MoMu and Ultraman sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G

MOMULTRA!First comes love, then comes–oops!

Ah well, can’t get it right all the time. I’m referring, of course, to the July 17th wedding of Nozomi Tsuji, former Morning Musume (I only know her from this) and Taiyou Sugiura, of Ultraman Cosmos fame.

Interestingly enough, their marriage was a “done-it marriage” (できちゃった結婚 or デキコン); at the time of the ceremony, Tsuji (who had only just turned 20) was already more than 2 months pregnant. Mildly surprising for someone who has worn pigtails and sequined toddler clothes her entire life.

Anyway, I figured I’d post about this, seeing how some of you seem to have in interest in things MoMu. This video, conveniently subbed for those of us who are lazy (me!) or not quite fluent in Japanese, explains the situation pretty fully. It will answer most of your burning questions, the most important of which is, I’m sure: what pet names do Tsuji and Sugiura have for each other? I’ve been dying to know, at least. Oh, and, there’s a little repeat in the video. Ignore it, please.

    Well it looks like she really grew up.. no more crazy-short-bangs. Boom, shaka, boom, shaka… Ultraman couldn’t resist those moves from “Suprise Tsuji Dance Lessons”. I guess in a couple more months they’ll have their very own minimoni… haha.

    Oh god…this is like the third time that has happened to me. I have that first song playing in the background on my computer. -_- it’s pretty old isn’t it? Anyway wow…too much music I guess…ok I had no idea who these people are, but the two photos you have supplied…are pretty awesome. And the video is intertaining…except…Morning Musume kinda creeps me out. Dunno about this Ultraman yet though…

    Ah, didn’t realise Tsuji’s so cute. I was always captivated by the way-cuter (imho) Kago Ai. Pooor Kago.

    Interesting that she consulted her talent agency. I suppose Japanese people always consult their companies about weddings and such things.

    I’m sure celebrities everywhere talk to their agents about their relationships, actually. Sounds weird… but probably true.

    In the United States we call that a “shot-gun marriage”. I hope that their marriage would be a good one and, unlike many other failed marriages by celebrities, would be a long and blissful one.

    They really seem to have their act together. They planned out their future together and everything. It must be interesting for the kid to have two celebrity parents. Aren’t kids usually the ones who like Ultraman? They’ll be the envy of all the other little rugrats.

    Lol!!! I luv the nicknames… ;) Soo cute… It’ll be interesting to watch and see how their marriage turns out… Whenever I hear about a new celebrity marriages, I always hope it turns out – although… the more publicized it is, usually the less substance there is to it. At least that’s been my experience… :(

    Kinda scary to think that she’s the same age as me… I cannot imagine getting married at this point in my life… *shakes head vigorously* (March 10…. one day too late for my b-day… XD that would’ve been cool to share birth dates… ;) )
