[Announcement] Hikaru and Shingeki no Noa Have Divorced
Popular YouTuber Hikaru and Shingeki no Noa have announced their divorce just about 4 months after their marriage in 2023. In this article, we summarize the reasons and honest thoughts they shared in their recent YouTube video.
Why Did They Decide to Divorce?
Hikaru began the video by saying “We’ve divorced.” He clearly stated that the reason was “because of my selfish way of living.” Although he had genuine feelings at the time of marriage, over time, those feelings changed, and he eventually said he felt “trapped by the institution of marriage.”
Why Did They Marry with Zero Dating Days?
The couple became known for their “zero-day marriage” (marrying without dating), which Hikaru admits was a result of acting on impulse. He also reflected that while he genuinely wanted to get married at that moment, “those feelings didn’t last long.”
What Was Behind the Open Marriage?
Later on, they transitioned to an “open marriage (mutual freedom in romantic relationships)” at Hikaru’s suggestion. Noa accepted it, saying “I thought that might make things work better.” However, in reality, it only caused more emotional stress for both of them.
Noa’s Thoughts and Struggles
Noa shared that she “thought this was the only way we could be happy as a married couple.” She made many sacrifices for Hikaru, even appearing in a host club video to protect his image, despite the criticism it brought upon her.
The Pressure Hikaru Felt in Marriage
Hikaru explained how he felt pressured to be seen as “a good husband” and how “being married felt like being confined in a cage.” He also admitted that “marriage took away the freedom I had on YouTube.”
The Conflict: “If Noa Weren’t Here…”
Hikaru confessed that he caught himself thinking “if Noa weren’t here, I’d be free to do YouTube as I like.” Even though she was supporting him, her presence became a “burden” emotionally — a difficult truth he had to face.
Realizing He’s “Not Meant for Marriage”
Hikaru plainly admitted that “I’m not meant for marriage.” Noa also agreed, saying “he’s really not cut out to be a husband.” Still, they both agreed that “as friends, we’re great.”
Advice from Noa to Women
Noa urged women viewers “not to try zero-day marriages or open marriages.” She strongly warned: “Think carefully before dating someone like Hikaru.”
What’s Their Relationship Going Forward?
Looking ahead, they said they might “continue as friends.” Hikaru mentioned that he hopes they can have a relationship like “Purotan and Reina.” It’s clear that a level of trust still remains between them.
Message to Viewers
At the end of the video, Hikaru asked viewers to “please avoid blaming either of us.” He also clearly stated “I’m the one at fault.” and apologized for causing trouble to many people.
Summary: From Speedy Marriage to Speedy Divorce
Their “zero-day marriage and divorce just 4 months later” is certainly unique. Hikaru admitted “I’m not suited for marriage,” yet also hinted that he might marry again someday.
We’d like to send our warmest support to both of them as they start fresh paths with mutual respect and gratitude.
