Anna Murashige, a former Japanese girl group HKT48 member, confessed to having a close relationship with her father, enough to express physical affection.

On May 21st, Smart Flash reported that Murashige revealed a family anecdote at a brand event she attended.

At a shampoo brand event the day before, Murashigae shared, “I used the newly released shampoo to wash my hair yesterday,” and expressed her satisfaction by saying, “It has the best scent.”

When asked by the press about a situation that makes her heart flutter when she smells the shampoo, Murashige responded, “When I show physical affection with my family.” She further revealed, “Our family often shows how much we love each other through physical touch. I still kiss my dad,” showcasing her upbringing in a loving family environment.

Murashige’s comments caught the attention of people online. Responses included: “I think it’s because she’s of Russian descent. I know in Russia, they greet each other with kisses,” “A father and his twenty-something daughter kissing… that’s impressive,” “They are a loving family,” and “This doesn’t seem like a typical situation.”

Murashige is of mixed heritage. She was born to a Japanese father and a Russian mother. She has two younger sisters and two younger brothers. Both of her sisters are currently working as child actors.
