How many Japanese do you see with anything other than very dark or black (natural) hair? Not many, I bet :) I haven't seen any natural Japanese blondes....
Alot of asians of course dye their hair brown. But, I personally prefer the natural coiffure - asian black. Black hair is a better look for Juri's anyways. :applaud:

Juri-chan has a small role, in which her boyfriend's sister (the female lead) keeps thinking that she looks like a tree :sweat:
we get to see her in a wedding dress again, though :woot:

Well here's an unpleasent side of Ueno Juri... :headscratch:
It's said that the members of the Sawajiri Faction are largely from Nisshutsu Academy where she dropped out from. The members include Ueno Juri, Horikita Maki, Kashii Yu, Nakagawa Shoko, and possibly Wakatsuki Chinatsu and Akimoto Miri."
Rumor has it the goal of this Sawajiri Faction is to crush their rival peers, namely actresses with the 'innocent' persona. Rumor has it that they leak scandals of such stars as Ueto Aya and Nakama Yukie in order to eliminate them for the market...at least temporarily.
So what would you do if Sawajiri & Cronies start leaking your naked pics on the internet and says stuff like (Sawajiri reportedly said this in her dressing room about Nagasawa) "I can do both (kinds of roles). She (Nagasawa) has the whole 'good girl' image and that's the only role she can do. Don't compare me to that bitch!" (- Weekly Shinchou)? Fight back by starting your own gang. At least that's what Nagasawa did mid-December last year.
It's said that the Nagasawa Faction contains Ishihara Satomi, Ayase Haruka, Miyazaki Aoi, Toda Erika and Motokariya Yuika. Toda Erika apparently joined the Nagasawa-kai because she was harrassed by Sawajiri-kai, but Sawajiri-kai has its own problems with news that apparently Nakagawa Shoko has been having no say in anything they do. Will she defect to the other side?
If you compare the two groups they really aren't that different. Ishihara and Ueno are the resident pretty girls, Ayase and Horikita are the weird looking girls that Akiko Wada thinks are fat, Kashii Yu and Toda Erika are the resident 'do you know who I am? No?' girls. Who the hell is Akimoto Miri? At least I know everyone in the Nagasawa-kai. How much do you want to bet Horikita was a pity member amirite?
While it is not beyond the realm of possibility that Juri-sama could do evil, I serious doubt if she'll team up with the likes of Sawajiri Erika for this purpose.
We have seen that Juri-sama can be assertive, not afraid to voice her opinion to superiors (movie/drama directors). On the other hand I personally think Sawajiri is borderline megalomania - she changed her name in kanji because the previous version was not 'strong' enough. Image Sawajiri trying to give Juri-same orders...
I've been told by a Japanese friend to take this kind of 'news' (for lack of a better word) with a whole sack-load of salt.
