Well, I have to say that I’ve been waiting for a vehicle like this for Sasaki Nozomi for quite a while! From the first time I saw her as Kyoko Fukada’s roommate in Massugu No Otoko, I’ve been wowed by her stunning good looks, but have only seen her playing small bit parts in the movies and dramas. I was always waiting to see Nozomi in her own starring show, and it looks like TENSHI NO KOI is the ticket!

| Luscious Tenshi No Koi Poster |
From just a glance at the Movie poster for Tenshi No Koi (with a very seductive Nozomi sitting naked on a bed with her dress around her waist) , you knew I was going to see this movie NO MATTER WHAT, and I would have been satisfied seeing even a mediocre movie just to see her in action, I was instead quite pleased to find a thoroughly enjoyable outing!
The tried and tested formulaic story of “guy meets girl, girl and guy fall in love, then one is found to be dying of an illness” is an old clichéd tune for sure, but somehow, Nozomi’s sweet portrayal of student by day/escort by night Rio is so adorably infectious you find that you don’t even care! You’re just happy to go along for the ride!

| Nozomi Brings on The Pout, Shosuke Tanihara behind |
This movie reunites Nozomi with her "Handsome Suit" star Shosuke Tanihara, and comparing the two movies, it's amazing how much she's grown as an actress. Whereas Handsome Suit featured her mostly as a cute and ditsy supermodel with barely any lines of dialog, who would have thought that in only a few years, she'd be headlining her own movie with Tanihara!
Like I said, I’ve liked Nozomi for a while now, and just KNEW that once I got to see her in a movie or drama where she could show what she could do, I would fall MADLY in love with her, or at least madly in CRUSH of her! After seeing her as the smart, sexy and always straightforward girl, I finally felt like I got to “know” Nozomi more than the fly by night bit roles she’d been in before!

| On Himitsu No Arashi-Chan's MANNEQUIN FIVE sgment |
Besides a terrific guest spot on a recent Himitsu No Arashi-Chan VIP ROOM (as well as a spot on an episode of MANNEQUIN FIVE), I recently caught Nozomi in a guest part in the drama "Propose Kyodai", and as usual, she was her gorgeous self, bringing that beautiful smile (with those rosy, cherubic cheeks!) I've come to love with her! Would really like to see her in a drama of her own, but so far no one seems to have subbed "Dohyo Girl", dunno why, is Nozomi as a Sumo Wrestling coach too much of a stretch? AHAHAHA!

Oooh, and one more tantalizing aspect of Nozomi Sasaki is her wonderful gravure model work, where we find the curvy Nozomi is very generous when it comes to showing off her sexy self in a bikini! Oh Yes, this is good stuff...
Yes, Very, Very Good Stuff!
