Sawajiri Erika is back, officially!!Yes, the day has finally come. Today it was announced that Sawajiri Erika finally resumed her work and her first new work will be the commercial for a beauty company.
Her agent in Japan made the announcement to the media a few hours ago. "She created her personal office in Spain and hired agents in several countries. Our goal is to increase her activities gradually." Her new official website is going to start at 5pm on March 16 as well.
This announcement confirms that Erika really was building up new connections when she and her husband returned to Japan at the end of last year. The result of her new connections will be a
new commercial for a beauty company that will start airing later this month. It will be a commercial for "Takano Yuri Beauty Clinic" as mentioned in earlier rumors. With this she is going to follow the footsteps of fellow actress Yonekura Ryoko and singer Gackt who used to be two of their recent image characters.
Their commercials are known for showing a lot of skin in an aesthetic way and it won't be any different for Erika. It's said that they used some interesting CG to create a new and original commercial.
A
new photo book is planned for a release in April as well. It was shot by a British cameraman and close friend of Takashiro, but it will not contain any kind of nude photographs unlike claimed in other rumors. It will be a purely artistic collection of photographs and a must-have for all fans left.
Her
future as an actress isn't looking that bad either. She received a lot of offers in and outside of Japan and currently has 4-5 scripts that she might be interested in. Erika now also has an agent in Los Angeles who is going to select some promising roles for her in the
American market. The most interesting fact still is that she's doing all that on her own. With her own office in Spain, she is going to completely produce her herself.
However, fans in Japan might be a bit sad, since she will stay in Madrid most of the time now. Agents in several countries will collect all offers for her and she will only have to chose her personal favorite at her office without having to travel the world to get her the roles.
It's a fresh and fascinating new beginning for Erika. Time will tell whether she learned from her past mistakes and how successful she is really going to be with her own office, but we will definitely hear a lot more from her again.
Happy New Year, Happy 2010 and welcome back, Erika.
