Hayley Kiyoko and Becca Tilley Announce They're Engaged After Seven Years of Dating
Hayley Kiyoko is officially engaged to her girlfriend of seven years, Becca Tilley. On July 10, Kiyoko posted a photo carousel of the beach proposal on Instagram with the caption, 'My dream girl said yes to forever…' Kiyoko proposed to Tilley with a custom cushion-cut diamond ring from Ring Concierge. 'Designing Becca's dream ring with Hayley was such a full-circle moment,' Nicole Wegman, the founder and CEO of Ring Concierge, said in a press release, per People. 'I've known Becca for years, so when Hayley came to us, it felt especially meaningful to help her design the perfect ring, one that truly captured their love story.' Ahead, get to know Kiyoko's fiancée. Tilley, 36, is best known for appearing on ABC's The Bachelor. She was a contestant on the 19th and 20th seasons. She's now the host of the pop culture podcast Scrubbing In with Becca Tilley & Tanya Rad, which has won two People's Choice Awards for Best Pop Podcast. According to People, the couple first met in 2018 at Kiyoko's album release party for her debut LP, Expectations. Tilley preferred to keep their budding relationship private, though, telling Entertainment Tonight, 'My last relationship with Robert [Graham, another Bachelor alum] was very public, and it made it very hard once we broke up, just the pressure of it. And I decided with this one, that I didn't want that. So I just have kept it private until I don't want to anymore.' But at the time, she did share that meeting Kiyoko at her party was love at first sight. 'I think it was just an instant connection,' she recalled. 'I've never had something so instant, like, from the beginning.' In May 2022, Tilley hard-launched her relationship with Kiyoko by posting a sweet Instagram video of the couple. She captioned it, 'hard to say if this is a hard or soft launch, but it is a launch ❤️.'

Tokyo-based online broadcaster brings DJs into fish shops and classic cafés
As redevelopment, rising rents and fundamental changes in the city's social fabric put an ever tightening squeeze on traditional shops and eateries across Tokyo, many old-school businesses like neighbourhood greengrocers and fishmongers, worker's caffs and candy stores are becoming endangered species in the urban jungle. But all's far from lost for the capital's mom-and-pop shops, especially with a new generation of techno and house heads now spotlighting their community value. Yup, you read that right: Online music broadcaster new YouTube session series The Shoten has sparked buzz on social media by inviting up-and-coming local DJs to play sets in surroundings such as an antique furniture store in Shimokitazawa and an Akabane fish shop run by the same family for four generations. The crew came up with the idea of channelling the power of tight tunes to champion at-risk sites of urban culture after growing disillusioned with the lack of communication between the Japanese club scene and the wider community. They wanted to bring music and music fans closer to their neighbourhoods and vice versa, encouraging interaction and mutual understanding. These efforts appear to have struck a chord: the first 'Shoten' video, in which Kanta Ando 's chill techno and house tunes soundtrack a morning's comings and goings at the Uoyou fish shop on Akabane's Suzuran-dori shopping street, has racked up over 12,000 views since February. Even more popular is the clip from April featuring Kiyoko spinning deep techno at Yotsuya kissaten Coffee Lawn, a local staple that's been serving up a largely unchanged menu of coffee and snacks for seven decades. In the video, the DJ's beats add an intoxicating touch to the venue's timeless atmosphere. has been releasing new The Shoten videos at a steady pace over the past few months, with six episodes available at the time of writing. In the two newest clips they've taken their show on the road, setting up the decks in a traditional rice storehouse in the city of Takayama, Gifu. With the team hoping to release interviews and documentaries as well as organise live events in the future, we'll be sure to keep a close eye on The Shoten from here on – and very much look forward to stumbling into the middle of a DJ set at our local lunch spot or neighbourhood bathhouse one day.
