Nobunari Oda talks about married life

[orbitz]

Everybody has their own way of doing things. I took the article to mean that Oda was saying she scolded him because he wasn't doing it the way she liked it done.

Maybe his skating fans can give him one of those clothing folding gadget that you see in the infomercial.

Does anyone know if Nobunari,s wife is japanese, and is there any pictures of them?

[maclou]

She is Japanese, she went to school with him.

I can't properly fold a shirt to save my life. Towels, I am fine with it. I just hang things.

Awwww.
Are there any photos of Nobu's wife? They must make a cute couple.

We're Japanese and my hubby does a TON of housework. We take turns doing the laundry, washing the dishes, etc.... He does a great job taking care of our 3-yr old son too. My brother-in-law is the same. I think Japanese men have changed a lot since our parents' generation. Or I got really lucky.

I don't think there any photos of Nobu's wife (where her face can be clearly visible) publically available because Nobu wanted her to be able to keep her privacy. There was a TV show (Kinsuma Harabanjo) with Nobu back in April 2006 where the anchor (Azumi) tried to get Nobu to tell who his girlfriend was and eventually cajoled Nobunari into showing him her photo on the cellphone. Then Azumi pretended to show the photo to the cameras and Nobu freaked out.
Azumi said that Nobu's then-girlfriend looked very cute and like the actress in the screencap:

However, on Nobu's official fanpage there are a couple of photos with him and his wife:

(You need to scroll a bit down to see the photos).
The photos are taken either from far away or from the back, so the lady's face can't be seen, but her kimono is gorgeous. I especially like the photo where Nobunari is smiling at his wife, very adorable.


(BTW the Kinsuma Harabanjo show was hilarious - Azumi followed Nobu to a jewellry show where Nobu wanted to pick out a pair of rings for him and his girlfriend for their anniversary. Eventually Azumi said: "When we stand here like this, it looks like we were buying rings for each other..." )

I remember someone said that his girlfriend was really cute and they fit each other really well I think I've seen a picture of them together but I'm not 100% that it's her and I think it's a somewhat private picture so I don't want to post it, I thought they looked cute together though (if that even was her )

Congratulations Oda! Still can't believe he's married and will become a father in 2 months. He looks just like a 12 yo boy!

Sounds like, Nobu is one happy dude at the moment. Good for him.

I just hang things as well (including some fresh towels that go right back on the towel rack). But that's because I don't see a need for folding. However, it's not rocket science - I'm sure that with a minimum of effort you too can learn to fold clothes perfectly.

Somebody uploaded the program on YT:
