Marriage by the end of the year?  This year Erika left Japan to have a ‘long vacation’ in London. She didn’t went alone as we all know. Her ‘good friend’ Takashiro went with her. However, instead of living in a hotel, they both actually seem to live a very happy life similar to a married couple. Now we all wonder (or fear) whether a marriage within 2008 is possible or not. To find out what exactly we know and why marriage actually might not be that bad, keep on reading. I’m skipping what happened last year, you all should know by now. After all the mess, Erika and Takashiro decided to go to Britain together, with plans for her to come back sometime again. Up until now her presence in London is still considered to be a ‘long vacation’ only. At the end of last month and the beginning of this month, rumors appeared about them coming back to Japan very soon. An insider now says that it probably started because of Takashiro’s work. However, he doesn’t think that his work will force them to come back as Takashiro can basically work from around the world as long as he has access to a computer or his laptop. As both of them don’t really have to be concerned about money, it shouldn’t be problematic to stay in an expensive hotel during their long vacation, yet they don’t seem to live that way. “Takashiro actually bought a high class apartment there for them to stay in. It seems as if they want to settle down there. There are eye-witnesses of them buying goods in a local supermarket. You can’t deny that they are living in a ‘de facto marriage’ right now,” we learn from the same insider. Even though Erika caused a lot of trouble last year, she has been the biggest earner for her agency. Shouldn’t a comeback easily be possible for somebody like her? “The incident ruined her image quite bad. It takes some time to calm down the people and she should enjoy her vacation in London as for now,” thinks a professional for public entertainment. It obviously is very comfortable for them in London, nobody is chasing them down, people are leaving them alone. You could say that a marriage under such conditions might be highly possible. An insider of an advertising firm even thinks of it as a great chance for her to clean her image. “If she really considers a comeback, she would have to change a lot to free herself from the bad image,” he says. “As a married woman and maybe even as a mother it would be a lot easier for her than trying to keep on going with her current bold and sexy routine.” Last year they both have kept on saying that they are only good friends. The person from the advertising firm, however, tells us that he actually met Takashiro in a bar last year and asked him ‘Is Erika your big love?’ and according to him, he answered, “Yes, she really is.” More than that, he actually already introduced Erika to his mother and his older brother. “The fact that they still live as an unmarried couple must be due to the current circumstances,” he adds. If Erika really plans to marry this year, she will definitely be on the top of every news again.
