Koda Kumi and her husband KENJI03 recently performed together during the cherry blossom season in Kaohsiung. After the performance, they returned to Taipei and then traveled to Hualien to pay respects at the graves. They enjoyed a joyful holiday.

Koda Kumi expressed that she misses her relatives in Taiwan very much and looks forward to visiting again.
Koda Kumi and her husband KENJI03 recently appeared together during the cherry blossom season in Kaohsiung. The 42-year-old Japanese singer Koda Kumi was invited to participate in a performance event at the cherry blossom festival at the end of last month, during which her husband KENJI03, who is two years younger and is of Japanese-Taiwanese mixed heritage, also made an appearance, and they interacted sweetly. Yesterday, Koda Kumi shared on her social media about their experience taking the high-speed train back to Taipei after the performance; the next day, she went with her husband to Hualien to visit graves, and enjoyed a family meal, savoring a joyful holiday.
Koda Kumi was rumored to have had an affair with a well-known host in her early years, and news of their breakup was reported in magazines back in 2009. In 2011, media reported that she was dating a man who resembled Nakamura Shido, which was later confirmed to be KENJI03, a band member of Japanese-Taiwanese mixed heritage. His father is Japanese, and his mother is from the Taiwanese Atayal tribe, and KENJI03 has been studying in Taiwan since elementary school. After dating for about four months, the couple hurriedly married and have one son together, and their relationship remains sweet to this day.
Recently, Koda Kumi shared her travel experiences in Kaohsiung, where she dined at Din Tai Fung and also enjoyed a traditional Taiwanese massage, mentioning that this experience gave her a lot of energy and made her feel very healthy. Afterwards, she went to Qijin to ride an electric scooter, sharing various culinary experiences, including seafood, peanut rolls, and strawberry ice, and even played a claw machine, jokingly saying, “Help! It’s really delicious!” It seems her weight loss plan will have to wait until she returns to Japan.
Not long ago, Koda Kumi shared photos from her return to Tokyo to admire the cherry blossoms, and mentioned her memories of Taiwan again. She reflected on days spent dining with family, fishing, and soaking in hot springs, stating, “I had a pleasant holiday, and it was great to see relatives again after such a long time.” She also mentioned that her family hopes she will return for another gathering, and she expressed that she would come back.
These shares drew enthusiastic responses from netizens, with many expressing their anticipation for her return to Taiwan, showing warm support for the Japanese diva.
