T_T  PROFILE: Name: Sawajiri Erika (沢尻エリカ) Birthplace: Nerima, Tokyo, Japan Date of Birth: April 8, 1986 Nicknames: Deco (Childhood), Kacchan, Aachan Height: 160cm (5'2 ft.) Ethnicity: Half Japanese, Half Algerian-French Blood type: A Star Sign: Aries Bust: 83cm Waist: 58cm Hips: 86cm Charming Point: Long eyelashes, forehead and small ears Hobbies: People-watching, shopping, collecting cheap candies & cooking Talent: Jazz dance, horse riding, swimming Bad Habit: playing with her hands Character: My-Pace Idol: Amuro Namie Strong Points: incredibly beautiful, healthy, smart and talented girl who is bursting with energy Another Strong Point: a good friend who helps out and gives advices Weak Points: a really moody person, day-dreaming, doesn't finish things (LOL) Likes: Salmon, olive, avocado, sushi, meat, blue and red clothes, karaoke Appeal: appealing to both sexes, girls like her fashion and males buy her photobooks (of course there are also normal fans who like her for her acting) Goal/Aim: becoming a person who has a good influence on other people (reaching them in a good and positive way) Ideal Man: kind ( Profile taken from http://www.erika-sawajiri.net/index.php?topic=261.0 ) Despite being more reknown as an actress and a model, Sawajiri Erika pursued a musical career as well following Taiyou no Uta. It was an instant hit, striking no. 1 on the Oricon Charts and going on to become the best selling female single of 2006. (Erika vs Koda Kumi, Ayumi Hamasaki, BoA, Otsuka Ai, Utada Hikaru, YUI...phew what a win!) She also released a new single, FREE, under just the name, ERIKA. It also went on to reach no. 1 on the Oricon Charts, making her the first singer in 24 years (and second singer overall) to have their first two singles reach number one. In addition to that, the song FREE was used in the Subaru CM to advertise their new Subaru Stella, and FANTASY was used as the commercial song to music.jp It's possible that it may have been her cute face that brought her this success but her vocals are actually pretty good. She does have the ability to sing in tune at the very least, and it got stronger in FREE when compared to Taiyou no Uta. The arrangements of her songs are also rather good, being quite difficult to get bored of.

For another awesome review by Rinoa, go to http://www.channel-ai.com/blog/2007/07/11/erika-free/ Erika apparently will also be releasing a new single sometime in November ( http://erika-fantasy.blogspot.com/search/label/news ) so there's something exciting to look forward to! At her current rate of improvement, the next single should no doubt not be disappointing! 13th September 2007: Recently, there was a survey taken by the magazine 'De View' for women...which woman had the "perfect" face?? Well, Erika duh! Voted number 1...equal first with Yui Aragaki. Personally, I don't see the competiton between the two, I would've thought Erika would have won by a landslide but that's just my perspective. But with a face like Erika's, who could possibly deny her anything other than top spot!?  I think she looks amazingly cute in this image ^^ Credit: http://www.channel-ai.com/viewtopic.php?p=76208#76208 |
