On Sunday, the official website of singer Rimi Natsukawa (35) announced that she is planning to get married on New Year’s Day. Her husband-to-be is percussionist Masaaki Tamaki (41), who has toured with artists such as TUBE and Masayuki Suzuki.
Sankei Sports had scooped the story a day earlier with some details of the couple. They met last autumn when Tamaki played as part of Natsukawa’s band during her concert tour. They began dating this past March, and Tamaki proposed in September.
