Kano refused marriage proposal from British guy

TOKYO — Celebrity Kyoko Kano, 46, says she said no to a marriage proposal from British guy last year because “the British pound was cheaper against yen.” Translation: the guy wasn’t rich enough.

Speaking at a promotional event for American cosmetic brand “Love & Hate,” in which she collaborated, Kano recommended the products for a Valentine’s Day present.

Getting back to her recent love life, Kano said the British man proposed at the end of last year. “I didn’t give him a definite no. I have to see how the yen-pound rate goes this year.” - TJT
