Well, it’s time to introduce all of you to my favorite actress of all time.

UENO Juri-chan!!


Haha! Not a very promising picture, ne? But still cute! :3

That’s Juri-chan in her role Nodame in “Nodame Cantabile”. This gal is really a versatile actress. Mostly, her roles are challenging ones like Nodame and her Ruka of Last Friends. Those two character's personality contrast each other greatly.

If you want to watch something Juri-chan did, I recommend Nodame Cantabile first then Last Friends. You'll be hooked after that! ^__^

Even though I don’t personally know Juri-chan, I can feel that she’s a kind, nice, sincere and down-to-earth person. For me, she’s also the type who is serious and loves her work. By watching her off (behind-the-scenes and stuff when not filming) camera, I can see this traits. She’s also a tomboyish gal. She’s a little shy but at times very playful(she's like that from the games and variety shows she’s in that I watched). She’s also talented in the saxophone because she had to learn it for her movie “Swing Girls”, and a little piano. At first, she didn’t really strike me as beautiful. Just cute. But as time passes by, you will really appreciate her simple beauty and think she’s much better than all those celebrities with a pretty face with not much talent. Hmm.. I'm not very good at explaining things so I'll just say, in short, Juri-chan is really amazing! That's all. *bows*

Juri-chan really has all my respect. She’s the first celebrity I got obsessed with. Haha! I mean, literally, the first ever! Not Korean, not Japanese, not Chinese, not even Filipino! You get my point. Hehe.

Juri-chan, you got me!
