Sei Shiraishi: An early 'Happy 21st Birthday'....




 This time when I say will be taking a day do mean it as I won't be around tomorrow and will see you Friday night, plenty of recent posts though for all to peruse. As usual was going to add in that this being a 'quickie post' it may be smaller than usual ones, but at over fifty pics it's certainly not a small one. However it could be considered a semi historical one or at least for here as there's something new which I finally discovered.
 Have that 'birthday list' on the right hand side which I need to update. Many share the same date but up until now only one pair had also been born the same year and that date was April 3, 1992. My discovery was that there's now a second pair who share the same day and year, obviously one is Sei or wouldn't have brought the subject up. Sei was born on August 10, 1998 which means in three days she'll be turning a year older. Also born on that exact date is someone the majority should know so well who is Asuka from Nogi. Will try to do a post for her this weekend and as expected couldn't find any pics of the duo together.





 For the most part Sei has been strictly an actress up until now, have never found any of her pics at any fashion sites so she's currently not a model for any mag or company. I think this younger generation of actresses is quite good, say the ones from age 20 to 23. Save for a few have never thought the actresses from 24 to 26 were all that good, some are popular but their acting ability leaves something to be desired.
 Sei to me is a fine actress and her roles have really been increasing the past two years. Most of her new roles are much bigger except for her previous drama "Justice Monster". Sei's role was big for the first two shows but then her character aged fifteen years so we only saw her in an occasional flashback scene but those first two episodes set the tone for the series.





 Sei's new drama is titled "Dakara Watashi was Oshimashita" which began on July 27th, have viewed the first show and what a riot it was. On July 11th there was a press conference for the show and all Keya fans should know who the man is as he's a co-host of their 'Keyakitte' show. I like the main star of the show who is Yuki, she's in these pics and though I've though so often about doing some posts for her it's never happened.





















 Sei plays the character of Hana in the show who is an inept member of an up and coming J-Pop group. Only the first episode has been subbed but do recommend watching it as the first show was just so much fun, not for Hana who was berated badly by one person and ended up in tears...








 Ruka Matsuda is also in the show as an Idol, she's become a big fave and also will try to have another post for her soon. The group's name in the show is 'Sunny Side Up', hence the members wearing yellow. They did perform a mini show which was will be seen in upcoming episodes, there's also a video of them on the show's Twitter page and hope to find it on YT.








 Not sure if this set has been posted before as it's been a while since her last post, even if was posted it's a fine set of pics which are from the June 13th issue of Young Jump.








 Positive this final spread has never been posted as it's fairly new and Sei was the cover girl for the July 16th issue of Flash. Did find that 'Sunny Side Up' video on YT and it's an enjoyable tune which you can view after the pics.
