Ueno Juri

shanghai_honey wrote:bmwracer - are you one of the mods here? I'm asking because maybe you can change Juri's profile picture (the one in the cast list on the drama pages). It's a really outdated photo, looks like taken from her debut in Orange Days, with a very young Juri in boring hair-style. She's blossomed so much since then and there are many better photos of hers that we can choose from to better reflect the "essence" of Juri. Imo, any of the recent photos you posted in this thread in the last 20 pages is much better (ok, so not her RUKA hair-do, as the fanboys will protest, tee-hee!) :mrgreen:

Yup, I'm one of the mods, but I don't have access to the site images... :sweat:

I'll ping on one of the other mods who do have that access and have them change it with a more recent pic. :)

I agree! Everything suits her! :D

Wow, seems like this role as Ruka is creating more Juri-chan fans than her Nodame role... :sweat: :headscratch:

Juri-chan enthusiasm. :D

They should give all access to the site to you, considering the amount of posts that you have made and the time you spend on the forum :hehe: . I am being complimentary here.. Plus you are our 'sempai' when it comes to Juri-chan's fan following.. :mrgreen:

i agree with you, that movie is another briliant performance,when you see juri in the real life she just a ordinary & cheerful girl ,but when came to acting she totally full of it!!!
tomoko tane - rainbow song in ending title is perfect with the show of juri character in college days

Yeah.. The movie is good, but the performances of the artists in the movie make it much better(esp. Juri chan).

Nah, it's not necessary... Besides, everyone will be hassling me to change various pics for whatever reason... :sweat:

Yup, Rainbow Song was pretty good, though not much plot. But, it was quite sad .... Did you cry at the end? :puppydog:

The "jagged" hair works on her. Makes her look even more "girl-next-door" and approachable.

I loooooved her look in Nodame, but Ruka is such a 'cool' girl character that everyone finds appealing. Not many women can pull off hair that short, but she does it while still retaining a sense of grace and her own style that makes her absolutely gorgeous. /fashion blabbing

Uh, TLDR; Nodame is cute, but Ruka is hot. :)

P.S.
I knew her right tooth looked suspiciously fangy! I think her case wasn't as bad as I've seen on others. She still sorta has it, and I think it's adorable.

Bzzt. Ruka's not hot. She's bold and dashing, maybe. Bitchy and angsty, definitely. But hot? No.

And Nodame is not just cute. She's absolutely adorable.

i used to have hair like that... until my boss(es) asked me to grow it out and it became somewhat mushroomy... :shamefulcry:

Yow, Juri-chan must've had a revelation-type effect on you for you to change your long-standing avatar... :victory: :applaud: :woot:

No.. The movie was quite sad though.

Hot?

Nah... Cute like Nodame, but Nodame's completely and irrevocably adorable... :smitten:

It was worse when she was younger... I think orthodontia has made it a whole lot better... :victory:
