Actress Erika Sawajiri, 22, and media creator Tsuyoshi Takashiro, 44, tied the knot on Monday at Meiji Shrine in Yoyogi in front of friends and family, and also a large media contingent plus a thousand or so fans and onlookers.

The media throng of roughly 200 and the thousand or so onlookers got a glimpse of Sawajiri as she walked along the corridors toward the inner shrine. She wore a white kimono featuring embroidered gold cranes, a large headpiece made of lilies, and colored contact lens. The many people on the sidelines kept congratulating her and telling her she looked beautiful. Sawajiri kept her head slightly down, but was all smiles from start to finish.

The media got wind of their upcoming marriage just before Sawajiri and Takashiro returned to Japan from London in late December. The pair registered their marriage on Jan 7, which fell on the most auspicious of the days - or “taian” - according to the six-day “rokuyo” calendar, and they will hold a small reception in Hawaii for their close friends later this month.

Actress and Idol Horikita Maki is the voice actress for a new Belgian Anime - Nato's Space Adventure -- I think, from what I can make of the Katakana -- to be released on the 28th of March!

When asked for her views on Sawajiri Erika's marriage to hypermedia creator Takeshiro Tsuyoshi (who, at 44, is twice Erika's age of 22), Horikita Maki had this to say. "I think that it would be nice to get married in my 20s, and the difference in age between the person I like and my own age does not matter. I like people who don't forget their sense of adventure and are not risk-adverse. " However, she also revealed that she was not seeing anybody at the moment.
