Sawajiri Erika and the Kano Sisters plan to release a nude gfairy taleh photobook?
by HPriest on February 20, 2011 at 10:55 am

Seeing the names Sawajiri Erika and the Kano Sisters, along with the words gnudeh and gfairy taleh put together into a single headline, already is reason enough to assume that the writer of that tabloid must have been well away when writing the story. However, letfs still indulge further into the article of the gShukan Jitsuwah just in case it might contain a few traces of truth.

The tacky article began with a nice little introductory of Sawajiri, an actress having it difficult to find a job as an actress, and an artist sick of just becoming another artist at Avex. There simply canft be an article about her without a few side blows, just enough to not make it sound like defamation. Letfs proceed to the actual new story though.

Apparently she has been getting in touch with the wealthy Kano Sisters, who are just as known for being targeted by all kind of tabloids. We have not yet gotten into muddy waters, as their get-together really happened during one of the parties organized by Sawajirifs biggest gguardianh, Takano Yuri. The Kano Sisters also posted a picture on their blog back in January, as seen above.

Now the tabloid claims to have gotten wind about an absolutely secret plan of Sawajiri and the Kano Sisters to join hands for an upcoming photobook that has already found itself a major publisher. Their source also revealed that it is in fact going to be a ghair nudeh photobook, a certain kind of collection of nude artistic photographs the Kano Sisters are already familiar with.

Further, it looks like Sawajiri herself is going to be the photographer for the photobook, and that itfs going to contain several gfairy taleh themes similar to the styles of gAlice in Wonderlandh, gSnow Whiteh, etc. In fact, the source claimed that she herself has actually written an erotic novel to be used as a base for the pictures.

The Kano Sisters will not only work as producers for the fanciful photobook, they will also make a sexy appearance while wearing just as much clothes as Sawajiri.

The tabloid source continued, gShe wants to put the pictures on exhibition in Europe and America. They are also supposed to become useful for her promotions as an actress. It would be beneficial to have the Kano Sisters, who have various ties to well-know people around the world, as one of her biggest supporters.h

It has always been rumored that Sawajiri was going to release a rather risqué photobook sometime soon, so a few true facts might have actually made their way into the story. The fantasy-like concept has already been seen in her recent pictorials, so a fairy-tale-based photobook does sound intriguing. However, how much you are going to believe is up to you.

JapanToday:
Actress Sawajiri plans to file for divorce on or after May 16

Actress Erika Sawajiri said Monday she plans to file for divorce from her video artist husband Tsuyoshi Takashiro on or after May 16. eeWe (Sawajiri and Takashiro) agreed on a deadline (May 16) and after this date, I will submit a divorce paper under my authority,ff the 24-year-old actress said in a press conference. Sawajiri and Takashiro, 46, tied the knot in January 2009.
She dismissed media reports that she has been in a relationship with a Spanish man, saying, eeI know him, but they (the reports) are groundless.fe
The press conference was held in Tokyo to introduce a new TV commercial featuring the actress for Takano Yuri Beauty Clinic, a major esthetic salon operator.
Sawajiri said she sympathizes with the message in the commercial, which is about womenfs eedual natureff of being able to be both saint and villain. eeThatfs so me,ff she said.
She made her comeback in March 2010 when she appeared in a commercial for the same beauty company after being away from entertainment circles due to problematic behavior in 2007.
Sawajiri came under fire for behavior widely regarded as disrespectful to people around her, including the director who shot a film with her, during an event in 2007, resulting in the industry shunning her.
She said Monday she has been offered parts in a number of films and is currently arranging her schedule to appear in a film that will be released in 2012.

Avex enters business partnership to manage Sawajiri Erika
May 2, 2011

Avex announced on Monday that its Avex Management division has entered a formal business partnership with the private management office of actress Sawajiri Erika. The partnership contract has already been in effect since April 1st of this year, putting Avex Management in charge of managing her show business-related activities in Japan.

Sawajiri stated that she plans to keep acting at the center of her career while expanding into other areas. She said that she recently finished filming a commercial, but she is aiming to return to film and television dramas as soon as possible.

