http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?...-of-all-time-acting.8090/page-94#post-1041007 Yuko was voted the best actress by the Stage48 Users (Most Talented Members of all Time: Acting).
I have no doubt about that. Yuko has been an actress since childhood and her dream is becoming an actress ; she even graduated from AKB to pursuit that dream. It's a long way to go, but i think she can do it. It is really great to see her in a Hollywood-Japan movies like Pacific Rim or 47 Ronins.
I'm sure Yuko will be making appearances in American movies soon, if you remember, she's interested in learn English, and someday she will be a worldwide recognized actress!
Hey Gideon, it's been a while Haven't seen a translated version. Will post if I do. - Upcoming stage play with SMAP's Goro. Goro's Beethoven while Yuko will be costarring as the sister of a piano craftsman who later supports Beethoven in his musical endeavors. 「No.9-Fumetsu no Senritsu-」 Website: no9-stage.jp/ Spoiler
it's great to see Yuko not only thrive on tv dramas/movies but on stage play as well. imo Yuko is the most natural actress on AKB48 anyway. even on Akbingo I don't cringed when I see her react at something unlike with other members noticeable forced-calculated overreaction. (except Yukirin I love her reaction)
Yamegoku TV Rating : Ep 1 - 9.1% ; Ep 2 - 6.7% ; Ep 3 - 6% ; Ep 4 - 6.2% ; Ep 5 - 6.4% ; Ep 6 - 6.1% ; Ep 7 - 5.2%. This drama has only 3 episodes left. The rating seems quite low compared to " Zeni no Sensou ". Haiz I guess she still has a long way to go ...
I think the only reason why Zeni no Sensou would get higher ratings than Yamegoku is because of Tsuyoshi Kusanagi. Maybe I'm wrong, but if Yamegoku had someone from SMAP or ARASHI starring in the drama, it would probably get higher ratings than where it's at right now. Of course, I would want Yuko to continue getting more starring roles in dramas despite the ratings because I hope that one day, she'll have a breakout role.
I just saw the Yuko Oshima mechaike special and I want to know, was there an "extra" episode released for it? Extra episodes are basically just behind the scenes episodes and I realized a LOT of stuff was cut out in the mechaike special. Mayuyu and Kato Koji had a fight segment and in one scene they are clean, the next scene they are covered in cake. We only saw Yuko get cake to her face, not those two. Also, when Yuko arrived with the comedy duo, they were all wearing running jackets or coats and said, "if you want to know why we are wearing this, it's a long story." Was that ever explained? I'm guessing they ran to the location but who knows, too much stuff was edited out.
