A Famous Couple's Romance Ends in Public Shame

He made her feel bad at her worst time.

Many famous people date other famous people. For example, IU and Lee Jong Suk were a couple that surprised everyone when they were seen together.

Most celebrity couples keep their relationships private, but sometimes the good and bad things that happen to them become public, like with one famous idol couple who had a very bad experience.

Masahiko Kondo, also known as Matchy, started acting and singing in 1980 and became very popular in Japan.

In 1983, Matchy often performed with a new idol named Akina Nakamori, and people thought they might be dating.

The two idols played a couple in a movie called Love: Starting on a Journey in 1985.

After the movie, people found out that Matchy and Akina were in a serious relationship, which was not allowed by Matchy's agency.

Things started to go wrong for the couple at this point.

After Matchy's mother died, he changed, and Akina stayed with him, but people started to talk about him having affairs with other women.

One of the women, Anita Mui, said she had an affair with Matchy, but she didn't know he was in a relationship.

In 1989, Akina tried to hurt herself after a fight with Matchy, and they both stopped working for a while.

People thought Matchy and Akina would get married, but instead, they ended their relationship.

Matchy said he was going back to work, and Akina said she was sorry for hurting his career, and then she lost her job.

Akina started singing again in 1990 and has released many albums since then, but she has never gotten married.

Matchy got married to a non-celebrity woman and focused on racing, but he had another affair and was punished by his agency.

Now, Matchy has his own company and is performing again, and he also has a racing team.
