On February 18, singer-songwriter Utada Hikaru (31), who revealed earlier this month that she would marry an Italian man (23), announced on her Inter FM program in her natural voice that "I�will be getting married."

She thanked everyone with, "I was happy to hear the well wishes from everyone," and explained disinterestedly that, "I did not deliberately choose an international marriage. �Rather, it happened unexpectedly not to be a Japanese person who I became acquainted with, and who matches me�amazingly... His family even talks dirty jokes with me. They are very lively, but also delicate which is same as Japanese people."�

Her husband is a bartender at a high-end hotel in London, England and she met him last year through a friend. �The couple plans to hold their ceremony in the southern Italian city of Fasano on May 23.
