Oh...I see. Yeah, I remember reading somewhere that Erika accepted the job of a bikini model as a investment for her future career. ;)
But for me, it was still kinda odd because her character in 1 Litre seemed the kind that was innocent, pure...you know. Then suddenly seeing her in all the bikini shots seemed :confused:.

yea, i first saw that...and i was a bit surprised, but then again maybe not so much, since i learned that japanese girls do gravure modeling as part of their career to a step towards another direction.

Seeing Erika in Taiyou no uta, she seems a bit more grown up. :applaud:

:shocked:
Ayase Haruka is also a gravure idol?! love her acting in sekai no chuushin de..

Yep. She sure looks more mature in Taiyo no Uta. She really can fit into most of her roles perfectly in my opinion. :applaud:

what amazes me about Erika is that she is actually mixed, her mother is caucasian(white), and her father is supposively half asian, half(other race, maybe caucasian), so Erika is 1/4 Japanese.....but she certainly could pass for a full Japanese, atleast i thought so while watching 1 litre.....
but after closer inspection, she does looked mixed, but not 1/4 Japanese,......:headscratch:

Yep, I read that her dad was Japanese and Irish mixed. But two sites,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erika_Sawajiri and
http://wiki.theppn.org/Sawajiri_Erika gives different information on her mother. One says her mother is Algerian-French while the other states she is Algerian-Japanese. :headscratch:
But she certainly can pass of as a full Japanese...I couldn't tell she was mixed at all until I read about it... :rofl:

i didn't see it off the list last year....and this year, no sign of an Erika calendar.... :doh:

I fall for her after watching Taiyou no Uta. She's gorgeous! :nut:

Ayase Haruka is also a gravure idol?! love her acting in sekai no chuushin de..

Agree ! her acting in sekai no chuushin de is really very good , Yamada Takayuki also :dancing:

I prefer her in short hair in 1 litre more than long hair in taiyou :sweat:

i find that long hair shows her beauty and short hair show her cuteness ~ :woot:

Haha, its about the same for me. In my opinion, she looks more grown up with long hair. Short hair somehow or another makes her look younger to me...But both looks portray her beauty well. :mrgreen:
