Just watched the 2014 erotic thriller "Love's Whirlpool" (Ai No Uzu) and I have to saw how shocked I am to see actress Mugi Kadowaki in the role of one of the movie's more...expressive characters!!!
Ai No Uzu tells the story of a troop of inexperienced/lonely people who meet up for an underground "meet-up" to connect with strangers and, ultimately, have sex.
As someone who's only seen Mugi in the roles of the more shy and "mousey" characters, such as the ghostly Chisato in "Omukae Death" and the time-jumping Sato in :"Todome No Kiss", I was stunned to see Mugi letting it all out and throwing herself into the role of the sexual "University Student"...I simply did not think she had it in her!!
Looks like this movie was waaaay before her current J-drama career and so its very likely we won't be seeing anything like this from her again, but ya never know....
