Funny, just when I wrote the previous news based on an article 2-3 months ago, Josei Jishin published a new article to remind people of her trip back home in July, too. They also had the chance to talk with her mother a few days ago again.
"My daughter is doing really fine at the moment. I just talked with her this week. She is still attending school and sounds really healthy. Takashiro has to go to a lot of places due to his work and Erika seems to accompany him most of the time."
Insiders know that Takashiro is currently active all over Europe, giving Erika the chance to do a lot of sightseeing and shopping. "Paris, London, Brussels... most recently he has a lot of work in Switzerland. It appears that lately he and Erika have often been spotted walking together through Geneva."
At the end of May, Barcelona's home soccer team FC Barcelona won the "Champions League", earlier they already won the "Copa del Rey" and ranked first in "La Liga" and with that they became the first Spanish "Trichampion" in history. You can imagine that the whole city must have been one hell of a huge festival after getting the treble. "Erika must have enjoyed to live in Barcelona during its probably most lively time in history." The same insider commented.
On July 22, Erika will temporarily come back home to her country to watch the total solar eclipse on Amami Oshima as mentioned in the previous news. For her mother it will also be the first meeting in a very long time. "They both will be coming here (her home), so I guess we will cook and have a meal together."
Yes, still no more details about her comeback, but you will have to wait for that until end of July, if they are going to announce anything that is. If you live in Geneva, you better get out of your room and stroll around town! You know why! :P

It was already mentioned in much earlier news and I already put a short notice in the shoutbox, but I decided put it up news to really remind the last people that forgot this fact. Erika will come back to Japan in July!
There is a total solar eclipse going to happen on July 22 and it's been hyped as a once-in-a-century show you are going to see at the skies of Japan. You might remember that Erika got proposed to during a solar eclipse and so it's a really special event for the couple. Back then before their departure to Spain (with a stop in New York and London, the latter only for Takashiro), they already announced that they are going to come back to Japan to watch this one, too. One of the best places to watch the solar eclipse is going to be on Amami Oshima, the biggest of the Amami Islands in the prefecture Kagoshima and that's exactly where they are going to watch it, too.
It appears that she will her agency hopes to use this visit to discuss further details about a possible comeback later this year (earliest would be August), or some time early next year. Another widely shared opinion is that her junior Kitagawa Keiko is going to surpass her easily, if she doesn't resume her activities soon. Though, she shouldn't fear her junior, if the rumors about those huge role offers are true..., but what are offers without an actress willing to act?
By the way, in April, Erika's mom also pretty much confirmed their trip back to Japan in July, when she got asked about her daughter's comeback to Japan. "She'll return in July for a while. Come on, you forgot about the total solar eclipse on Amami Oshima?" In the same interview, she also talked a bit about her life in Spain. "One week ago (in April), she called me and said 'Mama, you HAVE to come to Spain!' *laughs* Right now she's attending a school again, a school for graphic design. Erika already studied it a bit before and it seems like that she wants to become a graphic designer. She also still goes to a language school. That school is of the same group as the one she already attended in London. Before she went to various places together with Takashiro due to his work, but now she wants to focus on her studies and therefore it seems like they can't be together all the time anymore." Now the question is, how's she doing as a new wife? "Erika can do some simple cooking. She also tries her best at going to the supermarket to buy all the ingredients herself. Takashiro doesn't really like vegetables and she really tries to consider his tastes when she's cooking, too. I know that Erika loves my bouillabaisse and so when I meet her again, I'll teach her an easy way to make it herself. *laughs*"
Look, it turned out to be quite a nice news article, only that it doesn't really contain anything new. ^o^ Anyway, I hope you are looking forward to her visit in July and keep on having positive thoughts about a possible comeback that might already be happening as soon as this fall. Erika, good luck with your cooking! Fighting! ^o^

This survey was done in three of China's largest cities; Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. They were asked to choose among 9 of Japan's young actresses. Their names were not revealed and only their faces were shown. The result? In every city, the one most often chosen was Sawajiri Erika. Between men and women, more men like her but when compared with the rest, she garnered overwhelming support from both sexes.
One of the reasons could be the effect of her role in the drama '1 Litre of Tears'. The book had also been translated and sold in China and many have been moved to tears watching the drama. Even if they may not remember the character's name, there must be many who recognize her face.
The runner-up is Inoue Mao, who receives much support from Shanghai. She is followed by Aragaki Yui and Nagasawa Masami. Toda Erika, who was ranked 1st previously, has dropped to 6th place.
