Good luck! Unfortunately, I doubt it will last very long. It has all the makings of a media marriage. Mr. Sometani wants to be recognized, so he can get big time roles like Ms. Kikuchi (doubt it). Ms. Kikuchi wants to get respect amongst her Japanese peers as being desirable with a young man who is easy to control.
TSK TSK!

Speculation on how long a marriage will last is deleted as "Off topic"?
Moderator: Why even speculate? Show some class and wish them well.

I'll give this marriage 3 years tops. I bet they quietly divorce so they don't get embarrassed.

I doubt the relationship will last very long! Mr. Sometani married her, so he can become better known in the industry. Since Ms. Kikuchi is based in New York, she married a very young man to stay relevant amongst her peers in the Japanese media. They will probably spend very little time with each other then divorce a year or so later.

For many famous people, getting married is like a long date. They can enjoy each other without gossip and rumors, and get divorced when they tire of it.
