Been promising for many months to have a post or two for Yuko but for some reason kept forgetting about it. Bet most don't mind as I don't think her previous posts were all that popular. That's the case for most actresses though, some are extremely popular but thin gals like Yuko don't seem to be the faves of many here. But watched the first episode of her new drama which I did enjoy so figured it's time to begin posting about her again and think there will be a few more coming up.
Yuko is definitely known more for her modeling work and very few models have been as busy as she has the past five years. But have noticed she's slowing down a bit with modeling as she's been concentrating more on her acting career. Seems she's made the right choice as she's been in so many dramas the past few years and finally has her first leading role. One reason we may be seeing more of Yuko the next two months is that on December 15th she's releasing her second photobook, that date is when she hits the elderly age of 26. Title of the PB will be "Honey" and a few promo pics for it.
When you're a close mate of a mega Nao fave guess you do deserve a few posts!!!!
Yuko hasn't stopped modeling completely as she's still an exclusive model for a few mags and companies, these are new pics from the Vogue Girl site.
Plus Yuko seems to make an appearance at 100% of the fashion shows whether they're small or large. Top set is from the September 28th 'Girls Award' show while the bottom five are from the October 5th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show, don't think there's any more until January.
Yuko is mainly known for her work with Non-no, she always represents them at those fashion shows. Have a few recent pics from their site and the bottom two are of her being the cover girl for their December issue, will have that spread in her next post.
Title of Yuko's new drama is 'Motokare Mania" which began last Friday on Fuji-TV. Usually I avoid these rom-com dramas but decided to take a chance with this show and watched the first episode. Did find it very enjoyable so plan on watching the whole series, will be starting on the recaps once the second show is subbed and her name in the drama is Yurika Nanba.
It's the first time Yuko has had the lead role in a drama and her hard work has paid off. She's not a great actress but seems she's been getting better with every role, this is the fourth series I've seen her in. For the show she did an interview with 'TheTV.jp' site, she was dressed in various outfits for the pics as in the show Yurika often 'talks' to her different personalities.
On October 15th there was an event for the drama with most of the other main cast.
Final tidbit for today is this spread from the August 23rd issue of Friday. There's so many Yuko videos on YT it's almost impossible to choose just one, picked her newest CM which is for Nivea that also has a behind the scenes segment and it's after the pics.
