Yuko Araki: Happy 26th birthday!!!!
Noticed Yuko isn't too popular here or at least her posts don't get as many views as I thought they would. I like her though can't call her a huge fave and she'll probably never make a top twenty faves list but then again that's the case for most gals I post about. Didn't finish her "Motokare Mania" drama which she had the lead role in, Yuko did fine in the show and so didn't most of the cast but it after starting out well it became a bit bland and predictable. "Million Yen Women" was a fine show though which is worth checking out and if I recall correctly her character Nanaka ended up being murdered on the show.
Yuko is mainly known for her modeling work and especially with Non-no but she's slowed down on that the past few years as she's concentrating more on her acting career. Where I am is the 14th so birthday #26 won't be for a few hours though where Yuko is it's the 15th, not that 26 is old but seems she's zipped through the years rather rapidly. Have a little of a lot for today and perhaps she can gain a few more fans, she's always seemed like such a likable person to me. Mentioned Non-no so why not start off with some of their pics, bottom seven are brand new from their site.
There's a 4 1/2 year age difference but seems Yuko has become such close friends with Risa, if you're a close buddy of hers then you're okay in my book.
Don't know if Yuko will be returning the gesture but on December 9th Risa made an appearance on the 'Gift' show where she traveled to a UGG store to pick out a present for her. You can see what that is in the bottom screenshot and wish the segment was longer than two minutes.
Here's some fine pics here which are from a November 26th event that was held at the Ginza Six store and their rooftop. As you can see it was a tree lighting ceremony and have only seen one other fave of mine attend one of these ceremonies so far this year. That dress and jewelry she was wearing was worth 150 million yen.
On December 13th Yuko released her second photobook which is titled "Honey". Not sure if it was a good time to release it as a very popular co-star from her "Motokare Mania' drama also released a PB on the same day and sure that is going to be a very massive seller. Here are two of the covers along with some promo pics and the she traveled to Italy for the photo shoot.
Today there was a fan meeting session for the PB at the HMV bookstore in Shibuya.
For the amount of modeling work she does she doesn't appear in as many mags as you would think. This set from the November 19th SPA! is just two pages even though she was their cover girl.
Slightly bigger Yuko spread that features outtake pics from the photobook and this set is from the January 1st edition of Big Comic Spirits. No spread for Vogue but there is a new video for them that came out four days ago as she's their 'Vogue Girl' of the month, check it out after the pics.
