Wow, it seems being a traditional housewife is desired by Japanese women. If I were marrying her, I wouldn't mind her continuing voice acting. I'd probably encourage her to keep at it and not stop on my account. But that's just me.

More than desired, I'd say "forced". Quite a few of the female Japanese teachers I had over the years while studying the language kept mentioning people pressuring them to leave work and be a housewife.

Even if she was forced to retire, maybe the housewife-type life just suited her more.

Yeah, this makes me sad every time I see one of these articles. I imagine cultural stigma forces many of these women to retire at such a young age. Maybe there are cases where that's not true but you start to notice the same PR spin language among these articles after a while.

Congrats to her. I'd like to thing she's a smart individual and knows what she is doing. If she's being forced to be a housewife, it's not hard to say "screw the rules, I have money(I don't know her income. Lol)."

In all fairness, looking at her works shows that she's really barely done anything in recent years. Her life in terms of career is probably barely changing. Maybe she did some concerts and such things, idk...but voice acting she hasn't done anything in years.

Some Japanese men are still a little old-fashioned, unfortunately. Pressuring women to get out of the workforce and start raising families sounds like the norm over there. On the other hand, maybe it could be because of the low birthrate and some Japanese women somehow feel obligated (though they shouldn't) to help circumvent that. Does anyone have any clear statistics on that?

Either this is a case of her man wanting her to get into the kitchen in a non-literal sense, or she's grown tired of doing what she's been doing and wants to settle down and live the life of a housewife, or maybe a bit of both. I'm not really familiar with this person.

That's the case fot the eastern world in general, not just Japan. You do realize that in Japan women are not forced but expected to quit their jobs when they get married ,because it shows how dedicated and loyal she is to her family. Also I think it's wrong to judge another culture ,by the values and beliefs of your own culture. Funny how you say ''Some Japanese men are still a little old-fashioned, unfortunately. Pressuring women to get out of the workforce and start raising families sounds like the norm over there.On the other hand, maybe it could be because of the low birthrate and some Japanese women somehow feel obligated (though they shouldn't) to help circumvent that. Does anyone have any clear statistics on that? '' when you find that the women also agree with this point of view, and low birth rates have nothing to do with it.

I hope it was her decision alone and not a possessive husband (the most likely culprit), they can be worse than tyranny at times.

It's just what I've seen and heard from some places and via my overseas friend in Japan. I'm not judging it "by the values and beliefs of my own culture" as you put it, which for the record I doubt you know anything about.

I know enough to know that's what you were doing and if you weren't doing that, what did you mean by this: ''Some Japanese men are still a little old-fashioned, unfortunately.

I doubt that, because again, you don't know anything about my values and beliefs. It's not as if I have any obligation to explain to you nor do I wish for this to carry on into an exchange of constant posts. It honestly sounds like you're trying to start something here. Besides, I just stated previously that it was hearsay, not a collectively objective analysis on the entirety of Japan's population.

The article says "she will retire from the public entertainment industry"; She could simply be moving onto a more private, less strenuous, career.
All the luck to her in her next step.
