Juri Ueno on the catwalk

On Saturday, Juri Ueno participated in the Kobe Collection 2008 Fall-Winter as a model, showing everyone quite a different side from her usual characters in dramas. I have to say she looks good, but I barely recognized her at first! This was her first time as a show model, and she was a secret guest at the end for the Emanuel Ungaro brand. Take a look:

Speaking of Juri-chan, I just finished watching Rainbow Song (Niji no Megami), which starred her and Hayato Ichihara. I liked it well enough, but it’s not your typical tearjerker. I won’t go into an in-depth review, but I’ll just say that the whole chapter with Ichihara and that nutso girlfriend kind of threw me off, and the movie-within-the-movie was also unexpected. Actually, it was my second dose of sadness today, since I watched the movie right after Heavenly Forest, with Hiroshi Tamaki and Aoi Miyazaki. (That’s why the poll today is about happy and sad endings!)
