nanako Nagasawa published the following statement regarding the rumors that haunt the Japanese media about her love life:
"I am sorry you found out this way, but as a weekly magazine reported, I, Nanako Nagasawa, have a love affair with a man and we plan to get married soon. Although I had known him for a long time, we actually started dating shortly after I graduated from the Keyakizaka46 group, and we are currently already committed to a wedding planned for the month of August. "
It was published on June 6 by the 23-year-old singer Nanako Nagasawa through her Instagram account. In fact, on the afternoon of June 3, Nagasawa, who had just graduated from the idol group Keyakizaka46 in March and had started her solo career, was caught by the Japanese media on a date with a man two years older.
The news greatly impacted one of her fans, who exploded in a Japanese forum criticizing her hasty decision to marry, which in the future will affect her career as an artist:
“Even if Nagasawa works twice as hard now, no matter how hard she tries to be an idol, if she has a man by her side she won't prosper. It is clear that in this industry it is much more efficient not to have a partner than to have one, especially in the case of women.
I don't like this, actually I love her too much. Do you understand my feelings? If the girl I like gets a partner, obviously I will be crazy. And this is not just the instinct of a man who likes a woman, but that of a fanatic towards his admired idol.
Indeed, it turns out that idols in Japan are celebrities who must face the stigma of being considered 'pure' by their fans to an extreme degree, so it is to be expected that indeed Nagasawa's marriage will have some important effect within his musical career.