The last thing we heard from Erika is that she went to Spain for her honeymoon, to study graphic design and to further improve her English skills all in one go. The plan was to make a comeback later this year and now some more details regarding that move has come to light.
"It's been more than 1 and a half years since all the riots she caused. She's been separated from work and from her fans for such a long time, so it seemed like that she didn't get offers for roles anymore. However, whenever there have been news about her coming back to Japan, her agency literally got flooded with requests for movies and doramas. The marriage with Takashiro was another smash in the face for the agency, but as long as there is work they can easily forget about such things. Now they've actually persuaded Sawajiri to return to Japan before the Summer." An insider revealed.
Erika was actually supposed to make her comeback right after her teary apology on TV after the Betsu ni... incident, but she disregarded that plan and traveled to London. Her marriage too, she never kept her agency in the loop. These events caused rumors like that her agency would deprive her of role offers in return, but now they unexpectedly seem to have changed their mood towards Erika and even decided to make a comeback with a movie completely produced by Stardust themselves.
"Since this year, Sawajiri's agency Stardust Promotions started not only to make but also to distribute movies by themselves. The first movie they distributed was "Yomei" in February. There is a lot of money to earn by distributing a movie by yourself and so it's just normal that they are seeking for a very big hit." A movie writer explained.
"There have actually also been rumors about Sawajiri getting the role in 'Yomei' long before it got released. Not many theaters played the movie when it got released in February, but a lot of them stated that it would have certainly been a hit with Sawajiri in the starring role and they definitely would have put it in their programs."
It's not that Erika and Takashiro really have to worry about their income, but a comeback in August could become reality since the timing seems to be right.
Oricon asked about 1,200 men and women which celebrity has the "most dramatic way of life". Actress Sawajiri Erika ranked first. She's someone who gained a lot of attention with her uncontrolled words and is probably the most appropriate person for the 1st place.
Unforgettable here behavior at the stage greeting with her several dull answers like "Not really.." which became a major buzzword and not to mention her marriage in 2008 that had been all over the press. It's not a big surprise that she got most the votes, but let's look at some of the comments from the voters. "I've voted for her, because she gets constantly observed by reporters, had this huge bombshell announcement, and she got married." A teenage girl from Osaka explained. "None of us ordinary people will ever able to live as freely as she does." Another teenage girl from Toyama commented. Some opinions like of this man (from Aichi, in his twenties) even go one step further, saying that, "You could be able to make her life into a movie."
On 2nd place comes Matsuda Seiko, an idol from the 80's who already went through two divorces in her life and constantly made headlines with her work and her private life. "She keeps on shining and standing at the foremost front despite all her scandals." Most of the comments said something similar to that one, but there also aren't just a few women who look up to her way of life, especially her love life.
The 3rd place goes to famous director, actor, comedian, host, writer, painter... Kitano Takeshi. "This man simply is a genius and he really crept up from the bottom." - "He's interesting, he's funny, he's cool, he's uncontrollable and he does whatever he wants. In short, he's an amazing person." Comments such as those two above always pile up when it comes to this man, not only in Japan. He used the boom of comedians to make it all the way to the top and and later became a worldwide acclaimed movie director. Kitano also had many drastic events in his life such as his severe motorcycle accident. It's hard to find someone who doesn't respect this man.
The 32nd Japan Academy Awards have just been held in Japan today and a few days before Oricon took the opportunity to make a survey about what movies people would like to see again and which actors/actresses are favored on the big screen.
The popularity of Japanese movies really reached record highs over the recent years. Deep stories and unique outlooks on the world are what made them winning candidates in film festivals like Cannes. Even Hollywood can't turn their eyes away and try to remake many of the Japanese originals. The Japanese Academy Awards exist to pick out the most shining gems out of this flood of amazing movies. We took the chance and asked you people what movies that ever won one of the awards you would like to see in the cinemas once more. Apart from that we also wanted to know which actors and actress you like to see in movies the most.
Award-winning movies that you would like to see again --- 01: Spirited Away (25th Academy Awards) --- 02: Princess Mononoke (21st Academy Awards) --- 03: Always: Sunset on Third Street (30th Academy Awards) --- 04: Hula Girls (30th Academy Awards) --- 05: Tokyo Tower (31st Academy Awards) --- 06: Shall we DANCE? (20th Academy Awards) --- 07: A Taxing Woman (11th Academy Awards) --- 08: Poppoya (23rd Academy Awards) --- 09: The Yellow Handkerchief of Happiness (01st Academy Awards) --- 10: Kamata March (06th Academy Awards)
Actors you would like to see in movies from now on [Their performances in doramas really influenced the ranking.]
