1 Mar - Former Nogizaka46 member Himeka Nakamoto recently announced that she is now married.

The announcement was made via her official blog on 28 February, with the former singer saying that her husband is a non-showbiz person who is the same age as her.

"He is like a cheerful and reliable older brother, and a playful and cute younger brother," she said. "I will value him as much as he values me."
