The heartfelt post marks a major life milestone for the 35-year-old voice actress and singer, who is adored by fans for her sincere charm and iconic role in the μ's idol group.

Kubo's announcement makes her the fourth member of μ's to get married, following Suzuko Mimori, Riho Iida, and Sora Tokui. With half of the original group now married, fans have been celebrating online—some with nostalgia, some with joyful tears.
