A Wild Anne Nakamura Appeared!

Anne Nakamura in Otousan to Yobasete

If you recall my earlier blogpost about the Satomi ishihara drama 5 Ji Kara 9 Ji Made, you'll remember that I was head over heels infatuated with luscious gravure-model-turned-actress Anne Nakamura, and I was PLEASANTLY surprised, when watching the new Misako  Renbutsu drama Otousan to Yobasete, to see her appearing in the role of Hanazawa Kiichiro's (Atsuro Watabe) secretary Kiwa Aikawa!!

Oooh, Anne is looking so lovely here, unfortunately, she doesn't get an awful lot of individual face screentime, as Hanazawa's Secretary, most of her scenes are shot together with Atsuro Watabe, Can't wait to see her character get fleshed out more...

Yeah, yeah, I know, it's not like she's doing any major roles yet, but just give it time hopefully we'll be seeing even more of her! After all, it wasn't so long ago that even Misako Renbutsu herself was playing only bit roles, now look at her, all grown up and headlining dramas of her own!

PS, I can never quite get used to the young actresses of yesteryear now playing older mothers in dramas, like Kyoka Suzuki and Anju Suzuki in Riso No Musuko, Takako Tokiwa in Tonbi, and now we have 90's  cutie Emi Wakui playing Misako's Mama!
