Mirin Furukawa, a member of six-member Japanese idol group Dempagumi.inc, announced her marriage to The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. manga author Shuichi Aso at the encore stage of the group's concert "UHHA! YAAA!! TOUR!!! 2019 SPECIAL" held at Zepp DiverCity TOKYO on Wednesday. The news was also reported on the group's official website, as well as on Aso and Furukawa's official Twitter. In her Twitter post, she denies her retirement and confirms to perform as a member of the group.

Furukawa is a founding member of Dempagumi.inc that started their activities in June 2009. The Akihabara-born group previously performed several theme songs for the TV anime adaptations of The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. manga, while Aso drew the CD jacket illustration for their 16th single "Oyasumi Polaris Sayonara Parallel World / Girametasu Dempa Stars" released in April 2018. 

Furukawa's Twitter message:

"I am reporting that I, Mirin Furukawa is going to get married to manga artist Shuichi Aso-san. I can't call ourselves experienced enough, but we will try to support each other and live a life on our own. I will keep working hard as a member of Dempagumi.Inc, so your continued support is greatly appreciated."
