I have something I will like to share.Nothing personal but it might indirectly affect every female J-celebrity,and anything bad happening to Erika makes us cry as well.

I found something rather shocking about the fans of female J-celebrities.In this case I'll use Ryoko Hirosue.A decade ago when she just finished filming the infamous J-drama "Beach Boys" she was virtually on the top of the popularity list.Commericals...magazines...she was in most of it.Everything seems bright for her when 7 years later...she announced that she is going to get married(kekkon).Then somehow she fell down the packing order...and almost into obilivion.

Matsushima Nanako also suffered the same fate but she received lesser torment thanks to her fact that her spourse is none other than Sorimachi Takashi.And now that she have a child...she's not even starring in any films anymore.

So that leads me to a conclusion.When you get married you lose popularity drastically.If your husband isn't a world-recongisable person then you lose even more popularity.One child(kodomo) can virtually destroy your entire career.Then at that time only the truly loyal fans of yours will be left.

I certainly hope this does not happen to Erika...

Oh and let me know if you come across Yuya Yagira, I gotta shoot that guy with my sniper rifle, and it won't be a tranquilized dart.. but a real live bullet.. nailing him on the head. There's a lil teaser about the onscreen kiss near the end of the trailer. Seeing this trailer again makes me want to kill that Yagira kid even more.

Relax!!!Relax!!!It's only a movie!M-O-V-I-E.Everything there is under the watchful eyes of the directors.Yugi Yagira trying to get a real kiss from Erika?I think she'll really give him a tight slap across the face!!!

I guess that's true but that's not alyways the case, for example, Nanako Matsushima.. It's understandable that she's going to give up (at least, for the moment) show business because of her baby. Every path you take, sacrifices another. You just can't do both (If you can, it will be very hard). Raising a baby while remaining active in show business is very stressful, I guess. You have to devote yourself to one "task", at a time.

I definitely know its just a movie but I just can't accept a 15 year old not-that-good-looking kid gets to kiss her, and what's worse is the movie is famous and being hyped to death for their ON-SCREEN KISS. How cruel is that?!?!??!?!

That's rather...cute.It kind of show that the movie is somehow "run" by Erika alone because one fake on-screen kissing scene can actually be the best part of the show.Then that means no one bothers about the acting skills of this Yugi guy!!!

Speaking of which...Taiwan had officially used Erika's new kanji name.Her old one is no longer mentioned anymore.So it seems that the change of name is not just for showbiz...she's actually for real.Better learn how to write them first...

Don't worry guys, I'll take good care of her, I promise!

anyways...
When it comes to that, its really up to her. If she feels she can sacrifice her career for her family then more power to her, whatever makes her happy

You know what's ironic, Yuya Yagira sky rocketed to fame because he won "Best Actor" in Cannes Film Festival.

And what was her taiwanese official name again? It sounded like a ganglord, If I remember correctly.

Cannes?Why will he be the France at the first place?

Erika's name is 泽�K�p龙华 and that's how the taiwanese call her.She will write her name as 泽�K�p����.The �� word is normally associated with traid members.Ans there's no change in prounciation.She's called Sawajiri Eirika.Just simple drag the 'e' a bit longer and that's it.

I know how to pronouce her name (�p����) but have no clue how her last name is pronouced (泽�K)

泽 is read as "ze' whereas �K is read as "kao".So her name is "Ze-Kao-Ying-Long-Hua".But those two words are simplified Chinese.In Japan they don't use them.Got to study Chinese all over again...

The film "Nobody Knows" was screened at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, I suppose. He was 14 years old when he won the "Best Actor" award.

I assume that is the mandarin pronouciation, right?

This name change is very confusing. I'll just refer to her as Erika Sawajiri, plain and simple.
