Okay, there's been some discussion about this actress. Time for her own thread, here's a link to her website:http://nagasaku-hiromi.com/

And some bio info:

Name: 永作博美
Name (romaji): Nagasaku Hiromi
Profession: Actress and singer
Birthdate: 1970-Oct-14
Birthplace: Ibaraki, Japan
Height: 156cm
Weight: 40kg
Star sign: Libra
Blood type: B

I wanted to mention she is very good in Kyoumei ga Tsuji http://jdorama.com/drama_967.htm as Yodo, a totally evil B-I-A-T-C-H. IIRC, she doesn't appear till somewhere in the second half of the taiga so it would take some heavy use of the fast forward button to get to her part.

It's trippy.

I had seen but not seen Nagasaku in a couple of things. Jikou Keisatsu. Kyoumei Ga Tsuji. Who knows what else.

But then I got a copy of Funuke Domo

http://www.phantom-film.com/library/site/funuke/

A black comedy staring Sato Eriko. I got the movie because... well, becasue Sato Eriko was the star and really, that was gonna be enough.

I got it because it's a black comedy, and that's how my taste runs. It's the story of the beautiful, but monsterous older sister who comes back to her home town... to her famliy's home, and makes her younger sister's life miserable.

What I didn't know before watching it was that Nagasaku Hiromi was in it, playing the demon sister's sister-in-law in a comic relief part within a comedy... and she absolutely ran away with the movie.

A high concept comedy. One of my favorite sex symbols as the star. And all I can really remember about the movie is Nagasaku.

I just finished Maki Yoko's series, "Shukan Maki Yoko" and Nagasaku is her co-star in the final episode. Those two working together is about as good as it gets.

Thinking about it... Jikou Keisatsu did pretty well by itself in terms of guest stars. Ikewaki Chzuru in the second episode. Nagasaku Hiromi in the fourth. And Maki Yoko in the eighth.

I knew there was a reason I liked that show so much.

Do Artistes lose their charm as they get older? My favorite idol is turning 40 next year and he's fresh as ever. <3

Not at all, I'm thinking that Nagasaku must be drinking the same mineral water as Hitomi Kuroki. They both look better than most women half their age.

Only if you let them.

OK, she does look like Miyazaki Aoi. And looks GREAT, for her age - or for any age

I wonder why no one posted her ribbon stuff. Check this out (she's in the yellow outfit):

From Wiki:

Quote:

Ribbon was a Japanese pop (or J-pop) group which consist of Hiromi Nagasaku, Arimi Matsuno and Aiko Satoh. They released their first single on 6 December 1989, and their final album before they disbanded on 18 March 1994.

Well, I was close.
