Japanese Spouses of the Rich and Famous

[Greji]

Well I guess that depends on your age! If you're 30 then yeah, dastardly sin. If you're 60 then no dastardly sin in my books.

Ahh, Lurk.... Which one has to be 30 and which one has to be 60?

[FG Lurker]

Ahh, Lurk.... Which one has to be 30 and which one has to be 60?

60 - 19 =
30 - 19 = Problem

37 - 19 also = and that would work for me!

[Samurai_Jerk]

37 - 19 also = and that would work for me!

I think that'd work wonders for just about anyone.

[Samurai_Jerk]

The older you get the greater the sense of accomplishment in the age difference (younger), ne. If your gf is really you minus 19 - Tu Salud.

At 70 she's still an old bag though.

The older you get the greater the sense of accomplishment in the age difference (younger), ne. If your gf is really you minus 19 - Tu Salud.

so could we define the sense of success as a function of age ratio or does it make more sense to keep it in terms of absolute difference in age?

in greji's case, we'd take his age minus hers and we derive that she's about 100, giving us a ratio of about 0.8403361.

let's say, hypothetically of course, because i'm married, that at 33 i had a 23 y.o. gf. this gives an absolute age difference of only 10 years vs. greji's quite commendable 19 but a ratio of .69696969 which is also a very nice number.

who should feel more accomplished?

[Mike Oxlong]

At 70 she's still an old bag though.

Yeah, he's slumming!

[nottu]

[james]

Excellent observation. However, I think the equation would be curvelinear rather than directly variable.

agreed. my stats are weak but i'd be more than willing, as are you, to help with data collection.

I'm very busy but I could probably help out with some of the 30-35 year olds.

ok, i'll cover the 18-29 year olds but since that's a wider bracket we should have a couple people on it.

that leaves greji to cover 36-120, barnyard animals, pies and the occasional grey performing a rectal probe.

[FG Lurker]

Yeah, he's slumming!

Only problem is that when she takes off that titanium re-enforced bra she ends up with kneeples...

[nottu]

[james]

Having a "couple people" on it - are you talking threesomes here. I think thats outside the bounds of the original case study.

i like the cut of your jib but you're right, the FMF couples research will have to wait for the next phase of study.

funding could be an issue too, as i figure the kind of girls that would double up on a guy like me need money.

[nottu]

[Greji]

The FMF thing warrants a parallel study in my opinion - strictly as a type of control - I think I should handle it personally.
I don't think funding will be a problem - Iraira said he would put up $257,949.00 if we let him watch.

He can only watch. I stole his viagra stash last night....

I think they are quite fun. So what's your point here? Are you worried about being the prober, or the probee?

What's the difference? You're getting screwed one way or another.

Anyone else noticed what acronym that phrase spelled out....?

Arthel Neville is a journalist and TV personality, the daughter of musician Art Neville. For those unfamiliar with her work in the US, she came to national prominence on the entertainment news show "Extreme Close-Up" and later went on CNN to become "the first African-American woman to host her own show". Among her other TV work, she is currently hosting a morning news programme. In her private life, Neville first married Dallas Cowboys running back Derrick Lassic in 1995 but the couple divorced in 1998. Shortly afterwards, she met a percussionist performing with Isaac Hayes by the name of Taku Hirano and they began dating. A couple of years later, he proposed to her in a gondola in Venice and they married in Hawaii. Here's a snippet from an interview the couple gave in 2003 (found in Google cache):

[floatl][/floatl]Talented TV talker Arthel Neville and her husband, percussionist Taku Hirano, are such a surprising combination that those outside their intimate circle rarely think they're a couple. She's 40, high-profile and African-American. He's 30, laid-back and Japanese. "We'll go to an event and people will kind of claim her and say, 'Oh, yeah, I've known Arthel for so many years,'" Taku says. "I say, 'Oh, great.' And then they'll go, 'So who are you?' I say, 'I'm her husband'"...Still, you can't blame anyone for feeling as if Arthel is indeed a close friend. For more than a decade, she has been the "girlfriend next door," her upbeat effervescence making her a welcome guest in our living rooms...But who's her Japanese hottie? And how did they hook up?

Not surprisingly for a musician and the daughter of a musician, the couple met at a concert. Taku, who has worked with Lionel Richie, Whitney Houston, Dr. Dre, Stevie Wonder, Teena Marie and Yolanda Adams, was playing percussion for Isaac Hayes at a New Orleans jazz festival in April 1999. Dateless since her divorce, Arthel was hanging out in the VIP section with her mom..."I was on a dating hiatus for a year and a half. You couldn't ask me out for coffee, 'cause it wasn't going to happen," she remembers.

Okay, so her love life had so far registered a zero on the romantic Richter scale, but she definitely caught a powerful vibe that night. At first she couldn't see Taku from where she was sitting, but she remembers feeling the rhythm. "When the band members took solos, this percussionist was jamming," Arthel recalls excitedly. "So I looked over and I was shocked to see this Asian man. I touched my mother and said, 'Mom, Mom, do you see this guy?' And she said, 'I've been watching him the whole evening and he's great. And he's cute too.' 'Yeah,' I said, 'he is cute.'"

After the concert, the two met backstage and exchanged business cards. He said he would be in New York (where she worked for Fox) a month from then for rehearsals with Whitney Houston. He asked if he could take her out for lunch....A week before Taku was to arrive in New York, Arthel was on her way to a friend's wedding in Hawaii. "I had a one-hour stopover in L.A. before heading to Maui," she recalls. "But I said to myself, He's here. I want to see him." She called the airline and bought herself 23 more hours. They met for lunch at a Chinese restaurant. She was nervous, hoping he'd like her in person. He was impressed with her chopstick skills and learned that, like him, she loves sushi. "She was very good," Taku recalls.

...Arthel met with the enthusiastic approval of Taku's immediate family. "They're lovely. They treat me so well," she says of his parents and his brother. But she also impressed his more traditional grandmother. Arthel laughs at the memory. "The first thing Grandma Kiyoko said to Taku--in Japanese of course and not in my presence--she said, 'You've done well.' And then she asked, 'So, how is she with chopsticks?'"...

...Taku's family relocated from Osaka, his birthplace, to Fresno, California, for his father's business in textiles when he was 3 months old. There was no one in that community of cotton and fruit farmers who looked like him. Growing up, he remembers, "I never dated an Asian girl." His family transferred again, to Hong Kong, when he was in junior high. "I tended to gravitate toward the Americans, expatriate kids who had grown up all over the world," he says. When he returned to the States, he was planning on study at Juilliard and a classical music career. But he discovered Latin music, and he went on to study African, Cuban, Indian and Brazilian percussion. He was one of the first students to graduate from the Berklee College of Music in Boston with a degree in hand instruments...

Anyone else here thinks he could have done better? I mean he is Bond for pete's sake.

Kinda hard to tell ... perhaps she has "talents" that a photo can't quite convey.

I'd do her...

How disgraceful! Do you think people should marry on looks alone? How superficial. You should be ashamed of yourself, Bo-Sensei. There are more important things when it comes to marriage than mere looks. [color="White"](I reckon she must give greeeaaat head!!!!)[/color]

Hey! I saw what you did there!

Holy sheet, I think I've worked that wedding hall. The Arthentia in Kashiwa, by the looks of it.

[Screwed-down Hairdo]

Holy sheet, I think I've worked that bride...

[BigInJapan]

Dang, is Tommy Lee's career in the toilet or what?
I thought those Boss can coffee CM's were getting bad,
but acting as the groom for one of Japan's most unnattractive oba-san actresses?
Show's over.
