Juri-chan talked about her role in her taiga drama

Today was the press conference for NHKfs 2011 taiga dorama "Gō ~Hime-tachi no Sengoku~" starring actress Ueno Juri. She plays the role of Gō, the third daughter of Oichi-no-kata and wife of the second and third Tokugawa shoguns, Tokugawa Hidetada and Iemitsu.

"I recently started watching Ryoma den and I still donft seem to realize that Ifm going to star in the next taiga dorama. However, Ifm looking forward to play as Gō." She mentioned during the interview. Fukuyama Masaharu, the current starring taiga actor and her senpai at her agency sent her some encouraging words. "Letfs do our best together," he said. Ueno surprised everyone with her reaction upon his message, "Wefve never met, wefve never even passed by each other, but now he finally called me Ueno-san!" She always wanted to hear him say that, it seems.

Further Ueno talked about her thoughts when she received the offer for the role. "Itfs a first for me to portray the whole life of a person. I played roles from their teens to their twenties and considered that to be a long time span already, but thatfs nothing compared to portraying a whole life within 1 whole year. It will definitely be worth it." Especially great will be the difference between her peculiar role in Nodame Cantabile and that of an important historical figure. "This time Ifd like to truly act as a Japanese woman."


Tabuchi Kumiko who wrote the script for the successful 50th taiga dorama "Atsu-hime" starring Miyazaki Aoi will also provide the script for "Gō." As mentioned above, Gō was the third daughter of Oichi who was married to the daimyo Azai Nagamasa. Oichi became famous as the mother of three daughters who married well and become important women in the history of Japan. The eldest and most famous daughter, Yodo-dono became the concubine of Hideoyshi who later killed both of her birth parents and her stepfather. Ohatsu, the second daughter, married Kyogoku Takatsugu. Together they are known as "the 3 Azai sisters."
