OSAKA — He had only been married a year when the man who now goes by the name Tomomi Sakura dropped a bombshell on his wife.

"You're really getting an old ladylike face," the wife had told him one evening as they relaxed after dinner. Sakura then told her, "Actually, I'm thinking about becoming an old lady officially."

"You're kidding!" was the wife's immediate reaction, Sakura said, adding that shocking her led to feelings of regret.
