Yep, never heard of either of them but the very best of luck to them.

I think I have lived in Japan long enough to know who Exile is. I know the faces, not the names so much. I do know Exile members get all of the ladies though.

I can't believe Lin Chi-ling is 44, she looks more like 30 and is gorgeous.

This is clearly a "Marry-down" case for Lin Chi Ling, she could have married some Taiwanese billionaire tycoon in her 30s, but she is in her 40s now so her options are limited. In this pairing, it is Lin who is financially responsible for the couple. Not sure if this pairing would work in patriarchal Japanese society.

The lesson to draw from this pairing is women shouldn't put off getting married by age 30, even if they are big shot superstars.

What a massively negative post. As though marriage is nothing more than a financial transaction.

Perhaps when she was younger she wanted to be more than the trophy bride of some slimy billionaire. She is probably satisfied with the millions that she owns in her own name and the luxury lifestyle it brings. Why would she want to exchange that for more material wealth and a tedious life?

And hardly anyone gets married much before they're 30 these days. And they certainly shouldn't take a lesson from you

My kudos as well. As for an 'Exile', there's a country rock band by that name in America. They scored hits and wrote some for others. They hit #1 with 'Kiss Ya All Over' in 1978. I met them after seeing them perform. Good band, nice guys.
