I wish more people will debate about the kit rather than about Olivia.

The photo could have been taken from a different angle and would have looked nicer. It seems to me that the photographer is taking a pic of his own son for a family album.

There's one place I know of in Roppongi for such an incident. Wall Street. I bumped into a German Doctor one morning on the street of Tokyo. He told me that he went to Wall Street in Roppongi the night before. Lost his wallet and missed his flight. I took him back back to his hotel and helped him make a Police report. This was sometime in 2005.

She has wrinkles if you look carefully at the pic on Metropolis Magazine. And she looks weird in this full-length photo too. A face of early 30's and body of early 20s. And she doesn't look healthy too.

glaspar: I was in Singapore on a short business trip. Perhaps I only get to see people in my job industry. I know J girls in general are fashionable but most don't look as elegant ....it's just about brands.

aj201:
I was in Singapore last week for a business trip, didn't see anyone like those 'Ambassadors of Cute'....I think the girls over there have much better class in fashion, hair-styles, etc....than over here in Tokyo.

Anomaly Jr: I do know about SHIHO even before this news. She's just a normal J girl to me, nothing great. There's plenty of them on the street, only needed to be scouted. And she's not even 'mecha-kucha' famous, perhaps only famous of some sort....and good luck to you if she would want to marry you (even at 40)...unless you strike some lotteries to make yourself rich.
Shouganaika: I think you are naive about J women. Most J women (regardless of any profession) don't date just for the sake of dating. They plan their future well. They date a man if 'rieki ga aru'. You are lucky if you fall into their dating criteria. SHIHO is 32 and OLD for J women standard age for marriage. So she's in a hurry. The Judo Dude happens to be the only 33-year old around, who wants to marry a 32 year old J woman, when most 33-year old J men would rather marry a 25 year old one.
And as jonnyboy said, marriage IS a big deal in this society. And that's why also, most J parents even pay for their children's wedding expenses and ensure they and their family are financially secured too. They do all those just to make sure their children got married and live happily ever after. Marriage, children, family life are everything in this society.
And mind you shouganaika, this is a fact of life in J society, not a story I create to keep everything in tidy little boxes with all the little J men and J women doing what i expect them to do.
I think you are the one who needs the 'good luck' wish!...and not me.

I think you all missed the point...what I was trying to say is that, under normal circumstances, a J woman especially a model would only be looking for a rich man to marry. Comfortable future. The rich J men are not marrying a 32-year old. They would rather marry younger ones. Plenty of them around. SHIHO sounds desperate to me, because she's marry a Judo Dude who may be famous, but how much money does he have?

I was merely commenting on this J model. I think she's desperate because she's passed 30 and has to marry/bear children, to please her parents and society, because all J women are required to do so.
Many former models at my workplace ended up marrying salarymen because they simply have to get married. No Doctors, Lawyers, or Businessmen are around for them to date/get married to anymore....once they passed a certain standard age, eventhough they were once 'famous models'....
This is Japan!

She's 32 and only started dating her future husband 2 years ago. Hmmm..desperate case? Anyone's fine for her at this stage...I guess....:)

The whole idea seems silly to me. Those unemployed people are not interested in the nursing job but would be doing it out of desperation. And that would lead to more future professional negligence at hospitals in Japan.
Posted in: The government is encouraging unemployed people to become health care workers because there is a chronic shortage in the nursing care business. Do you think that is a good idea?

That is so true! I've seen the example at my work place. But I certainly won't marry those boring men...and I don't understand why my J women colleagues are so heads over heels about them...lol

Of course, losing my challenging, comfortable and well-paid job. But worse than that, is losing the ability to help others in need, as I have to take care of my rice bowl too...It will be a sad life for all if mass layoffs continue...
