42-year-old singer-songwriter Kohmi Hirose recently tied the knot, it was learned on Monday. Her new husband is a 43-year-old American working at a computer-related company in San Francisco. The couple filed their marriage in that city on October 12.

The two were introduced to each other by a friend about a year ago. Hirose has kept a house in Los Angeles for the past ten years, as she remains active as a musician in both the U.S. and Japan, splitting her time between the two countries.

Hirose has been married once before, to actor Takao Osawa. They wedded in 1999, but they separated in late 2006.
