Sawajiri Starts 2008 With a Smile on Her Face

Actress Erika Sawajiri (21) was seen at Tokyo International Aiport today (January 4, 2008) with her boyfriend, hyper media creator Tsuyoshi Takashiro (43) heading to London for a vacation. She arrived wearing a long black jacket, a long skirt, holding a camera. She started out shaking fans with many of her fans and reporters, all with a big smile. This wiped out much of the ill-humor from last September's Closed Note premiere. They started to refer to her as the "New Erika", and that they are impressed with how much she's matured since then. When Erika appeared in the second terminal, she was given a big stuffed bear. Reporters tried asking her questions about her future plans, but all she did was smile and continue on her way.