Actresses you would like to see in movies from now on [Both their acting abilities and originality are what important for actresses.]
#01 - Miyazaki Aoi #02 - Ueno Juri #03 - Toda Erika #04 - Aoi Yuu #05 - Sawajiri Erika
The actresses elected for the top5 are all already active in movies and doramas. They are all young shining stars with a great variety in their personalities. It's no surprise that Miyazaki Aoi took the 1st place. There's currently no actress as popular as her thanks to her starring role in the historical dorama "Atsuhime". She's currently in the cinemas with her movie "Shonen Meriken Sakku" and fans want to see more of her. "She's a great actress and while seeing her on TV is already a pleasure, I'd like to see her in more movies, too." In 2nd place comes Ueno Juri who is liked for her superb performances in comedic roles. She became popular with her roles in the movie "Swing Girls" and the dorama "Nodame Cantabile". Toda Erika on the 3rd place is able to pull off many different characters from Misa in "Death Note" to a newbie doctor in the dorama "Code Blue". Aoi Yuu is just as able to pull off various roles and can easily make any movie, any dorama and any story so interesting that it is almost a crime to miss any of her performances. On 5th place we have Sawajiri Erika who recently made more headlines with her marriage and studies abroad than with roles in movies or doramas, but there still is a very high demand for her acting abilities. "I want her to make a comeback soon!!" - That is the general opinion of movie and dorama fans alike.
If there is one thing we can say for sure, then it's that Japan is (still) looking into a very bright future when it comes to movies and the talents who act in them. The people who will benefit from that are us, the moviegoers.
As mentioned in the last news report, Sawajiri Erika and her husband Takashiro Tsuyoshi went to New York to attend the fashion show of Takashiro's good friend Marc Jacobs.
The foreign press was luckily able to make a picture of the couple and they seemingly enjoyed the show a lot, both with a great smile on their faces. Japanese news site Sankei MSN posted the pictures along with several other pictures from the fashion show.
Erika is wearing a very nice dress, in my opinion at least. I really like that color...
She will not fly back to Japan, instead she will go to Spain to study graphic design at an art school for about 3 months. Her next return to Japan will probably be for the total solar eclipse that is going to happen in July, after that she plans to slowly start to work as an actress again.
Big picture:

On Sunday, actress Sawajiri Erika and her husband, media-creator Takashiro Tsuyoshi departed from Tokyo's Narita Airport to fly to New York. Takashiro's close friend, fashion designer Marc Jacobs (head designer for the brand 'Marc Jacobs' and creative director for 'Louis Vuitton') is having a fashion show on Monday (American time) and the two plan to attend it. The couple also have been wearing sunglasses by Marc Jacobs that day.
The rest was the usual image, Erika remained silent to any questions and Takashiro smiled his way through the press corps. He clearly must be in a happy mood all the time, but can we blame him? At one moment she nearly tripped, because one of her stilettos got caught in a gap on the walkway. Even then all she said was "Oh!", her last words on Japanese ground for a while. After the show Erika will go to Barcelona in Spain to study graphic design at an art school in a 3-months-short crash course while Takashiro will fly to London for his work.
In January Sawajiri Erik and Takashiro Tsuyoshi had their sudden marriage and everyone, really everyone published articles regarding those two. Now contents of their marriage contract are supposed to have gotten in the hands of a tabloid magazine and the most interesting point is that cheating would result in penalty of tens of millions of yen!
The couple, or better said Erika herself is supposed to have brought up the topic about having a contract before the marriage itself. In today's society it's more than usual to set up a legal agreement like that before a marriage. It was already by the end of last year that she had a lawyer set up the contract. Of course, Takashiro's seal is also stamped on this contract that has some amazing contents.
It has a lot of one-sided key points as protection for Erika. There are money penalties for any actions that would be disadvantageous for Erika. Here now an excerpt from that contract.
If it comes to light that Takashiro was on a date and just a date with another woman, he would already have to pay her 10,000,000 Yen (~110,000 USD). Any sexual intercourse would result in an extra 20,000,000 Yen (~220,000 USD) penalty. The contract is full of those points, but as I mentioned above, it's nothing unusual to have such a contract.
