Well, my gal is getting more domesticated (from Japan Zone): :smitten:
Actress Yonekura Ryoko (30) is to start doing "hanayome shugyo," or training in the homemaking arts, according to the women's fashion magazine Miss. Usually a sign of impending marriage, in this case it's actually a series of articles in which the popular actress will learn things like cooking and cleaning from experts. The series, the first in the magazine to feature an actress, will run for a year from the February edition. Speculation about a possible marriage might have been rife except for the fact that Yonekura just recently split up with popular kabuki actor Ichikawa Ebizo (28).

That'll never happen: it would take away the entire SMAP mystique. ;)
you're most certainly right though humans imbued with common sense should know there's hardly anything mystical about it....aside from the fact that food usually does look pretty dayem tasty...but not as tasty as some of the female guests.

Food and sex: a winning combo (see Tampopo :hehe: ).
The tabloid newspapers have been reporting recently that the latest "big couple," as they say in Japan, — namely, budding kabuki actor Ebizo Ichikawa, 28, and actress Ryoko Yonekura, 30 — have broken up.
There were indications however, that their relationship already ended months ago. A friend of Ichikawa recalls seeing him carelessly throwing a cell phone strap, which had been a gift from Yonekura, into a trashcan. "I was surprised because it was made of gold and looked really expensive."
According to an acquaintance, the relationship ended soon after Golden Week in May when Yonekura could no longer tolerate Ichikawa's obsessive attitude. "Don't go to that store" and "Who are you hanging out with?" were some of Ichikawa's frequently asked questions, said the friend.
However, it seems that they were not able to completely free themselves from each other. Even after the breakup, the two were seen together in public at restaurants on various occasions, and also at the funeral of Yonekura's father in November.
"It is apparent, at least to us, that Ichikawa still has a lingering affection for Yonekura," said one kabuki insider. "After the breakup, Yonekura agreed to see him in person as a 'friend' after being pestered continuously by Ichikawa. Recently, a magazine misreported their engagement but it is probably because the two were still often seen together in public."
Yonekura hasn't suffered from a lack of suitors. When the breakup between the two became official, popular singer Gackt, who had worked with Yonekura for Takano Yuri Beauty Clinic TV commercials, approached her aggressively. :bleh:
"Gackt had written a song for her and wanted to give it to her as a present," said a celebrity gossip reporter. "But Yonekura rejected it. She was furious when she saw an article about the two being close. She was quoted as saying 'Why in hell would I be in a relationship with Gackt right after breaking up with Ebizo? I was relieved to be out of a relationship!'"
Yonekura's acting career is on the rise and nothing, not even a love relationship, will hold her back. She was highly praised for her lead in the TV drama Kurokawa-no-Techo in 2004. "I am 'married' to my work," she often says to show how much she is determined and willing to devote herself to her career.
After dumping two handsome men, she is currently filming a new TV drama, Kemonomichi, which will air in January. (Translated by Toshiya Fujii)
