Fashion designer and tarento Uno Kanda, 34, was on hand recently at Audi Forum in Harajuku for the release of the new Audi A5 Sportsback. However, the media were more interested in Kanda’s relationship with her husband, the pachinko mogul Takuro Ishimura, 40, whom she married in 2007. “We’re still high on that newlywed feeling and so in love,” she gushed. “The more you chew him, the better he tastes, like squid jerky!” Kanda also said the couple will be planning their seventh wedding ceremony sometime this year. “I’ve already fulfilled my dreams of becoming a tarento, model and a designer, but I’d also like to have a family. That’s what life is about, so I want to make both of those dreams come true.”
