Aragaki Yui

She really used to do so much more up until late 2009, at least as far as dramas and movies go, now she does too many CMs, her bio here doesn't have a lot of stuff she's been in, such as one of my faves from her, Rakka Onna, really one of the funniest shows from Japan, quite a few videos on YT of it, worth checking out. :victory:

Been exactly 2 months since I've come to this thread, sigh, probably have more post here than anyone but just have become a little bit disappointed with her. :shamefulcry: Seems like she's done nothing these last 8+ months except for making CMs and doing an occasional magazine spread, :grumble: don't know why but it's been too long since she's done anything of substance, she needs to get back to doing the things which made her so popular. :fingerscrossed:
And also needs to start hanging around Hiyama once again. :mrgreen:

But have started watching Hanamizuki today, about 1/2 thru it, so far I'm enjoying it, this has been her last acting performance and that was about a year ago they filmed it. :doh:
First screenshot was when she was speaking English.

Few more shots from Hanamizuki, it's somewhat of a slow film but the pacing is so good you don't really notice it, I'd recommend it to anyone who's thinking of watching it. :victory:

Best thing she's ever done, :crazy: seen it at least 15 times but it's been a while since I've seen it last, last 2 episodes are too fantastic to even describe. :sweat:

I just finished Shibuya 15. Very interesting series. Not quite my favorite role by Gakki, but it's up there. :applaud: :good:

Hey there, I'm new here ^^

Just finished hanamizuki and it was wooooooootttttt
yui looked completely matured =x
sh15uya was quite nice, but i kinda hated the ending though :(

anyways i found this place while lurking the internet for the special drama True Love, by any chance do you guys know where to find it? :(

I don't think the ending on Sh15uya is that bad. I can understand if you don't like bittersweet endings, but the ending in Summer Snow for example, is a lot worst than the ending in Sh15uya.

True Love was a TV movie from 2006, about 48 minutes long, I have it but it's not subbed. :shakehead:

Finally, she will have a new drama! :woot:

Found this info today on Tokyograph:

Aragaki Yui (22) will star in Fuji TVfs next Monday night drama series, tentatively titled gZenkai Girl.h The show is described as a romantic comedy with NEWS member Nishikido Ryo (26).

gZenkai Girlh is the first time that Aragaki is playing the main character in a television series, though she has previously had several roles as major secondary characters. In the series, she plays Wakaba, an ambitious international lawyer with dreams of rising to the top. After finding a job at a law office, her boss (Yakushimaru Hiroko) gives her an unexpected assignment: to take care of the bossfs 5-year-old daughter.

Wakaba is eager to do the task well in order to advance her career. While taking the girl to nursery school, she encounters a young man (Nishikido) who is raising a son after being divorced from his wife. As they both struggle in watching over the kids, love gradually blossoms between them.

Hirayama Hiroyuki (33) and Renbutsu Misako (20) will also appear in the show. Filming begins in early June, and the series will start in July in Fuji TVfs Monday 9:00pm time slot.

^ Awesome. I look forward to it. :woot:
