Manami on Cover of Ikkojin

December 27, 2005

Manami is the cover girl for the February, 2006 issue of Ikkojin (一個人) magazine. The theme for this issue is "Is Writing Fun?" and they most likely interviewed and featured her because she has a book of essays to her credit. What a talent.

In other news, Erika Sawajiri (沢尻エリカ) is also starring in "Tenshi No Tamago" (天使の卵) as Konitan's character's little sister, who is in love with Hayato Ichihara's (市原隼人) character, who is in love with Konitan's character. Ah, triangular love. Erika's past roles have been in serious period pieces such as "Pacchigi!" (パッチギ!), "Ashurajo No Hitomi" (阿修羅城の瞳), and "Shinobi" (忍) so this will be a style change for her. They had just wrapped up shooting the climactic hospital scene near Kyoto.

Aldentino Web Movies

December 05, 2005

Manami stars in some web movies at the Aldentino website. The web shorts are directed by the same guy from Inunoeiga.

The first one is up; the movies seem to incorporate the wagamama ("selfish") character from the commercials and the 100 seconds it takes to warm up a dish of of Nissin's Aldentino pasta.
