Mirei Kiritani: Happy 26th birthday!!!! part one- recent happenings
Mirei posted that pic on her Instagram account yesterday, not sure who the other woman is but she does look quite familiar. Mirei has kind of flown under the radar compared to other in her age range, never really here mentioned along with Erika, Gakky, Saki and a few others, all were born between 1988 and 1990 but she never seems to be grouped with them.
Have two posts today, lately have only been doing one for a birthday fave but am trying to get her to that magic 100th post, after these two she'll be at 94 and shouldn't be too long before triple digits are hit. First off are a few more recent pics she's posted on her Instagram account.
Just one new mag spread for Mirei, the last few years she's cut down on her appearances in them quite a bit but that could be because she's mainly concentrating on her acting career. It's a shame as this is a scintillating set of pics from the January issue of 25ans, was also just checking Non-no's YT site but unfortunately there's been no promo videos the last few months for her.
Mirei's last drama "Atelier" aka Underwear just wrapped up it's run last Tuesday, it ran for just four episodes. But actually it ran for 12 episodes that were a half hour long on Netflix Japan, the four episodes ran on Fuji-TV. What they did was combine three episodes together so they ran for 90 minutes which was it was just those four episodes.
Have watched the first three episodes or should I say have skimmed through them, holding out hope that the series will be subbed so haven't posted too many screenshots from them. What I'll do is wait a few more weeks and if it's not subbed will do two more posts for the series, it's not that complicated to follow though subs would really help me. Have a few fabulous screenshots from the second and third episodes here, won't give details about the drama until those upcoming posts but it revolves around the fashion industry and her character's name is Mayuko.

Mirei Kiritani: Few recent tidbits....
Just a few new things happening with Mirei but it's been a while since her last post and wanted to make sure there was at least one for her thins month. Main reason for the post is her new drama which there's some info about at the bottom. Mirei just opened an Instagram account last week too, here are the pics she's uploaded already plus here's the address: https://www.instagram.com/mirei_kiritani_/
In January Mirei will have the lead role in a drama called "Sumi ka Sumire". it's based upon a manga by Takanashi Mitsuba which is still running. In it she'll be playing the part of a 65 year old woman who is granted one wish, her wish is to go back to being a 20 something year old woman. News on that just came out a few days ago so will keep you updated on any new developments about the series, that'll be one I'll be watching.
Mirei is also starring in a Fuji-TV/NetFlix drama called "Atelier", it's also been called Underwear but that's kind of a lame title to me. In it she plays a fashion designer named Mayuko who has landed her first big job working at the Emotion lingerie company in Ginza. Surprisingly the drama is easy to get, have got the first two episodes already with the first show getting a rating of 6.5%, series started on November 13th. Not even going to try to give a review as I skimmed though it but it's not subbed so a recap wouldn't do the drama enough justice.
No clue if it will be subbed but let's keep our fingers crossed as it did seemed to be an okay first episode, very long one too at 104 minutes. If it does get subbed will be back with more screenshots from this first episode along with a review of it, even if it doesn't get subbed will be posting screenshots from every episode and can probably give a bit of a breakdown of what happens. The show is based upon the lingerie industry and there were quite a few models dressed like that in this first episode, sadly Mirei wasn't one dressed like that but wow does she look terrific.
