It's good to see their job is keeping them happy....not bored.

Looking at their faces and reading into that, one would have to wonder what happened just before they arrived at the opening.

I think Kikuchi just found his real age is 14. Either way, lucky bloke.

The honeymoon is over!

I've always thought her a drag...and judging by her sour look, I'd say I was right in thinking so! "Oh! The ennui that comes with being rich and famous!"

Speaking of drag...I mean, Shota (as in "Shota than my wife when she's wearing heels," perhaps?) did her husband borrow a pair of her shoes or what? Cute little girly bows you're sporting there, Slick!

Perhaps he accidentally called her mom. Or asked her to wear flats instead of heels.

do look like mother and son . . .

he could pass for a teenager any day of the week.

He looks like an adolescent Count Dracula.

In "Pacific Rim" she looked hot... here she just looks cold and emotionless. A pretty robot.

Let's not look too happy.

Well, it's a school night. No wonder he looks so cranky.

Oh well, as long as they're happy. There's a niche of Japanese women who go for the younger guys. This photo would seem to belie their happiness though

I've never been able to understand why Japanese women seem to think it "sexy" to stand "pigeon-toed"... I think it looks darned awful...

At least she picked a young guy who is "up-and-coming". He is getting more popular by the day.

When I first saw this picture, I thought for sure this was Haruka (the skinny one) of the Harisenbon duo...........

Jetlag much?

It's a long way from Japan to Germany. I've admired her acting ability since I first saw her in film. Babylon and then, in Pacific Rim. I think this is nothing more than Jet Lag. Unlike Johnny Dep, they probably didn't buy a jet to fly them to Germany. Bur their smile would really light up that room!

Rinko is shorter, less, rem, 'fuller' version of my wife (176 cm).

Bored AND anorexic. Poor examples of real Japanese talent.

They look like they were just drenched with ice-cold water.

I think Rinko is actually 34 as she was born on January 6, 1981, no?

Quite right. Thanks for spotting that.
