Wrapped up the Nana Seino drama Shiro demo Kuro demonai Sekai de, Panda wa Warau the other day and while it was an okay (if messy and convoluted), one big plus about it was seeing pretty Sei Shiraishi in it each episode!
My GOSH, she's just gettin' prettier and PRETTIER with each drama she's in!!!
Of course, Nana Seino was great in the drama too, but somehow I really took to Sei's character of Azusa Sajima, the one-time kidnap victim and current girlfriend of Naoki Morishima...
somehow she always seemed sympathetic an it was a particular thrill as the show went on and her role got more prominent....
At times Sei reminded me of Satomi Ishihara in her younger days (think back to Satomi's "Kimi Wa Petto days), which is always a plus....
Watching Shiro demo Kuro demonai Sekai de Panda wa Warau let me see Sei in all her various modes, whether they be studious:
Elegant:
or even disarmingly babylike...(!)
Yep, Sei's the total package!
As you all may recall, I was first introduced to Sei from her role in the drama Zettai Seigi, where I was QUITE taken with her!
...and then a pretty guest role in Scandal Senmon Bengoshi QUEEN
...a meager role in the awesome nanao drama Miss Devil
..and of course her excellent role as Hana Kurimoto in Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita!
Just waiting for Sei to be given a proper starring role where we can see just what she can really do! I'd love to see her do something like Satomi Ishihara's "Reinoryokusha Odagiri Kyoko No Uso", or Emi Takei's "Tokyo Zenryoku Shoujo"-something light and zany since she always seems so gloomy!
We'll keep an eye out for her!!!
