Erika at Closed Note Premiere 9/29

Erika Sawajiri, star of the new movie Closed Note, which premiered today, arrived at the premiere in a new blonde hairstyle, a chiffon animal print dress, and something on her mind that seemed to have her upset greatly. She's been acting differently for the past few days, beginning with the 'Radio de Culture' television appearance. People have said she appeared to have a 'Cold Hearted Queen' feeling. She stood the whole time, with her head down, folded arms, and sighing repeatedly. She did end up apologizing, however, stating that she wasn't feeling well at the time. This time it's definitely not just the bad attitude she's been rumored to have! We hope she feels better soon!

Erika on Radio de Culture 9/28

It's the infamous appearance of Erika on "Radio de Culture" from today (Sep 28).
You wouldn't image how much of a buzz it started again. She sure didn't make too many friends at this show. Erika, with a stiffen face, seems to be completely angry throughout the show. The hosts have a hard time to finish the whole interview.
There is a completely unpleasant feeling from the start to the end.
Later, in the fan question part of the morning show...man..if looks could kill..
It all became worse when she answered "None" to the question "What are your weak points?". Sure, it's good to be self-confident, but she said it in such a tone...
We all know that Erika sometimes has her five minutes, but this kind of attitude in public/the media only pushes the enemies of her.

These women were chosen as present day ladies to express the "elegance and beauty made ideal from the beholder, flowing from the inside out." This campaign is extensive and will range from television commercials to magazine advertisements.

Erika's new song is called "Destination Nowhere" and will be the theme song for the upcoming fall dorama "Mop Girl", starring Kitagawa Keiko in the main role.

The rest of the cast includes Tanihara Shosuke, Asami Reina, Takaoka Sousuke, Sato Jiro and more.

Erika at final Closed Note Screening

On September 21, Sawajiri Erika (21) attended the preview screening of "Closed-Note" (directed by Isao Yukisada; opening 09/29) in the Yurakucho Yomiuri Hall of Tokyo and people were able to greet her in an hand-shake event on stage.
Erika, who appeared in an adult-like black dress this time, went on the stage to greet the audience. While the 1100 people from the audience had the chance to personally greet her, a few "ERIKA!" shouts could be heard from the crowd.
The preview screening campaign made stops in eight different places and now is finally coming to an end. "The provincial tour is coming to an end. It's the first time that we are finishing the event with a greeting and it makes me really happy.", Erika said. After this she had to answer questions coming from the seats (the audience). "She really presents an adult-like aura and has been incredible good-looking", people later commented.
It was the first public appearance of Erika after the rumor of her affair with Takashiro Tsuyoshi (43), but there has been no comment from Erika about it. At the end, Erika pulled out four lucky people from the audience. Their prize was an handwritten autograph from Erika.
