[Translation] Yamaguchi Tatsuya, married...papa in summer 'I don't want to lose on sports day'
One can dream of finding someone as perfect as Yamaguchi Tatsuya. This article made me smile. A lot.
Bassist Yamaguchi Tatsuya of the popular 5 member band TOKIO married ex-model A-san on the 8th. They had been seeing each other for about 8 years and turned in their marriage certificate that morning. That night he told the fans at a concert in the Budokan. The ceremony is not yet set. They had been living together since 2004 and A-san is currently pregnant. Expecting his first child in the summer, Yamaguchi expressed his happiness by saying, "I don't want to lose to the younger fathers at sports day."
They met in October 1999 at a friend's party. Watching A-san help prepare the food, Yamaguchi, who says he doesn't believe in love at first sight, thought that she was different. They exchanged contact information. Yamaguchi says that she drinks more than he does. They enjoyed dinners and drives together and started dating in early 2000.
Debuting as TOKIO when he was 22, Yamaguchi said that he had "no desire to marry" but fell in love with A-san who "was the complete opposite of me and was normal. She as everything I am lacking and I fully respect her." He went to meet her parents in Sendai and said, "she can cook and she supports my work. I wanted her support." and became even more sure that he wanted her as his partner in life.
When he moved to Kamakura in 2004 because of his passion for surfing, A-san moved with him. "There were no actual words, but when we started pack for the move in 2003, I thnk that was my proposal" says Yamaguchi. After the final party for the 2006 fall tour, he went to Johnny's Jimusho to tell them of his desire to get married. He told the members, who know A-san about it last fall and they celebrated the decision.
The witnesses were Peter (a.k.a Ikehata Shinnosuke) and Yamaguchi Tomomitsu and the couple turned in the marriage document together at Kamakura City Hall. They would like to have a ceremony and reception for family and friends.
Last year Yamaguchi's desire to be a father grew stronger as he played a father in his drama "Juken no Kamisama" At the end of last year, they found out that A-san was pregnant. After eight years, he will be the papa he wants to be this summer. "I'm one of three brothers, so I'd like a boy. I want at least 2 kids." says Yamaguchi. One of the more built idols, smiling he said, "I don't want to lose to the younger fathers at sports day

His first impression was that she's a very level-headed. He fell in love with her because she kept him grounded. She took care of him. He wanted to protect her and be protected by her. When he realized it, she was an irreplaceable part of this life. Proposal was asking her to live with him in 2004 and the real details started when he talked about with Johnny's Jimusho after the 2006 GIGs tour. The ceremony/reception is not set, but will probably be close friends and family. Source: Sponichi Annex
He picked the first day of a concert tour so that he'll always remember it. While he was pretty sure he would marry her when they started to live together, he wanted to tell the fans first. He wanted to in 2007, but there was no concert, so he waited until this day and she was pregnant so he was able to tell the fans two pieces of happy news. He says he wants a boy so he can go surfing and camping with him. He hopes to have a simple dinner in celebration and another one after his child is born. Source: Sanspo
He was really happy when he introduced her to the members and they liked her and acknowledged the relationship. He talked with the members about when to tell the world and Yamaguchi really wanted to tell the fans directly. And so they chose to do it at a concert, but since there wasn't one in 2007, he waited until the 2008 tour. Source: Nikkan Sports
It was their 45 time performing in the Budokan. Matsuoka said "Tatsuya, omedetou" Nagase said that he was surprised but is really happy. Taichi and Leader smiled. Yamaguchi was really happy that the fans were happy. With a relieved face he said that with TOKIO's 15th coming up, he wants to get there with the fans. There is no ring yet. Ceremony probably after the baby is born. Source: Chunichi Sports
