The most recent news about actress Erika Sawajiri, 23, currently residing in Spain, is that she is planning to appear nude in a publication.
A close friend of her husband, Takashiro, admitted he was aware that several companies had made such offers in the past, which he absolutely refused. But recently, another friend in Spain mentioned a photographer in Spain who is close to Takashiro, and of a possible photo shoot in Paris.
A Shukan Post reporter flew to Barcelona and interviewed boutiques and cafes where Sawajiri is known to frequent. However, store clerks had been warned by Takashiro that the Japanese paparazzi were after them, and were unwilling to provide any information about the couple. Sawajiri already seems to be a prominent figure in the city, “even though the only words she can speak in Spanish are ‘hola’ and ‘adios,’” commented a local resident.
One acquaintance that had visited the couple’s home affirmed that Takashiro had a large collection of his wife’s photos that he took himself. “If there is a plan for publishing nude photos, the photographer will definitely be Takashiro” was the comment.
No further information to confirm or deny this plan was available in Barcelona, and Takashiro’s agency refused to make any statement.
But as reported earlier, Sawajiri is bored with her life in Spain, and is often seen drinking at bars on her own. It still seems that she wants to return to Japan and work as an actress. Will she make her comeback in the nude or fully dressed?

"The only words she can speak in Spanish are Hola and Adios". Amazing! A Japanese expat who doesn't even bother to learn the native language. I wonder if any posters will complain about her lack of ability the way they criticize gaijin here who don't speak a lot of Japanese?

Nudity is the most natural state, just go for it, just do it :)

I wonder if this risque news of Japan's litle darling will make it outside of Gossip Post.
And I am planning to buy it. But what else is she planning to do? Her continued bratty thumbing at the Japanese show biz world has pretty much left her out of planning. Enjoy your downward spiral, drama queen.

Looks like all that clubbing in Barca has been expensive.

I don't think she's an expat in Spain, just a long-term tourist.
alphawolf
Again, if you want attention.. do something vulgar... aw
PepinGalarga
technically, she already POSED for the photo shoot, since the story says that her husband already has a lot of picture of her... i wonder what would happen to that stash when they get divorced.
Drinking by herself in a bar in Spain. Another one of these antisocial japanese girls that goes to drink alone in bars and doesn't talk to anyone. I hate it when i see that in Japan. Definitely will not be popular with the locals either.

She is much too old now to do nude shoots in Japan! LOL

It seems like someone in Spain is turning her out! AV here she comes.

I've seen nude photos of her. Wouldn't mind seeing more.

Maybe she also learned to say
"Cervesa per favor!"
(Hai, yoku Ganbarimashita)!

Sawajiri should've done that after the press conference snafu.
But then again, never too late.
LOWLY: Where oh where did you see that?

Why are nude photo shoots considered kinda rite of passage in J-showbiz?
numbskull
Girls need these made-up but "important seeming" little reasons to strip. You won't get a cookie for asking questions. Just go along with it and you will get to enjoy the results and be happier for it.

nightvision I saw the pix somewhere on the net once, just one or two. Try searching her name, kanji is 沢尻エリカ I think.

How long has she been "going to language school" (I think the article was about 2 months ago) and all she can say is two words???!
Lucky she has a good body then!

LOWLY: Thanks... but can't find it. Photoshopped, maybe?
This is the first time I saw that Takashiro. Why are there so many unexplainable things on earth? How can that oddity be explained?
I bet that Sawajiri could have the world if she asked for it, so why this Takashiro? Was she looking for a father figure? There are probably ten thousand cooler, richer, more decent-looking middle-aged men in Japan, and she picks this grubby thing?
Lowly
Sorry you couldn't find them. Maybe if you look at one of her regular pix using your special NIGHTVISION you could see something.
What I saw wasn't photoshopped, straight topless pix. Why? She's had her pick of Ojisans for years since she was a teen I forget if she did the old telephone club or did enjokosai (prostitution) or just picked them up on the street, but she was sleeping with lots of older men like a maniac since she was a kid so presumably she knows what she likes. Her hubby is apparently a world-famous DJ, I don't really know the DJ world, but she used to go to his clubs/ shows a lot, then started depending on him a lot... He's also famous and liked by millions of anonymous ppl. So's she. etc...

She looks hot from here, so go for it! get the cash and go naked. Do some porn too!
Junnama
What will Takashiro be pimping her out soon? Crazy story....
hotachichi
She should have been more humble. Her career would've lasted longer.
JmannGod
yeeeeeessssssss!!!!!

This is not news. Tell us 'when' they are published please!!
sydenham
That's an interesting conclusion. I could speculate about why she does it, and one reason is not polite enough for me to post(hint, it starts with "s" and ends with "t"). The other potential explanation is just too sad.
Damien15
what could it be? short, sweet, shirt, straight, skirt, shit??
anon99
Just say yariman and everyone gets it
But yes, this demoiselle is one hell of a lost, misguided soul, thinking about money, "standard of living" and maybe physical/spiritual gratification etc.
If this is indeed the way to rediscover herself, then it's an outright lie.
Behind money, fame, standard of living etc. comes with hard work. What kinds of REAL hard work has she actually contributed during those years??
A wild flower that grows under adverse conditions eh? So strong, so wild, she's going to end up destroying herself in the end.

The tabloids love going after her with these kind of rumors, almost all of which turn out to be bogus. Sign of the times when you can libel someone without fear of being sued. Most people just want it to go away than to call a lawyer.
pathat
Rumors circulate that Sawajiri will do nude photo shoot
Lookin' forward to it.

syd,
I think the main reason is that she has these eggs in her belly that are driving her wild-eyed to get fertilized, she is either honest about that or the drive is just too strong for any lies anyone told her/ she told herslef about "society" to hold it back, and so she uncontrollably grinds her pelvis with a suitable mate. Generally "strong" is what women like, so older stable types or wealthy types (which are gnrly older) seem like the best bet. There could be something tragic in her past, or maybe just an undependable floppy father. Wait- didn't she grow up w/o a father? I forgot. Or just her drive is that big a steamroller.
