Masada Higashiide and Apricot are a happy couple who met while working together on the NHK morning drama "Thank You for Your Hospitality" and tied the knot on New Year's Day 2015.
They welcomed twin daughters and a son and made a happy family.
However, it is regrettable that according to reports, Masada Toide had an affair with the then underage actress Mirika Tang Tian as early as 2017, which cast a shadow on their marriage.
After 5 years of marriage, there are 3 years of cheating entanglements. In the end, Apricot decisively chose to divorce Masada Toide on July 31, 2020, and obtained custody of her three children.
However, life after the divorce was not satisfactory, and ** disclosed that Toide Masada did not fulfill the maintenance of his three children.
Although the two parties had not yet reached an agreement on child support at that time, the standard of child support proposed by Toide Masada was extremely low, which made Xing feel unacceptable.
Her speechlessness was not due to dissatisfaction with the amount of child support, but because she could not feel Masada Toide's sincerity as a father. Subsequently, Toide Masada gradually resumed work and was revealed to have started a new relationship with a young American-Japanese mixed-race woman.
Xing decided to move to Paris, France with her three children in August 2022, in order to give her children a better living environment.
According to an insider, "If you stay in Japan, Masada Toide's new love may be ** again, which may become the object of ridicule for the children at school." Apricot experienced a long divorce sentence between Ken Watanabe and her mother when she was young.
She wants to leave Japan so that her children can grow up in a relaxed and peaceful environment.
In her daily life, Xinghui uses her spare time to share her life in France on her YouTube channel, and takes her children to participate in various local activities in the evenings.
December 31 is Japan's Chinese New Year's Eve, and people eat soba noodles on this day. A few days ago, Kyoko tried to make soba noodles with Japanese and French buckwheat flour to compare the differences in taste between the two.
If Apricot still lives in Paris with her children this year, she will be able to experience the local Olympic atmosphere again after the Tokyo Olympics.
Although Xing has always actively shown her happy parenting and active life, you can imagine how difficult it is to take care of three children as a single mother.
Masada Toide's new life debuted on Fuji TV in Japan on January 9. In this show, he lives in seclusion in the mountains with three young actresses, living a "semi-self-sufficient" life.
He has a hunting permit and can hunt all year round, and since 2022 he has moved to the mountains and forests of the Kanto region, living in a mountain hut without gas and running water.
Here, he used to fetch water, chop wood for cooking, and hunt on his own, picking wild vegetables, and even occasionally eating insects. Previously, he didn't have a bath and often went to the nearby hot springs to take a bath.
Although the local residents did not know his identity, he quickly integrated into local life. Between April and December 2022, Toide Shodai hunted 31 animals, including deer.
He usually went out hunting when he ran out of meat, and sometimes the nearby farmers would give him some prey. He skins the animals he hunts, dismemberes them and keeps them in the refrigerator, or sends them to a meat processing plant to make sausages.
When reporters come to interview, he will light a fire and cook to give him a warm welcome, although he is not completely secluded in the mountains and forests. As long as he has acting work, he will come down the mountain to show up, and if it is just a meeting, etc., he will participate online.
However, some Japanese netizens questioned his lifestyle, believing that he was just creating a new image of life in the mountains, especially when it came to child support, but he was comfortable and happy in the mountains.
When the reporter interviewed again on December 17 last year, Masada Toide was preparing to make jerky by the river. He and three young actresses have been living together in the mountains for half a year.
Together, they carried the carcass of the deer back to the mountain hut from the creek, where they skinned, dismembered and made jerky together.
The three young actresses met through filming, and they moved to Yamamori in June 2023 to live with Masada Toide. Toide Masada and several female friends live together in the mountains, and this news has caused a lot of attention and speculation.
When asked by reporters about their relationship with Toide Masada, a female representative said that whether it is in the entertainment industry or in daily life, Toide Masada is their senior, and they will talk about some topics about life and acting on weekdays.
Regarding the turmoil that this way of life may bring, Toide Masada said that he didn't care: "Eh, then whatever others say." He believes that they gather each other out of pure affection and do not find anything wrong with them.
He also behaved freely about the concern that could cause an uproar: "Whatever you want!."Let them make trouble!This open-minded attitude drew laughter from the girls.
Toide Masada also joked, "But you still have future children, is it okay?"Please put a mosaic on the program team!These words amused the girls present again.
In addition to living together, Masada Toide and his sisters also made jerky together, cooked on a fire, and even boiled wild boar for reporters to taste. On December 30 last year, they also held a year-end party, where they drank and sang karaoke.
And on Chinese New Year's Eve, they counted down together to welcome the arrival of the new year. Toide Masada is enjoying his current life very much and feels very fulfilled.
However, such a lifestyle has aroused the doubts and incomprehension of many netizens, and they have said: Don't forget to pay compensation to your ex-wife and child support.
Recalling his own loss and despair, Masada Toide confessed that he had lost all his job at that time, and his efforts over the past ten years had come to naught. However, he is now gradually back to work and has only three days to spare on his schedule.
He and the girls gathered out of pure love for each other, and they didn't feel anything wrong with it.
Regarding the disturbances that may arise from the outside world, his attitude is very calm: "Just make trouble!."Let them make trouble!This open-minded remark drew laughter from the girls.
In the deep mountains, they made jerky together, cooked over a fire, and even cooked wild boar for reporters to taste. On December 30 last year, they also held a year-end party together, where they had a drink and sang karaoke.
And on New Year's Eve, they counted down to welcome the arrival of the new year together. His responsibilities as a father do not depend on the financial situation with his ex-wife, which is a responsibility as an ex-husband. Someone questioned this: "Is this polygamy?".
More precisely, however, he seems to be trying to attract attention through scandal. Sometimes, the world seems to be like this, and those who are irresponsible are more comfortable with it. Toide Masada seems to be well aware of this ......