"If he has sex up to 5 times a month, he would have to pay 500,000 Yen (5500USD) for each time. Doing it without condom would double the penalty once again. They really go into abnormal details here."
Remember that those points all only count for Takashiro. How would a divorce be in such a one-sided contract?
"It's said that in a case of a divorce, Sawajiri Erika would receive 90% of Takashiro's entire fortune. In case they had a child, Sawajiri would get the right to decide who will receive the parental authority all by herself." (Quoted from an interview with an official of an advertising company in "Knuckles".)
During her idol times she was seen in swimsuits on magazine covers and today she still has a very attractive body. Would her body alone already be enough for someone to agree to such a strict contract? If that contents of that contract were true, how high would be the possibility for a divorce?!

On Sunday, Sawajiri Erika and Takashiro Tsuyoshi, who married in January, came back from Hawaii where they held their wedding reception party. Erika appeared in her typical western look with a ten-gallon hat, a pelt coat and bootcut jeans.
Photographers and reporters came in swarms to the Narita Airport to take photos and ask questions, but Erika remained in a sullen expression with her hands in her pockets. Takashiro, while showing a smile, didn't answer any questions as well.
Here's the report from NTV Terry Ito and the others have been talking about. You can see the plantation and the picture Erika's mom showed on the display of her digital camera. Enjoy.
On the 28th Erika's mother came back from her daughter's wedding announcement party in Hawaii.
In front of her home she gave the press some impressions from the party. "Takashiro did a Hawaiian dance and then told her, 'Let's go and let us 2 live happily together' with a kiss. I was so glad to see both of them so happy." She also brought a picture of Erika's dead father and second older brother along with her to Hawaii. "I secretly put it inside Erika's handbag. I'll tell her when she comes back."
Sawajiri Erika, Mama Erika, Hawaii and the paparazzi
Once again an article from J-Cast's "Sukkiri!!" corner, but before that, check out Takashiro's blog for some more pictures from the scenery at the plantation. It's only the scenery, so don't get your hopes up. He also writes about how beautiful Hawaii is, always a rainbow after the rains and gorgeous sunsets. Anyway, now back to "Sukkiri!!"
Before I continue I should say that we haven't gathered any material from Sawajiri Erika and Takashiro Tsuyoshi's wedding reception banquet in Hawaii. They've completely locked out the press and therefore there is no footage whatsoever. It makes you a bit angry, though there still might appear some picture somewhere.
It seems like there have been about 20 people from the stupid press waiting to get a picture. NTV sent Tominaga Noriko and a team to Hawaii to cover the event and they've eventually got greeted from Erika's mother in front of her hotel and given a few comments regarding the party.
That's no surprise, we already know that she's a very openhearted person. "It was a cozy party. We had meat and lobsters, especially the abalones were very delicious." - "It (Erika's dress) had a floral pattern and an open back. Takashiro had an aloha shirt with the same design." She even showed Tominaga some of the pictures she took with her digital camera.
They filmed it with their TV camera and while it's very hard to see, you can at least recognize the two with their floral pattern on the display of that digital camera. After that she only came in contact with the couple 2 or 3 more times, but as she said, "I'm a parent so I'm more reserved." Still, I would be worried, if they didn't meet her at all.
Tominaga was with us on the phone again.
Tominaga: "Her mother told me to give you her regards and said, "I'm a fan of Terry Ito." "
Kato Kouji: "She's like Nishikawa Heren, isn't she?"
Terry Ito with great delight: "I'm happy to hear that."
Tominaga: "She showed us about 30 pictures."
Kato: "What are her plans for today?"
Tominaga: "She said that they will fun going up the mountain."
Terry: "You should accompany them."
Tominaga: "Ah, I get it. We'll do our best." (Everyone's laughing in the studio.)
That's the current state of the TV crew, aimlessly chasing them as a group, no matter whether they are refusing any coverage or not. To cling to somebody like a bur, that's their motto. Won't that make them angry?
At least one "Sawajiri? - Betsu ni." would be enough. Taking a picture of somebody who hates to get photographed, that's exactly what the paparazzi live for.
This is an article/column of Terry Ito in his own section called "Sukkiri!!" on J-Cast.
This afternoon the crew of J-Cast TV went to Hawaii to find the place where Erika is going to hold her wedding reception banquet and were able show the exact area before the event. It sure is strange that it's on a coffee plantation, though.
