Between these two, who do you think uses the most facial and hair products?

One guess it's all that's needed, the hint is it's not a female.

Nakama Yukie to play a loveless career woman in new drama, �gRenai NEET�h

Today it was announced that actress Nakama Yukie is going star as a career woman in the upcoming TBS drama �gRenai NEET ~Wasureta Koi no Hajime Kata~�g.

�gRenai NEET�h is a romantic comedy about six individuals between twenty and forty, who all are fortunate to be in a good social position yet fail to advance in the professional called love. The acronym NEET actually stands for �enot in education, employment, or training�f, but in this case it basically describes a person who �eis not in love, a relationship, or trying to find love�f.

Nakama plays a woman called �eRin�e, who happens to be around the same age as herself. Rin is single and hasn�ft had a boyfriend for the past eight years. She rather immersed herself into work in order to raise her two much younger siblings after the death of their parents. However, instead of trying to find her love, she drives away the opposite sex by blurting out that she hasn�ft had any sexual relationship for quite a while.

She commented, �gI�fm playing a full-fledged OL (office lady) this time. It will be a story about people in their thirties and their love relationships. I can�ft wait for the filming to begin. I hope the viewers will enjoy watching it every week while checking if you are also the love NEET or not.�h

The producer behind �gRenai NEET�h is the same person who caused a social phenomenon with the drama �gAround 40�g. The term �eara-four�f (around 40) became the buzzword of the year in Japan in 2008 and with the term �erenai NEET�f, they will try to create yet another popular buzzword.

Fuji TV is currently airing a similar drama with �gWatashi ga Renai Dekinai Ryuu�h on Mondays, but the producer of �gRenai NEET�h emphasized that �gthis drama will be romantic comedy about real adults�g.

TBS will premier �gRenai NEET�h in January and air it every Friday at 10:00 pm.

Nakama Yukie attends press conference for upcoming 3D movie, �gTempest�h

On November 28th, actress Nakama Yukie attended a press conference for the upcoming 3D film, �gTempest�g.

Set in the late Edo period, the film portrays the story of a woman named Mazuru, who disguises herself as Son Neion to protect the Ryukyu Kingdom. It started off as a stage play back in February, and was later adapted into a drama series in July.

As her third time starring in this production, Nakama expressed, �gI�fve been playing the same role for over a year, so when we started filming, I felt that I could save the Ryukyu.�h She continued, �gTo be able to feel that my hometown of Okinawa was the Ryukyu Kingdom is an inheritance of a lifetime.�h

The biggest highlight of the film is the three-dimensional hologram. A virtual image of Nakama�fs character Son Neion appeared beside Nakama, who appeared at the event as Manzuru. Seeing this, co-stars Tanihara Shosuke and Takaoka Saki were moved to excitement.

Sorry it's been ages since I last posted here, and it's also sad to see the lack of updates. I have been busy these days, and it's becoming harder to keep track of Yukie Nakama content online.

However, I have good news. A friend of mine went to Japan recently and I asked him to buy Yukie's 2010 photobook.



I will share it with you guys soon.

FINALLY!

I now have the 2010 photobook, and it's nothing short of excellent.
2000 yen well spent.

All I need now is plenty of time to scan it.

Aah, Nakama Yukie! One of the most versatile actresses in Japan. But my most favourite Yukie roles are those from her comedy series. Gokusen is a given. But my favourite is TRICK -- her deadpan delivery more hilarious than the generall over-the-top acting in GOKUSEN. Besides, she works really well with Abe-san

Yukie Nakama to play Mitsuko Mori in FujiTV Special

Nakama Yukie will play the late Mori Mitsuko in FujiTV's 55th anniversary drama SP "Mori Mitsuko wo Ikita Onna ~ Nipponichi Aisareta Okaasan wa Nipponichi Sabishii Onna datta ~" (The woman who lived as Mori Mitsuko ~ the most loved mother in Japan was the loneliest woman in Japan) which is due to be shown this spring.

Co-stars include Fujiki Naohito who will play Mori's ex-husband Okamoto Yoshihiko and Ishizaka Koji who will play the producer Kikuta Kazuo that saw the talent Mori had as an actress.
