Taira Airi, a famous actress and the wife of Japanese soccer star Nagatomo Yuto (FC Tokyo), has expressed deep trust in her husband.

According to a report by Live Door News on the 10th (Korea time), Taira Airi recently attended the premiere IMAX screening of director Christopher Nolan's film 'Odyssey' in Tokyo, where she discussed the work.

Taira appeared on stage alongside actor Iwata Takano and voice actor Hirata Hiroaki. Particularly given that her husband is professional soccer player Nagatomo, who has long performed on overseas stages, she projected her own marriage onto the character of Penelope, wife of Odysseus in the film.

Penelope is a character who believed in and waited for her husband's return for as long as 20 years.

Taira stated, "After getting married, becoming a couple, and forming a family, no matter what difficulties arise, I want to simply trust the partner I chose."

She then cited her actual marriage life with Nagatomo as an example.

Taira candidly said, "Even in our private lives, when my husband says he's going out for training and leaves, although I know he is going for training, I cannot know where or what exactly he is doing."

She further emphasized, "Still, I want to trust my own choice and the person I decided to live for rather than my own life."

Although she cannot directly verify her husband's entire daily routine, the meaning was that ultimately trusting the person one has chosen—and the choice itself—is important in a marital relationship.

Taira added, "After watching this work, I felt as though I had found my answer."

Live Door News also explained, "Taira, who is married to professional soccer player Nagatomo who has long performed on overseas stages, attended the event today because her life resonates with the perspective of Penelope, Odysseus's wife portrayed by Anne Hathaway."

It further reported, "She projected her own marriage onto Penelope's image of believing in and waiting for her husband's return for 20 years."

Nagatomo and Taira are well known as a star couple representing Japan's sports and entertainment industries.

Nagatomo, who has long served as a defender for the Japanese national team, played for prestigious European clubs including Inter Milan (Italy), Galatasaray (Turkey), and Marseille (France). He also served as a key defender for the Japanese national team for an extended period, appearing in multiple World Cup tournaments.

Taira has also built high recognition in Japan through her activities as an actress and broadcaster. Since their marriage, the two have consistently shown affection for each other, drawing attention as a star couple representing Japan's sports and Yeon Ye-gye-reul (CEO) industries.