The location is at an Hawaiian island that's 300km away from Oahu. It's a coffee plantation that belongs to the Doutor coffee chain. Hawaii is very famous for its coffee plantations and brands like the Blue Mountains or Kilimanjaro coffee and many many more.
The plantation of Doutor there is called "Mauka Meadows" and has more than 90,000 coffee trees. Toriba Hiromichi, founder and president of Doutor is said to be a very close friend of Takashiro and that's how they came up the idea of doing the party over there in Hawaii.
In fact, there have been a lot of Japanese celebrities that already went there to plant coffee trees. Erika also planted one 2 years ago and the coffee made of its coffee beans will actually be treated to the guests of the wedding reception banquet.
There's even a tree that was planted by Abe Shinzou, former prime minister of Japan. Other trees are from stars like Akashiya Sanma, Eguchi Yousuke and many more. However, Erika's tree isn't very easy to find. It took more than 1 hour until they finally found it. "Woah, I found it! I found it!", Tominaga Noriko called her staff.
"Sawajiri Erika, planted 01.01.2007", is written on a note that's standing next to it. That's 3 months after she met Takashiro. She really was at the Narita Airport in December 2006 and left Japan without answering any questions. It's been 2 years now.
The tree is 3 meters tall and has already gotten plucked. Although it's just a wedding reception, there will be a total of 30 people attending the barbecue and party, so I wonder whether coffee beans of just one tree will be enough. Definitely a very smart set up.
Tominaga also was kind enough to answer us a few questions via phone.
Tominaga: "The party will be in 3.5 hours from now and with posters they've announced the closing down a while ago. Neither people of the plantation nor reporters are allowed to enter the plantation anymore.
Katou Kouji: "You can't get at the meeting place?"
Tominaga: "It's very far away, so we probably won't be able to get a visual..." She vaguely explains.
Terry Ito: "Where are the 2 right now?"
Tominaga: "They are staying at a resort hotel until 30min prior to the party."
Katou: "You were excited when you found the board, right?" [not: board of Erika's tree]
Tominaga: "I asked everyone from the staff there and checked more than 2000 trees already, I really was about to give up."
Katou: "Good luck with getting a picture."
Terry: "Give my regards to Takashiro."
Tominaga: "I director Tominaga will do everything to get a picture."
Terry: "That's so like you."
With all the costs they put into to travel over to the plantation it would really be sad, if they didn't manage to get a picture. Sure, you can say it's there problem, but to be completely locked out can really be nerve-racking. Anyway, how do they say? Everything for the viewer.
On the 24th (25th in Japan), preparations for the wedding party/reception banquet of Sawajiri Erika and Takashiro Tsuyoshi started at the coffee plantation of Doutor, a major Japanese coffee chain.
The Mauka-Medouzu coffee plantation is halfway up on the Hualalai Mountain in Hawaii and about 800m above the sea level. The plantation is about 30 acre big (121,410 square meters) and would have enough space for almost 3 Tokyo Domes. The newlyweds will hold the party at an outdoor space in the center of this plantation.
On the 24th, the area has been closed down at 4pm and workers started to carefully clean the place. They've also erected a cross in the fountain called "The Fountain of Eternity" that's immediately in front of the party area. Takashiro once already showed a picture of this spring in his blog when he recalled all the travel memories he had together with Erika (108 Destinations, 23 Countries, 3 Years, 2 Lovers, 1 Planet, 1 Love). A person who helped preparing the about 50 seats for the event was asked about the party, but he wasn't able to give any new information.
Erika's mother and older brother arrived in Hawaii at the same day. The party is approaching fast and it will be the first time Erika is going to wear her wedding dress.
On the 24th, the mother of Sawajiri Erika departed from the Narita Airport to attend the wedding party of her daughter and fresh husband Takashiro Tsuyoshi who married on the 19th at the Meiji Shrine.
She appeared together with Erika's older brother at the airport and said, "I still haven't seen her wedding dress*, I'm so excited." Reporters also asked her about the possibility of a honeymoon baby. "That's up to the two of them, but shouldn't they take it a bit more slowly?" she answered with a smiling face.
It's said that there are plans for all of them to go and watch the stars together in Hawaii. Sawajiri Erika and Takashiro Tsuyoshi are already on the island. The party itself will be done on the 25th (26th in Japan).
* At the ceremony she wore traditional Japanese clothes, but at this party in Hawaii she's actually going to wear a wedding dress. Just in case you wondered why her mother didn't see it yet.
