Waka Inoue looking for carnivore partner

TOKYO —

Actress Waka Inoue, 28, almost gave the press some big news when she attended the opening ceremony for McDonalds’ Toei Plaza “Quarter Pounder Shop 428” this week. The normal McDonalds restaurant was transformed into a “Shop 428” on Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m. to celebrate the arrival of the Quarter Pounder to McDonalds menus all over the country.

The actress arrived wearing a special limited-edition T-shirt, the same kind that was given to customers who made purchases at the restaurant during the event. Waka wasn’t shy about her thirst for flesh, saying of both food and romance, “Herbivores may be popular right now, but I love meat, and I need to marry a man who is a carnivore too.”

Referring to the Quarter Pounder advertising campaign, “Big Mouth,” starring Shunsuke Kitajima, the press asked Inoue if she could live up to her own big mouth and big statements. She floored the press, boldly declaring, “I’m getting married next year!” but later took back the statement, claiming, “I meant to say ‘I want to get married,’ but it came out wrong.”

Of her desire to find the right meat-eating man, the actress explained, “Recently I’ve been drinking a lot at home and it’s lonely. When I turn 29, I’m going to get out there and find a husband.”

    Oh, I've got some meat she can eat!!!

    “Recently I’ve been drinking a lot at home and it’s lonely.”

    That would be a sign of actual or imminent alcoholism in some countries, but in Japan it's just an indicator that it's time to start looking for a partner...to drink with!

    When I turn 29, I’m going to get out there and find a husband

    Somehow I don't think she is going to have the same husband finding problem that many women seem to have in Japan. Just a hunch.

    She is the beefiest among the Japanese talento, so for once this is a very suitable choice.

    Ebi-chan was always a mismatch here. You can see one of them gobbling up burgers, but not the other.

    She is the beefiest among the Japanese talento, [...]

    Nemoto Harumi is a bit more on the beefy side but I, for one, am not complaining.

    Take that all you herbivores. At least one woman here in Japan wants a real man. Doubt it will start a trend however. I think we're stuck with the herbivores for a few more years, at least.

    A good vegetarian or vegan chef who cooks regularly for his girl could change her mind easy. It is hard to imagine what you have never known. Once you know, its easy to fall in love.

    I hope such a guy picks up this challenge.

    I just hope she's stopped using those collagen injections for her lips. I saw her on TV the other day and the lips were about to burst.
