What interests me most today isn't the media coverage of Hideki Matsui's marriage, but rather this line buried in an article in the Daily News: "Matsui, also known back home for his large collection of porn films, said he and his wife have been planning their wedding for a year." Needless to say, this called for some further digging. Evidently in '03 Matsui was featured in the Asian edition of Time Magazine. An excerpt: "Indeed, his only eccentricity, if it can be called that, is his extensive private library of adult videos. His refreshing ability to laugh self-deprecatingly about his porno collection, reporters say, is one reason why fans and even nonfans have taken to him so much." So Hideki Matsui is the Porn King of Japan. Who knew?