On the 21st (22nd in Japan), the freshly married couple Sawajiri Erika and Takashiro Tsuyoshi arrived at the Kona Airport in Hawaii at 4am, local time. They departed from the Narita Airport in Japan on the night before. The married couple has been seen in a very happy state at the lobby of the Kona Aiport and in no way tired after the long flight.
The reason for their stay is, as already mentioned their honeymoon combined with a wedding party. The party will be held in a guesthouse of a coffee plantation managed by one of Takashiro's friends on the 25th. In total 30 relatives and friends have been invited to the party. A friend from Erika's work says that she will wear a wedding dress arranged with rose flowers.
Takashiro's Blog: "An Expression of My Gratitude.""
On the 21th Takashiro updated his blog, expressing his gratitude to all their friends and people who supported them. He also published pictures from the ceremony, including the written oath and a nice sight over all the fans and reporters from their point of view. I'll now try to translate his entry the best way I can. (I hope he doesn't mind, if he even knows about ESN..)
An Expression of My Gratitude.
For the other day, when we held our wedding ceremony and many people gave us their blessings, thank you very, very much. It might be arrogant, but I have to borrow this place to express my gratitude. I have to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who came to the Meiji Shrine that day, some of them even from far far away. We've also been blessed with a sunny day almost like in spring and when I'm thinking about all the people waiting for so long on a cold winter day, I'm so relieved that it came true, that I feel like thanking the sun as well. From now on we'd also really appreciate your continued support.
To everyone from the media
Many of you people came and I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you. Originally the ceremony itself was planned to be for us and our relatives only, we don't know when the detailed information got leaked to the public, so we had to quickly choose a narrow place inside the shrine and limit the time of appearing in public in order to avoid a chaos, I apologize for this impoliteness. Thanks to your help we have been able to hold the ceremony without any accident. Thank you very much for your cooperativeness.
To all the friends who came to help
It became a good day and we've been able to hold our very own ceremony thanks to our faith in you guys. In a redundant world like this, I'd like to harmoniously spend my time with my family. Thank you my friends, for approving such feelings of me and coming from everywhere in the country, from Hokkaido to as far as Okinawa to help us with the ceremony. From scheduling to styling for the photographs, from guarding to interacting with the media, I really have to thank you a lot. I think the two of us would like to do this more properly and go on a country-wide tour to express our gratitude to each of you. You are my self-confidence. Truly, thank you.
I really like Tokyo a lot. I'd like to express my sincerest gratitude to this city that brought me up gently, gave me power and a future, and to all the people living in it.
On the 21st, actress Sawajiri Erika and media-creator Takashiro Tsuyoshi who had their wedding on the 19th, departed from Narita Aiport for their honeymoon combined with a wedding reception banquet in Hawaii, US.
Surrounded by many general tourists and reporters they've been advancing towards their gate. Erika was clearly surprised, saying, "Why is it so packed? Amazing... ." People gave her their blessing by congratulating her for her marriage and she responded "Thank you" with a smile on her face and waving her hand.
Erika appeared in a very sexy outfit; a dark brown mini dress highlighting her legs and with a low neckline, topped by a cowboy hat and dark sunglasses. Takashiro on the other hand was wearing a T-Shirt with President Obama.
On the 25th the two will be joined in Hawaii by their relatives and friends to celebrate their wedding. Erika is also said to show her wedding dress to her friends at that party.
He's a legend in the media industry and he's the one who was able to transform Erika-sama into an innocent and shy bride. His name? Takashiro Tsuyoshi.
20 years ago he gained a lot of popularity as the filmmaker of Koizumi Kyouko's legendary and original music videos and commercials, so much that really everyone in the industry knew about him. With his commercial productions in the Roppongi Hills he became active in an immensely wide variety of genres and it was him alone who started the trends of brands like Sony's AIBO or Nike's AirMax.
He received the title as overall-producer in national productions, has an intensive career and personal connections with people you can't even imagine. By now his work reached a world-level and his spending more than 200 days overseas every year. Erika is going with him wherever he goes and started to study abroad in London. Furthermore they've already traveled through Europe, America, Russia and other beautiful places of earth.
However, his incredible creativity doesn't end her. In private he's even working as a popular DJ in clubs which always puts himself on the leading edge of the current youth culture. He and Erika are also said to have some impressive skills when they are partying in clubs. They really know how to party and there are eye-witnesses of him putting one hand on her lower back and stroking her head with the other. Is that open attitude how his new wife got attracted to him!?
