Japanese star Erika Sawajiri, 22, and creative director Tsuyoshi Takashiro, 44, tied the knot on Monday (Jan 19) at Meiji Shrine in Shibuya, Tokyo.
Sawajiri was one of the most promising Japanese actresses after starring in drama series “1 Litre of Tears” in 2005, but her career took a downturn in 2007 with some sulky attitude issues.
It was around the 2007 period that her relationship with Takashiro was exposed; the couple later moved to London with Sawajiri taking a long break from the entertainment industry.
It had been rumoured for months that the couple would be getting married, but it was until early January that they finally confirmed about their wedding plan [image from Sankei (Jp)]





She looks like her mother, if it is her mother in the back.
I don’t think Erika-sama will ever have the same popularity as she did after 1 litre of tears.
I think it’s her mother indeed… they do share similar face figures.
I don’t think she will be as popular as she used to be too… I wonder if she’s interested to comeback to entertainment world at all.
almost 20 years age gap? iguess age really doesnt matter at all…or does the money?hmmm just curious.
I don’t think her husband is super rich… it’s probably not about money.
3 years.
holy sh)t! That is some nice j-a$$ for a 44 yr old to be pulling.
Wow in London :D..
:[ She did a good performance in 1 litre of tears..
Sad to see her decline..
But i have to say.. He is DOUBLE her age.. But i guess age shouldn’t matter..
It was a little weird seeing her do innocent young roles and they shoots for men magz.. i have to say..
i very love erika-san, but, i don’t like to see that she married with takashiro tsuyoshi..
i love erika of her acting in 1 litre of tears but when getting know of her wedding..make me sad..hopefully..u’ll perform the good act again..

OMG…i can’t believe in this news..how can she do this, marrying a 44 yr old man? he’s 22 years older than her..and about the attitude problem..i can’t believe too, she’s one of my favorite actress, and i never thought she can do those crazy things..i’m sad for her.. I love her acting and she sings well too. but about the humor about drugs..i’m confused if I still like her, if that’s true..but there’s still no proof, so i think i still like her..a bit??
ちょっと待って!この..
彼女の顔がああです歳の男性と結婚すること起こっているのは、この!場合、私は、私の代わりに錦戸亮と結婚する彼女だったがクソ牛たわごと迷惑ろば男性と結婚するなんて信じられない信じることができない..何が神聖ながらくた!

That’ a laugh riot. His age precisely doubles hers. This isn’t much of a shocker since many female stars today are marrying (super chi chi) older men with buckage in their wallets. This man doesn’t look moneyed so it’s probably about love. I don’t think Erika Sawajiri should marry Ryo Nishikido, because they have nothing between them in real life. She was caught with drugs (or something) which definitely spells out the “sulky attitude issues,” and that isn’t good enough for a Johnny’s boy. The newlyweds (or oldlyweds or whatevs) probably have more real life chemistry than Sawajiri and Nishikido will ever have on screen. That’s why they married. Whether it’s for money or love they’re married and age no longer matters in the entertainment industry.
i am so,so,so,so……. sad and a little bit mad cause she married that man!-
PeRo para sakin mas bagay sina Ryo Nishikido and EriKa Sawajiri! diba!????
