And then there's this:

Because the original manga includes mature topics such as sex and drugs, there is some speculation that Sawajiri may have a nude scene in the film. A source familiar with the matter neither confirmed nor denied the possibility.

Erika use sex to get a job!! I'm shocked!!

Is there a word for 'casting couch' in Japanese ?

Sawajiri Erika to return to television with drama special “Akujo ni Tsuite”

March 8, 2012


Sawajiri Erika will star in a drama special on TBS titled “Akujo ni Tsuite,” it has been announced. This will be Sawajiri’s first time acting in a television drama (not counting mobile TV) since a special episode of “1 Litre no Namida” in 2007.

“Akujo ni Tsuite” is an adaptation of a 1978 novel by the late writer Ariyoshi Sawako. The novel was a masterpiece of its time, and it was also notable for having a television drama airing as it was being serialized in a magazine.

Sawajiri plays Kimiko, the main character of the story who has died. Although the title implies that it is a story of a “wicked woman,” the original novel was divided into 27 chapters, one for each “testimony” by someone who knew Kimiko at some point in her life, providing a range of perspectives on what kind of person Kimiko was.

Sawajiri’s supporting cast has not yet been revealed, but expectations are high given the novel’s reputation and history.

“Akujo ni Tsuite” is scheduled to air on April 30.

Finally she's back, and perhap's she's learnt how to adjust her attitude. Can't wait to see this drama!

Somehow, I cannot stop shaking my head whenever I see her name mentioned.
Just hope that she can turn things around for real this time.
