Sei Shiraishi: A lot of this and that....



 Didn't put it in the heading but this is actually Sei's first post ever here, want to slow down on using 'Her intro post #?' in the titles. Have known about Sei for about a year now and what got me interested in her was the way she looks or more accurately who she resembles. To me it's Miori Takimoto and don't think I've seen two actresses who look so alike. The only difference is their age but their looks are so similar it's uncanny but nothing wrong with looking like MT.
 Though I've known about her for a while held off on the first post as she was just nineteen and do have an age rule these days where you need to be twenty. Well Sei turned that age over four months ago so am a bit behind in doing this post which is okay as that means her next few won't be too long from now. She definitely has an odd name as it's one I've seldom seen and it got me thinking as to what the most common names are for the faves I post about. Don't have the numbers to back it up but to me the most common names here are 'Erika, Yui, Yuki, Yu(u)ka, Minami, Saki, Rika and Mai' though bet more names begin with Nana but have an ending such as 'se, mi, ko, etc.' to it.


 The past few years have been trying to post about actresses before they become very popular, have had quite a few successes though also a few misses. Have a feeling Sei is going to become quite popular and when she becomes a star you can see you first saw her here. She has the lead female role in her next drama which is titled "I's" and more info on that later on in the post.
 Sei's last drama was "Prince of Legend" which just finished it's run. The cast was 95% male as she was the only female in the show, not sure if I want to view a series where 16 of the 17 roles are of males. Pics here are from an October 23rd interview with the Hustle Press site, it was for the drama but also for her film "Shiori" which came out on October 26th.









 'Prince of Legend" is also going to have a cinema movie which will be coming out on March 21st, once again she'll be the only female in the cast. Pics here are from the "Shiori" movie's October 26th premiere, next post will have pics from two more events for the film.







 Mentioned that I had been waiting for Sei to turn twenty which happened on August 10th, really hoping she's someone who I'll be able to post about often in the future. On to a pair of mag spreads and she has for the May 28th issue of Big Comic Spirits.












 There are a few more spreads for this year but not a huge amount of them so will save the others for future posts. Second Sei set is from edition #43 of WPB.






 Sei has been doing many interviews for the upcoming "I's" drama which airs in six days. Have four pics here from the Hominis site while the others are from Walker Plus. Actually forgot to put the WP pics above as they're from an October interview for the "Shiori" film.












 Most dramas or TV movies have only one event to promote it but the "I's" show has already had two of them. First batch of pics are from November 30th while the second set of pics are from a December 11th event and Sei really looks super duper in those pics. There's a video of the event but instead of having that have a new CM of Sei's for Line Music.
