A Wild Eda Yuka Appeared!

Eda Yuka with Omura Ayako

  Finishing up the last few episodes of Hanasaki Mai Ga Damattenai (and just in time too, as it’s been announced a second season is happening) and as I watched a scene with Mai Hanasaki (Anne) chatting with her bankteller workmates, I suddenly sat up straight and said to myself, “That girl in pink looks JUST like Yasuko Matsuyuki’s little sister in TAKE FIVE!” 

Yuka, Omura Ayako, and Anne

As the show progressed I was convinced that my assessment was correct, and sure enough, when the end credits ran, the name “Eda Yuka” appeared! It’s SO nice to see her…and looking as FABULOUS as ever!

You all may remember when I gushed about Yuka way back when watching Take Five, she was so pretty in it (and really, quite believable as the little sister of Yasuko Matsuyuki, beauty spot and all, LOL), but then…NOTHING! After that, I didn't see her in any other dramas... and over at the dramawiki site, her name is still written in the dreaded “red” color, meaning that while the actor/actress may be listed in that particular drama, clicking on the name will lead to a sparse or empty stub.. Hopefully she’ll have a decent filmography under her belt soon!
