Hi Minna,
It isn't very often that a gal japanese dorama fan can admire a female actress and idolize her *hehe* (or maybe it's just me). I'm a fan of Fukakyon and most recently, Shibasaki Kou aka RUI!! Noticed that there isn't any thread started for her under Japanese artistes yet and I feel she deserves it. RUI-lovers!! Feel free to chat about her here, post her pics, latest updates etc. I'd really appreciate it. ;)

Basically my first "encounter" with Shibasaki Kou in dorama is in [Yume no California]. I'm a big fan of Doumoto Tsuyoshi and her character really captivated me. Then I realised she starred earlier in [Battle Royale] too.. and I saw her in [Good Luck] and currently I'm watching another two of her doramas [Dr. Koto- Shinryoujyou] and [Love Quotient]. Also saw her in the MTV of [Tsuki no Shizuku], theme song of [Yomigaeri] and was utterly impressed by her voice and look. Personally feel that there's this quality about her that's very typical of a certain character in Japanese plots. I can't really put it in words but something like the girl with the dark past, the cold and distant character that's actually really one with a warm personality etc. And there's some aura about her that really makes me exclaim from the bottom of my heart: COOL!!! :love_eyes: Yea, she's that cool. For some reason or another, she also reminds me of Bao3 Sheng1 Wu3 or Hosho Mai.
Most recently, she has been a big name in Japan and hitting it big in commercials, fashion magazine spreads like Nonno and cosmetics like Fasio and Kose etc.
