Earlier this week, Taiwanese-American singer Vanness Wu (吳建豪) surprised fans with his marriage announcement. While he never disclosed his wife’s identity in the initial announcement post, new reports say that the F4 member tied the knot with Japanese singer Emi Aramaki (荒卷繪美)!
According to news outlets, Vanness and Emi registered their marriage back in May in Las Vegas, United States. The singer’s management partner, B’in Music, confirmed the reports, acknowledging Emi as Vanness’ wife. Here are some fun facts about the singer-songwriter, a.k.a the new Mrs Wu:
Born In Japan, Raised In The United Kingdom
According to her profile, Emi was born in Fukuoka, Japan, but moved to the United Kingdom at age 9. She would later study and graduate from the prestigious University College London (UCL) with a degree in History. Upon returning to Japan, Emi signed with an agency to make her musical debut.
A Talented Singer-Songwriter
If you’re interested in modern City Pop, then you may have already heard some of Emi’s music. The singer, who writes her own music, blends English and Japanese in her songs. She has been a fan of Japanese pop music and jazz from a young age and takes inspiration from Showa-era pop. Some of her popular songs include “Lonely Night” and “Purple Dream”.
A Multifaceted Star
Besides music, Emi is also a talented actress. She trained at a drama school in the UK and has acted in several major international projects. According to her IMDb profile, she has appeared in “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit” and “FBI: International”. She also had a role in the upcoming BBC series, “The Hairdresser Mysteries”.
A Beauty That Transcends Era
While Emi is known for her City Pop music, her fashion mixes different eras and genres. As shown on her Instagram account, the singer can rock a modern look, dressing in stunning gowns and bold makeup. However, she has also shown a deep passion for Japanese culture. She often dons kimonos and holds tea ceremonies.
All in all, Emi is a beautiful and talented person who is also said to have an outstanding temperament, so Vanness is definitely lucky to call her his wife. Once again, we congratulate the couple on their marriage, and we hope their love will last a lifetime.
