Erika returning to Japan

Erika is back in Japan once again to celebrate her boyfriend's birthday. She was followed by press again and ignored all questions as usual.



Here's a small picture from his blog with Erika in it.

Even though Erika is in London for the year, it looks like we will still get to see her quite a bit through the year.

For the W52S CM Erika had to train to learn kung-fu! She had learned some of her moves from a kung-fu teacher, but still found it to be very difficult, but shooting the CM took a very short time. She enjoyed the kung-fu it and said she would like to continue. Shooting the W53S CM took a few days to complete. Erika had to dress up in 100 different outfits, each one matching each phone design! She gladly gave up one of her vacation days to work on the CM.

These are clips from the DVD that came with the limited edition version of Erika's third photobook, ERIKA2007. It was released on August 29, 2007. The limited edition version was already sold out in many places within a few days. Erika had complete control over most of the production with this photobook/DVD. This was also Erika's first time being able to do a photobook with things she wanted to do. She chose everything from the locations, clothing, and overall photobook design.

• Erika at Fountain Pen Event

Quite a few of the clips, not commercials, came from hydetetsu (who is amazing!) at ESN. If you want to download some ofthem, they are in the download section at ESN forums.
If you would like for me to upload any of the commercials or making-of commercials to Sendspace, Megaupload, Yousendit, or any other site, please comment.

This is only part one of the videos. I will have another post in a few days with the rest of my videos.

COFFRET D'OR CM (Erika 15s Version)

Shooting COFFRET D'OR CM

Judging from Erika's hair, and how tired she looks, I am guessing this CM was shot in September.

Erika on Yahoo! Live Talk

Erika was just on Yahoo! Live Talk to promote Kanebo's new COFFRET D'OR makeup line! This is her first public appearance since the Closed Note event that took place in September. She appeared very happy! It is good to see Erika has bounced back from the strong bashing she has received. Here are some images for now, and I will add the video soon!
