it was only that i first noticed her from this year's j-drama, Yako no Kaidan.
She plays, "Sachiko", and this is a love story, twisted but she is absolutely stunning, and beautiful. She is a great actress and I researched her on the internet only to discover a deep resume of films and j-dramas. I also noticed she had a singing career as well.

I voted for her in my current list of actresses, which my list needs to be updated. So again, excellent discovery on a talented and beautiful young lady. She also is on the front page of Jdorama, only i just discovered who she is now.

She was also in the recent Miike Takashi film Sukiyaki Western Django and the upcoming film Killer Virgin Road with Ueno Juri.

i was researching some of her photos and info on the internet, cause i had to know more about her. She was in some international film too a year or so back, and was in the grammy's or some awards show in the US, for the film she co-starred in. I think it was "Blindness" or something.

I would like to see more of her in other dramas and film, and see this amazing beauty's talents.

thanks for the info on her.

^^ Didn't realize she was married, another one to knock off my list.
Thanks for updating it though, I was about to do that, last week I've watched 3 of her movies....Moho Han, Isola and Wakeful Nights, the last one is one of my faves from the last 5 years!

In Zenzen Daijobu (2008), a comedy that emphasizes character study over plot, Kimura plays possibly the klutziest character you'll see in a film who also seems to be addicted to chikuwa.

At ADC?

I can seed it if you're downloading it from there...

I generally liked Killer Virgin Road although it's very random and has a strange pace.
Btw, thread: http://www.jdorama.com/viewtopic.12580.htm

I thought everything was helter skelter and not really that funny.

Thanks for the offer, normally do get my films there but getting it somewhere else, my computer is so overloaded right now the file I'm getting is only 1/4 of the size, this is the only film I've ever waited on but have such a backlog can afford to be patient.
