Overcoming her husband’s hiatus… Juri Ueno & Sho Wada “Lovey-dovey 3 shots with their dog in a shopping arcade” found and photographed!
A Change in the Couple
One spring day, when the weather in Tokyo was as warm as early summer, a couple was enjoying shopping in a shopping street crowded with many shoppers. They were actress Juri Ueno (39) and musician Sho Wada (49).
Both were wearing hats and no “disguise” and did not seem to be bothered by being seen. Mr. Wada was wearing a pet carrier bag on a slant, and his dog was peeking out from inside.
The couple married in May 2004. They were married in May 2004 after about a year of dating.
In 2001, Ueno made her debut in the entertainment world as the third image girl of “Crearasil,” and in 2002, she appeared in her first drama in “Ars Vivendi: For My Beloved Daughter” (NHK). Her big break came in 2006 when she starred in the drama “Nodame Cantabile” (Fuji TV).
Wada, on the other hand, made his major debut in 1997 as the vocalist of the rock band TRICERATOPS, and his breakthrough came in 1999 when his single “Going to the Moon” was used in a Pocari Sweat commercial.
In the same year, they performed successfully at the Nippon Budokan. However, his activities slowed down in the ’10s, and he has been on an indefinite hiatus since January of this year. Ueno had always been a fan of “TRICERATOPS” and often visited their live performances. The suspension must have been a shock to Ueno.
Recently, a change has occurred in their married life.
In February of this year, Ueno reported on her Instagram that Malibu, a dog half Chihuahua and half miniature dachshund, had joined their family. When she welcomed Malibu into the family, she moved out of her luxury apartment where many celebrities reside and moved into a single-family home so that she could “stretch out and live with her dog.
(Ueno’s acquaintance) Currently, both the couple are saving their jobs. They must be spending a relaxing time with their new family.
