I've been a fan of Horikita Maki ever since I first saw her in Nobuta Wa Produce and Hanazakari Kimitachi E and really grew to respect and love her as an actress in shows like Innocent Love and Tokujo Kabachi, but strangely enough, I've never really thought she was all that ravishing a gal. (Yes, I know I'm in the minority) Maybe it was the stigma of Hana Kimi and Nobuta, which really played on her tomboyish looks.
So earlier this evening I'm watching another fun episode of Himitsu No Arashi-Chan, and during one of their ill-timed sponsor breaks, they run the latest LOTTE commercial for their new CHARLOTTE AI choco sticks, and who should come striding through the door but this gorgeous, lovely creature whom I had to double take as I realized it was none other than Horikita-san herself!
HOLY CRAP does she look FINE in this commercial! Maybe she's gearing up for that Byakuyako role, but she's really pulling out her sultry, sexy-vixen look here! She was already showing signs of that calm, cool stature in Tokujo Kabachi looks like she got the attitude DOWN! I was like, "WHOA! Maki Horikita is...HOT!"
This commercial was a win/win all the way around for besides Maki looking all kinds of fine, it also featured Nagase Tomoya as Horikita's wacky boss making for a fun and zany ad, one that made me say for the first time: MAKI HORIKITA SUUUUUUUUUURE IS SEXY!!!
