2025年11月18日，日本知名歌手美依禮芽（MARiA，本名水橋舞）在微博上發表一則引起廣泛關注的貼文，她表示：「中國對我而言就是我的第二個故鄉，中國的朋友都是我珍視的家人——我永遠支持一個中國。」這條微博迅速在社群媒體上引起討論，成為網友關注的焦點。

美依禮芽於1992年1月31日出生於日本茨城縣土浦市，是日本女歌手及作詞人，同時活躍於NICONICO動畫平臺的舞見界，並且是男女雙人音樂組合GARNiDELiA的成員。她的代表作品包括《極樂淨土》，並曾參與中國綜藝節目《乘風破浪的姐姐》的錄製。在公開場合與社交媒體上，美依禮芽多次表達對中國的喜愛與支持，建立相當穩固的中國粉絲群體。

這次發文的背景和意圖，引起部分中國網友的質疑，有評論指出，即將在中國開演唱會的美依禮芽以及其他部分日本藝人近期頻繁表態支持中國，可能帶有爭取流量和商業利益的動機。從市場角度來看，表態支持中國的行為對於在中國擁有龐大粉絲群和商業合作的日本藝人而言，確實具有一定的宣傳和經濟價值。

整體而言，美依禮芽此次微博發文，既延續她以往對中國的正面表態，也再次引發社交媒體關於藝人言論動機與文化交流真實性的討論。在粉絲和公眾的眼中，她的言論被解讀為文化親近與支持中國的象徵，但同時也伴隨著對藝人商業利益考量的爭議聲浪。

On November 18, 2025, Japanese singer MARiA, also known by her real name Mizuhashi Mai, posted a message on Weibo that quickly drew widespread attention. In her post, she wrote, “China is my second home, and my friends in China are family I truly cherish—I will always support One China.” The message quickly sparked discussions across social media platforms, becoming a focal point among her fans and observers.

Born on January 31, 1992, in Tsuchiura, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, MARiA is a singer, lyricist, and performer who gained recognition on the NICONICO video platform. She is also a member of the Japanese musical duo GARNiDELiA, known for their hit song “Gokuraku Jodo.” In addition to her musical career, she has participated in Chinese variety shows, including Sisters Who Make Waves, and has repeatedly expressed her admiration for China, cultivating a substantial Chinese fanbase over the years.

The timing and nature of her post prompted some Chinese netizens to question her motives, noting that several Japanese entertainers have recently made public statements supporting China. Critics argue that such expressions may be partly driven by the desire to gain popularity, engagement, and commercial opportunities in the Chinese market. From a market perspective, showing support for China can indeed offer Japanese artists access to a vast fan base and potential business collaborations.

Overall, MARiA’s Weibo post continues her previous pattern of expressing positive sentiments toward China, while also reigniting debates on social media about the sincerity of entertainers’ statements and their underlying commercial interests. For fans and the public, her remarks are seen as a symbol of cultural closeness and support, yet they are simultaneously accompanied by discussions about the economic motivations behind such public expressions.
