I just turned 30, “she said
Faced with others’ confusion, she continued to echo, “People always remind me, ‘You’re 30 years old.’
Or often asked, ‘You’re already 30 years old, aren’t you considering getting married?’
Facing other questions such as’ Don’t you want children? ‘and’ What about life planning? ‘
She felt puzzled, ‘Does it have to be a different person just because someone is over 30 years old?’
Lin Xiu responded, “Japanese society does often exert unnecessary pressure on women
Takahata Shigenobu shared something that made her feel relieved:“I once had dinner with a Japanese living in Britain, who told me that the Japanese would face the pressure of choice at the age of 30, while the British did not until they were 40.”
She also suggested to me, ‘You’re still young, you can try more things you like.’
This made Takahata Shigeki ponder deeply, “Even if you encounter setbacks, there is no need to be afraid
Lin Xiu also added, “This may be due to the fact that after World War II, the average life expectancy of women was only about 60 years, so 30 years old was considered the midpoint of life. However, now people should consider a long-term life of 100 years
Many 30-year-old friends around him also feel anxious.
Everyone seems eager to get married, “she said.
However, Takahata Shigenobu believes that finding the right person to marry is certainly a good thing, but she thinks it’s not worth getting married just because of age.
After all, we still have 70 years to live
In the program, Lin Xiu asked her, “So if you find a suitable partner, would you also be willing to get married
Takahata Shigenobu smiled and said, “The premise is that someone is willing to marry me
The host then encouraged, ‘I’m sure many people are willing!’
However, Takahata Shigenobu spoke frankly: “In fact, the job of an actor is not easy, often having to work day and night in reverse, with irregular working hours, and may even need to shoot love scenes with unfamiliar men
Finally, she said with a hint of humor, “Is there really someone like this who wants to marry me
This conversation is straightforward and authentic, showcasing Takahata Tomohiro’s attitude towards marriage to the fullest extent.
Now, although her marriage news is unexpected, it is not beyond common sense, after all, finding a suitable life partner was the ideal she talked about at that time.
