Ueno Juri

I think she's prettier than what he makes her out to be, but I do concur with how she grew on him: she was just another pretty face amongst the many pretty faces in J-dramas, but her performance in Nodame made me sit up and notice. Subsequent viewings of Swing Girls, several other movies, and Kagayaku Onna convinced me that there's more depth and talent to her than most of her other peers.

But she is the girl next door... And she's terrific.

Thanks for explaining. I was thinking "surely B can't think she's "plain"!"
(And I don't think she is at all, either).

And in Orange Days... Though it was a small part.

I can't imagine the very sweet-looking Juri playing a "thoroughly disagreeable teenager" in Engine (according to the blog), but if she's that good an actress...

She is.

She's even more disagreeable in Tsubasa no Oreta Tenshitachi, Part 4... But very good. :thumbsup:

Chubby face. :hehe:

But it's not anywhere close to being as bad as the microphone pic... I think she must have worn a dental thingy to do some realignment... :)

Those pics are taken from my favorite parts of the NG vid. Juri's expressions in those closeups were quite funny, and cute too.

Sorry I fucking brought it up at all. :shakehead:

It was good you brought up that blog and gave the link. Interesting read ... and I agree with most of the comments he made. I was actually familiar with almost all the actresses he mentioned, but disagreed on the looks of a couple.

Erika Toda, Yui Aragaki (VŠ_ Œ‹ˆß), Erika Sawajiri (‘òKƒGƒŠƒJ) and Masami Nagasawa .... none of these girls do I really think are particularly pretty (not ugly of course though).

On the contrary, I do think Miho Kanno is quite attractive (watched her in Dolls) along with Yukie Nakama and Ryoko Yonekura . It's possible I just find women older than me more beautiful. :mrgreen:

Even though Juri is of a similar age as the first couple girls I mentioned, she stood out more to me (after watching Swing Girls, Josie, Onna, ..etc) from the others because of her personality and down-to-earthness. I just love those qualities about Juri!

Ok, that was my 2 cents on that blog.

B, I'm sure you wholeheartedly agreed with where that blogger's stated:

"....many of the best actresses are also among the prettiest, e.g. Yukie Nakama (’‡ŠÔ—R‹Iœ¨) or Ryoko Yonekura (•Ä‘q—ÁŽq)."

:beaten:

Yeah, it's my favorite group of outtakes as well... :victory:

Uh, I always see "NG" associated with outtakes... NG?? :headscratch:
