Picture of Japanese couple Erika Sawajiri and Tsuyoshi Takashiro married at Meiji ShirneJapanese 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.

  4. #4. Yein Jee on January 22nd, 2009

    I don’t think her husband is super rich… it’s probably not about money.

    Wow in London :D..

    Sad to see her decline..

    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??

    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.

  49. #49. angelica on January 3rd, 2010

    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!????
