Masato Nakamura, the leader of a popular J-pop duo, "Dreams Come True," has tied the knot with a 20-year-old female vocalist of a rock band, their management offices announced on Wednesday. Nakamura, 49, married Maki Onaga, 20, vocalist for the six-member rock band, "High and Mighty Color" [above].Onaga will reportedly quit her band by the end of this year. Nakamura has been composing numerous tunes and playing bass guitar for Dreams Come True, which was formed in 1988 with vocalist Miwa Yoshida and Takahiro Nishikawa. Nishikawa later left the band.
Most headlines are focused on the couple's 29 year age difference but I'm also struck by the fact that Onaga plans to leave her band. I wonder whether that was her decision, his decision or her manager's decision.
