For Matsu, her father is someone she respect. She lowers her head before him, and he interferes her love matters as well. This had been a trouble for her.
Let's review her repetitive failed relationships up to now. In 20 years of age, it was her relationship with a stylist, Noguchi Tsuyoshi. In 23 years of age, it was Yamamoto Koji. Three years ago, it was the guitarist who's 16 years older than her, it also failed.
"It is considered a requirement for Matsu's love partner to be someone born in a distinguished family with a credible status from the theatrical world. A man who likes to play around and a man who is extremely older than her, are irrelevant to the requirement. A man who can be approved by the parents is the top priority requirement.
Even if Matsu has feelings of protests, she don't have the courage to openly argue her parents' opinion. She is "Hakoiri Musume" (boxed/secluded daughter; a lady in the golden cage).
On the other hand, Matsumoto Koshiro is also the type of parent who cannot separate from his child, so he frequently calls and bothers Matsu's dates, and when the guy brings her home, Matsumoto Koshiro will approach the guy directly, complains on why he brings her daughter home so late. One of Matsu's ex-boyfriend actually lost his courage and just fled from the place, during face-to-face talk with her father." (an entertainment journalist)
Last year, Matsu who started dating her co-star, Ooizumi Yo, introduced him to her parents.
"Although Ooizumi Yo had guaranteed promising stocks to her parents, apparently his past faults were in the way. Recently his photos of "deeds" with his ex-sex friend was revealed all the way from beginning to end in a weekly magazine. Thus... for Matsumoto Koshiro, he's totally "out of the picture" now. Matsu, who has not so much luck with men, will be feeling "blue" again for the mean time." (an entertainment reporter)
Hence, Matsu doesn't seem to be interested or close with any man right now. During New Year, she was in her parents' house, stick to them. And when she has free time, she'll play around with her nephew and niece. Everyday, as her work ends, she'll straightly goes back to her room, and plays some TV games.
Although Matsumoto Koshiro said enthusiastically, "I'll find Takako a groom," ... but inside his heart, he might be just not ready to give away her daughter yet.

thx 4 the article yannnn....
I dunno why when I was reading it.. I keep thinking "what about Kimutaku??? what about Kimutaku??? does he meet the requirements????"... LOLz....
those 3 had dinner together rite?? Matsumoto Koshiro, Matsu Takako and Kimutaku...
Yah... to think that Koshiro-san said, "I will find Takako a groom!". Then 1-2 months later, he invited Kimura to a dinner together with him and Matsu just the three of them
Actually I love Yamamoto Koji. He's a good actor and a good singer. I love his performance in the Japanese musical adaptation of Les Miserables as Marius! I hope she gets back with him, if she can't be together with Kimura xD
Oh, but Koji is rumoured that he's dating Sato Eriko now... _________________

One of Matsu Takako's famous stageplay is RONINGAI in 2004. Roningai is a stageplay set in the Edo period, starring Karasawa Toshiaki, Matsu Takako, Nakamura Shido(Matsu's cousin), Tanaka Misako, also Narimiya Hiroki.
Roningai tells about a wandering useless -good for nothing- samurai, Aramaki Gennai (Karasawa) who meet a pickpocket, Oshin (Matsu), one day. They become friends, and Aramaki come to live, depending on the pickpocket money income from Oshin. Other than Oshin, Aramaki also meets other people in his journey, like Gonbee (Ihara Tsuyoshi) who falls in love with Oshin. And his real bestfriend, Akaushi (Nakamura Shido). All four become good friends, and hangs out with each other alot.
One time, there's a continuous nights of murder, in the neighbourhood of foodshop where Oshin works. This murder, will have big effects to the 4 people.
I wish I can watch Matsu on stage musical plays someday She is such a marvelous stage actress. _________________
For theater director Ninagawa Yukio (70), the role of Joan of Arc was made just for Matsu Takako (29), an actress he has wanted to work with again for many years. He has cast Matsu as the star of his latest production, "Hibari" (The Lark), in which she will play the 15th century heroine. The play was written by French playwright Jean Anouilh in 1953. Ninagawa and Matsu first worked together in 1995, when he cast the high school girl as Ophelia in his version of "Hamlet". Three years later, with Sanada Hiroyuki playing the Danish prince, they took the production to London. It helped cement Ninogawa's reputation as one of the world's leading Shakespeare interpreters. Over the last nine years, he has tried several times to come up with a suitable project for his favorite actress, but she has been constantly busy, including several theater runs alongside her father, Matsumoto Koshiro in "The Man From La Mancha", and a wide range of TV dramas. "Matsu-san is one of the very few Japanese actresses who can perform at the top level of international theater," he said. "This play and the role of Joan of Arc could have been written just for her." Hibari is scheduled to open at the Bunkamura Theater Cocoon next February. _________________
