Once upon a time….. I was walking in Ebisu when I saw this gorgeous Japanese girl passing me. I stopped her immediately and asked her to enter the Miss Universe Japan 1999 competition. She did!

Fast forward 2 months later….

One of the judges for the final was rock-star and lead-singer of the Duran Duran band: Simon Le Bon. But 2 days before the final Simon unfortunately canceled due to some travel problems. Nick Wood, Simon’s dear friend, business partner and top music producer, replaced him and when he saw Norico on stage his jaws dropped and he felt instantly in love.

Fast forward a few years later, and here they are celebrating their union, their love and their future together. My baby girl is so beautiful, pure, elegant, fascinating in her wedding dress. I am so proud. I love you Norico, you are one of the sweetest on earth, you have a pure heart and a big one.

“If you love someone, let them go. If they return to you, it was meant to be. If they don’t, their love was never yours to begin with…”

Listening the funny stories about Nick by his ex-roommate: supermodel Yasmin Le Bon and super-designer Marc Newson.

Nick has so many funny stories. He is bigger than life, one of the most unique and sincere person on this earth. I do have many funny memories or stories as well, from Tokyo, Dubai….

Yasmin Le Bon is spectacular, simple, fresh, bubbling. I have a lot of admiration for Yasmin. She is pure gold, no wonder so many couple break up but together with Simon, they are still together, loving after a decade. More than 25 years married!
