Had she improves in terms of role choice, I'd dare to say she will easily beat everyone of her age group in acting. It is her atrocious choices that makes her performance sometimes looked bad while actually she is skilled (though somewhat still raw), quite adventurous and extremely versatile. That bad shows don't do her justice, you've got to watch her better characters like in Cafe Isobe, Ninkyo Helper, Moteki, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (both version, since the 2006 version features her as voice actress), Tsurukame Josanin (I wonder why no one subbed this drama), Halfway and if you don't mind to see over-the-top shows - Zebraman 2. She is one of those rare actress who can fill almost any role out there when young.
I don't really understand why anybody would like her acting. To me she was a total fail while playing Misa in…
I think she's pretty good. Not yet in godlike zone, but still better than most of actress of her age group, let alone Maki and Masami Nagasawa. She showed that she can play depth pretty well and even when she was 17 (when she was an almost complete newbie back then), her performance in Engine is really good. Not mentioned that she is reasonably versatile for a 25 years old-er
The drama should be made into 5-6 episodes not 12, otherwise the scriptwriter would be running out of idea and ended up making it unbearably repetitive
Zero comment on this page? Come on, you gotta be kidding me. Perhaps she would be remembered forever for her perfect portrayal of Takasu Aiko in Karei Naru Ichizoku. The best villain in JDrama land EVER
Hm, there's no review for this drama! I should have written one after I watched it. I don't think I can do it…
Yes, you have to. Arata is simply damn good on this drama, he literally owns it and this is one of his best performances so far. I was supposed to give a 10, but the ending is kinda bit too sentimental, since the rest 5 episodes are in high tempo and quite thrilling
This is perhaps one of the most depressing movies ever made. Even more painful to watch compared to Der Untergang. Insanely good presentation and acting though.
This kid is amazing, she can play a wide array of characters and emotions for an actress of such a young age (see Kirishima, Aku no Kyoten, Amachan, and Suzuki Sensei). Her agency does a good job choosing those show for her. Definitely a talent to keep an eye on
For a former(?) gravure idol, I think she can really act. :) She held my attention for Piece and Yakou Kanransha.…
Nope, she is still doing gravure. I agree with you, this kid's acting was one of a few good thing in Piece (a show riddled with bad acting) and I think she is good enough to play in wonderkid shows like Aku no Kyoten or even Kirishima. If only she can pick better shows to be played in...
