They make a cute couple

Very nice. As for the age difference, she's probably much more mature than him. Still, it's a bit rough getting pudding clubbed at twenty when you were just shacking up for shirts and giggles.
 
the hairstyles

Isn't this the girl who paid Nova 2 Million yen in advance and lost every last yen?
Now she is getting married to Chewbacca? (Fill in your own Wookie roars here)
Wow someone needs to slow the F down and smell the roses before she ruins her life.

I reckon that her and the giant walking va-jay-jay face will have a baby within 1 year. Then Charles Manson will divorce her.
All before she is 22 years old. Then she'll be kicked around like an old hippie's hackie sack.

Exactly how did you conclude that I was giving this marriage two years because of how the groom looks?
Do you assume that simply because it is in the same post, that that is the basis? If so, please assume that not everyone who posts here thinks as simply as apparently you do.
I give it two years, because this is clearly one of the talent-agency arranged hook-ups for which Japanese celebrities are famous. And, because I'm not sure how much a twenty-year old Japanese woman can "see qualities in him" anyway, to use your phrase.
Nothing at all to do with his appearance.

don't you know by now that Jerseyboy always posts in the "I assume-I predict-I'm sure-I believe" way?

Look here:

I'm not sure how much a twenty-year old Japanese woman can "see qualities in him"

Well, there you have it. Better leave the "I am sure" way to the people in question, if I might advice you.
 
And Jerseyboy....

Well, very simple. That was the only you were posting about, now wasn't it.

this picture looks like it was taken in the 70's, they look so passe'. Odagiri could pass for a young Aum-Asahara and she could pass for a pink lady or some such.
They need to rethink their hairstyles though not to mention the attire.
Other than that, good luck.

jerseyboy -
Well, as roomtemperature points out, it is all you wrote about. If you mean to point out that this is clearly one of the talent-agency arranged hook-ups for which Japanese celebrities are famous, please say so. It helps the non-clairvoyant among us to understand what you mean.
If it is an arranged hook-up, the future might not be so bright.
Personally I wouldn't advise any 20 year-old to commit themselves to marriage; it's a huge step for one so young. Still, she may be more mature than your average 20-year-old. And he may be more steady than he looks. We don't know, do we?

I wish them all the best.

He might be the nicest bloke around, but having seen a variety of horror haircuts on the TV this morning from different stages in his career, he certainly needs a new barber. One of his cuts had a 'matted together with dirt' look, plastered over one eye just like he'd been sleeping rough. Not stylish - just a mess.

As she's only 20 this can only be an attempt to revive flagging careers, or to get hers started.

I'd be so impressed to find celebrities marrying other people who weren't celebrities. Instead we get Kanda Uno's grotesque pachinko tack-fest and now this engagement.

As Billy Idol once sang: Little sister, shotgun

>>... give it two years, because this is clearly one of the talent-agency arranged hook-ups for which Japanese celebrities are famous.<

Actually, Jerseyboy, although the phenomenum you refer to is certainly very common in the industry, in this case, according to TV CH 10 Entertainment news this morning, all of the "tarento" and industry pundits on the show were shocked to see Odagiri there. They were all expecting another 25 y/o entertainment celebrity whom she has been dating and publicly assumed to be intimate with.

Odagiri was asked about this at the press conference, including if he was jealous or annoyed by the 25 y/o dalliance with Yuu. He said, "Oh, not at all! He was kind enough to call me right before this press conference and wish me well."

Go figure Japan geinokai...
