| The Unsinkable Emi Takei |
This was a crush that was totally inevitable- you can't have that much concentrated cuteness each episode without falling head over heels in love, and that's exactly what happened watching the insanely adorable Emi Takei each week in Tokyo Zenryoku Shojo!
I've already blathered on and on about how cute Emi Takei was in an earlier post, and don't have much more to add to it other than I can't believe how many scenes each episode I find myself rewinding and REWINDING over and over again to experience her amazing adorkability!
First thing I ever saw Emi in was Otomen and even then I remember noticing how sweet and spunky she was, and then I saw how smooth and cool she could be when I saw her in GOLD. Who would have thunk that the sweet young thang in those shows would turn into one of my new favorite actresses? But after seeing her in W No Higeki, the Rurouni Kenshin movie and of course Tokyo Zenryoku Shojo, that's exactly what she's become!

It's interesting to note that Emi was one episode too late to appear on Arashi's wonderful "VIP Room" on Himitsu No Arashi-Chan, and instead ended up being the first guest in its sadly sub-par replacement VIP Limousine. But since she's such a cutie, I'm prepared to overlook this...and besides, compared to later VIP Limo episodes, Emi's one is pretty fun and interesting!

Yep, seems like I've enjoyed just about everything she's done, just about the only drama I didn't care for was "Asuko March" (with it's "Problem Student" format which I loathe) and I'm even contemplating trying to re-watch that one again since I love her so much!
