Aisaika

I hope all you married men out there said thank you to your wives yesterday, as it was “Beloved Wives Day”, according to the Japan Aisaika (Devoted Husbands) Association: 日本愛妻家協会

Their five-step method to marriage bliss is as follows:
1. Return home early
2. Create the right atmosphere
3. Call her by her name (revolutionary stuff this…)
4. Look at her when you talk to her
5. Be responsive when she talks to you

The BBC covered the story.
Thanks to Ippoippo.

Hi,

This is not related to the previous post–but I would really like to know if anybody in Tokyo has seen my friend–Tomppa–is his name…

I would just like to know his whereabouts (not that he’s hiding or anything…) ‘coz I’m sure he’d be thrilled to receive from a gorgeous gal (moi!)a giant heart-shaped red Valentine card to him on February 14!

Hugs and Kisses,
Maria (Tomppa’s Enamored)

Hello ! My name is Leone. I study Japanese in France and I want to talk about Aisaika organization. I would like to know if the day of “beloved wives” is one day of the year ?
Thank you to help me ! (I am not able to understand the Japanese version of the website)

In fact, I’m pleaantly surprised by knowing of this kind of “Beloved Wives Day”. I think you Tokyo people are very creative and humanistic. Good work!
It doesn’t matter that the number of the respondent action of husbands is not so large. The idea is already spectacular.
Now I have a different look on you Japanese men. HEHE~

Leone: Aisaika have an English page: http://www.aisaika.org/en/prospectus.html
The idea started this year and I guess they plan to hold it once a year if all goes well.
