RENI announced her marriage.
Today, MCZ's RENI announced her marriage to Shingo Usami, a regular catcher for the Nippon-Ham Fighters professional baseball team.
He is 29 years old, the same age as RENI.
He joined the Yomiuri Giants in 2016 and was traded to the Nippon Ham Fighters in 2019.
This season, he played in 81 games and hit .256 batting average.
RENI commented that they have been dating for two years.
Shingo USami has long been known as an enthusiastic mononofu.
RENI also said that MCZ will continue its activities as before.
The members made the following comments about RENI's marriage
KANAKO:
Congratulations on your marriage, Reni-chan!
We have talked a lot about the future, and I am really, really deeply moved that such a day will actually come.
I'm sure you will make a bright family because you are always happy.
I wish you all the best in the future.
SHIORI:.
Congratulations on your marriage, Reni-chan.
We started the group when I was in junior high school, and I never thought that the day would come when I would hear such a happy report, it is very emotional.
Recently, when we make a big announcement, fans say, "Marriage? We are now at an age where people say, "Marriage?
Even so, this is finally the first marriage for the group and for the members.
I am very much looking forward to what kind of future awaits us.
I wish you happiness, Reni-chan.
AYAKA:.
I am just as surprised as everyone else at Mononofu.
When the members are happy, I am also happy, so I am really happy.
I'm sure that Mononofus will give you many blessings since you are Reni-chan.
I'm sure she'll make a wonderful wife, since she's always so kind and supportive of the group.
I was really happy when she told us that we would continue to be Momoclo even after marriage.
I hope I can continue to show you the same Momoclo together with Reni-chan.
I wish you and your husband a long and happy life together.
Comments
Today, a website called "Cyzo woman" published an article comparing MOMOKA and RENI.
It speculated that the reason for the mononofus' sensitivity in the case of MOMOKA was "because fans suspected that Momoka's husband might have "arranged" for her to leave Momoclo at that time."
I think it is good to have various different opinions, but from a domestic perspective, I don't think the situation is as you suggest.
While there is certainly criticism in some quarters, the majority is full of support and celebration.
The Youtube video of RENI's announcement was filled with congratulatory comments from the moment of the announcement.
Mononofus are all aware that MCZ has almost equal number of fans among the four (previously five) members.
It's not that RENI isn't popular.
Please try to count the colors of the psylliums or mononofus uniforms in the video of the live concert.
By the way, the difference between Kanako and Reni on Instagram is 105,000 followers (296,000 vs 191,000), Shiori (235,000) is also above Reni. Ayaka (133,000) opened her account most recently, you can't compare.
Finally, in the Western we are outraged by hypocrisy, and I think it's hypocritical to celebrate Reni and destroy Momoka. It's exactly the same situation, hiding a 2-year relationship for fear of their fans, but if Reni stays in the group they say: "ok, congratulations", Momoka left the group to be with her husband and they say: " traitor!" That's illogical.