The specifics of the contract between Avex and Sawajirifs management office are unclear. It seems that the management office is a private company representing Sawajiri in Japan, though the name of the office was not revealed. Meanwhile, Sawajiri still has her own management office in Spain which handles her personal affairs.

"Effective since April 1st" eh? Do they celebrate April Fools' Day in Japan? ;)

Rumors abound over why Sawajiri Erika has yet to finalize her divorce



Back in April, the media went wild after it was discovered that actress Sawajiri Erika would finalize her divorce from husband Takashiro Tsuyoshi. Considering the players involved and the messy nature of their divorce, the media excitedly named the designated day (May 16th) as eDay Xf. That day passed and nothing happened, leading several journalists to simply blame her conflicting schedules for her non-submission of papers.

Four months have passed since then andc theyfre still not divorced.

Donft get the wrong idea. Reportedly, they absolutely donft want to have anything to do with one another anymore, but that actually seems to be main problem here.

Takashiro recently attended a film festival in Tokyo, but unfortunately, he didnft speak about the problem at hand. Instead, he talked about how the Tokyo Bay should get a beach in order to have the same atmosphere as Barcelona, Spain – his workplace.

Since neither of them want to talk about their divorce, people have turned to information given by various industry insiders.

A reporter for a weekly tabloid explained, gTakashiro already signed and sealed the official divorce registration papers and sent them to Sawajiri, but he insisted on including a certain paragraph that would allow him to speak to the media about everything that happened between the two of them since the divorce rumors first emerged in tabloids. Sawajiri probably doesnft need any more dirty laundry while tackling her comeback as an actress, and therefore refused to hand in the papers. Unfortunately neither of them have the time – or desire – to talk with one another to settle this problem, so the entire divorce proceedings have been stalled since then.h

For Takashiro, it does seems to be true that hefs too busy to care about his soon-to-be-ex-wife, since he began research about new energy sources after the Tohoku earthquake, and is now working on a new book. The reporter continued, gFurthermore, he has plenty of work from overseas, making it impossible for him to find the time to talk with Sawajiri.h

The latest official news report about Sawajiri was from May, when reports surfaced about the business partnership between her personal agency in Spain and avex Entertainment. Currently, nothing has come out of this partnership yet.

An insider explained, gPlans were made to announce Sawajirifs new projects right after her divorce, but since they had to wait for her divorce to actually be finalized, there was nothing to announce. However, itfs said that she was casted as eMine Fujikoe in the upcoming live-action adaption of eLupin the Thirde.h

Sawajiri is going to attend a PR event for gsyossh on September 29th, but fans can expect the actress to remain mum about her sticky divorce situation. If these reports are true, then as long as theyfre both too busy and/or too stubborn to talk to each other, Sawajiri may have a difficult time moving forward with her career.

I guess Erika wants everybody to know she's still alive. She showed up at some hair thing: http://mantan-web.jp/2011/09/28/20110928dog00m200017000c.html

Without being as bad, she increasingly seems to be like the Lindsay Lohan of Japan. Which means, career wise, increasingly irrelevant.

She needs to land an acting role or something.

It's more like she needs a butt whooping. She had an acting role lined up in Space Battleship Yamato, then chickened out. If she could actually get an attitude adjustment and get her priorities straight, then she would be alright.

She needed an ass whooping ages ago...short of getting back to work as an entertainer, thereby putting aside distractions, I don't think her public image will improve.

Maybe they should put her on the Space Battleship Yamato on a one way trip for the edge of the galaxy. :beaten:

That would be one less piece of space junk that we don't have to worry about crashing into our living rooms. :hehe:

Does her name translate to Lindsay Lohan? :mrgreen:

Seriously. She's needs something uncontroversial like an acting gig to quell the chatter about her past shenanigans.

She wishes. I don't have to tell you because you are well aware that those roles are considered prestigious and NHK, as a state-financed entity, avoids controversy like the plague.

Obviously a lot of ppl still like her, and she has some acting chops, so she needs to just find an acting role, not a dinner roll.
