    My parents differ 10 years, and I have had a girlfriend that was 7 years younger (but ... males in my family look younger then they are ;) )
    But 15 years is a lot, even with 7 years sometimes my girlfriend would refer to something which made me realise there was quite an age gap :/

    The most worrying thing is always about the late years. Males already have statistically slightly shorter average lifespan than females, so you must really know yourself well and plan the late years accordingly if you're going to marry a guy 15 years older.

    That's a great pic .... but it does look likes he's stepping on the hem of her dress, that's bit weird ;)
    (and something you as a photographer always miss, but then notice in post-processing :/ unless you are really good at your job)

    But Takamina looks great as a bride

    I keep thinking of the Mechaike dokkiri when the group was asked about who they would like to marry, and she answered a short man (given her "date" in the dokkiri). All her friends were like "wtf"; Takamina always said she wants to marry a tall man.

    Tall ..... and handsome :D

    The other Mechaike member never stopped rubbing that in with Takashi Okamura-san :D "so, that means he's short *and* ugly" :D

    The third degree interrogation Nyan-nyan, Miichan and Sasshii started was hilarious, I hope they won't do that to Takamina's real husband ;)

    Nyannyan, Sasshi, Miichan part was the best! I also love that before they knew it was Okamura they talked about how stylish his clothes were, so he must be handsome, and when they thought she might be dating someone from EXILE.

    I'm going to have to rewatch it when I get home!

    I still have a sneaky suspicion those three had serious doubts about the validity of Takamina dating Okamura, it's a pity Miichan got cut off when she said "She cried too much!" because we'll always wonder what she would have said next ... otoh ... what we got was Sasshii mimicking Okamura touching Takamina .... :D
    It's kinda weird Mako-chan got scolded online for not using an honorific (Gun-chan) while Sasshii and Miichan are kinda mercilessly mocking Okamura .... otoh ... I remember de BAKA48 Mechaike ... he got it coming ... and, took it in stride.

    I agree, I think they knew it was a prank, especially when they started to call it out. I don't even know how Takamina could keep from cracking for so long with those three. But lol Saaaaeee.

    Those three never bought into it after it was revealed to be Okamura. That's why they seperated them from the others.
    And if you look at the "reveal", where Okamura joins in to apologize, they basically have 3 groups:
    1)Sasshi/Miichan/Kojiharu
    2)Other Veteran Members that have known Takamina for years and also worked on Mechaike before. (Jurina, Sae etc.)
    3)Younger members and those that weren't that close to Takamina.

    Only the last group remained silent and worried, group 2 broke down laughing realising what was happening and group 1 joked around the whole time, with Miichan going for the perfect Variety fodder in commenting about Okamura being the opposite of Takaminas type.
    Most of the involved members knew after that part what was happening I'd say.
    Sae's expression the moment Okamura entered screamed of her thinking "how could I ever fall for this?" [hehe]

    This is my rough, quick translation of the letter;

    To all of the fans who have always supported me, to everyone who is concerned,

    I am sorry about talking about private matters, but
    I, Takahashi Minami, registered in marriage on May 1 with a man whom I have had a long relationship with.

    I would like to report on what I did. He was born in the Showa era, he is 15 years older, and I was born in the Heisei era, and we decided to walk into "Reiwa" as a family at the beginning of the new era.

    He is a very gentle man who is also liked by my crazy cats at home.
    His smile supports me daily.

    From now on, I'd like to build a family with him that is unique to us, while co-operating as a couple.
    I will continue to work hard, so I hope you will treat me warmly in the future.

    Just an aside ... it might be just one cat (it's Japanese, which can be pretty ambiguous about these kind of things) .... I think I've seen only one cat her twitter feed, anyway, Takamina was worried sick when it went for surgery earlier this year.

    Not quite sure if I've understood this correctly but ModelPress has just published an article about Takamina in which it looks like she appeared on a Fuji TV show with her new husband but he hid his face with a towel:
