Oguri Shun & Yamada Yu's marriage press conference

Following Oguri Shun and Yamada Yu's marriage announcement on 12 March, Yamada held a press conference on 14 March which was also their 4th dating anniversary and the day when they registered their marriage. As Oguri was away in China for filming, Yamada appeared alone at the event with 150 members of the press. During the session, she showed her 2-carat engagement ring from Harry Winston worth about JPY 8m which was bought soon after Oguri's proposal.

Although Oguri was absent from the press conference, he gave a letter to his wife which she read on his behalf. At the end of the letter, he mentioned that he will leave the press conference to his wife Oguri Yu where Yamada commented that she had finally took on the surname of Oguri.

It had originally been decided that they were going to get married last year on Yamada's birthday but the plan was aborted due to the earthquake and tsunami crisis. Oguri officially proposed in early March this year but Yamada did not want to reveal details of it. It took her about 10 minutes to realise what was happening and the episode made her burst out in tears.

When asked about Oguri's popularity with the opposite sex and scandals that broke during their courtship, Yamada recounted that there were times when things were not going well for them but looking back, she thought that they were challenges which made them stronger in the end. However, if this type of scandals come up in future, Yamada jokingly remarked that she will strangle her husband.

Yamada commented that they would like to have their wedding within this year and aims to have at least three children just like Oguri's family.
