Electric Shock Marriage!

[Aaron Gerow]

For those of you who want some of the more juicy bits of Japanese film 
news, the wide shows were all full yesterday (when they were not doing 
World Cup news) of reports on the dengeki kekkon (literarlly, electric 
shock marriage) between the actress/singer Nakayama Miho, star of Love 
Letter, and the singer, novelist and film director Tsuji Jinsei (a.k.a., 
Hitonari), director of such films as Filament and Hotoke. Big news, as 
reflected in the fact the 2-page  newspaper extras, printed for the 
result of the Japan-Belgium soccer match, had the match result fill the 
front and the marriage news fill the back page.

Personally, I don't care that much. I never liked Nayayama Miho that much 
and I prefer Tsuji's first wife, Minami Kaho, as an actress.

But perhaps some of you are electrically shocked!
