37-year-old Japanese national wife Yui Aragaki, who married singer Gen Hoshino in 2021 after co-starring in the drama series 'We Married as a Job,' has deliberately reduced her workload since marriage. Recently, her 14-year-long chocolate endorsement was also taken away, with 24-year-old Chinese-Japanese mixed actress Natsuki Deguchi starring in the new series of ads instead, which sparked speculation. There are even rumors that Aragaki and Gen Hoshino are planning a joint retirement.
Aragaki has taken on fewer acting projects in recent years; after starring in the film 'Diary of a Stranger' and voicing the animation 'Your Colors' last year, she has had no new works released this year. Her endorsements have also dropped from a peak of nine to just three currently. Her husband Gen Hoshino has revealed in recent years that he feels frustrated with life. His TV program, which he hosted for eight years, ended earlier this year. Just recently, on the 19th of this month, he concluded his first Asia and Japan tour in six years, and at the finale concert, he said 'Goodbye' to fans, different from his usual 'See you next time!' After getting married, there were also rumors that the couple planned to move to the US, sparking heated discussions among netizens once again.
