Erika Sawajiri's comeback..ever??

Erika Sawajiri has been facing a lot of scrutiny from the Japanese media since last years' incidents. One including her big PR disaster last year (responding "betsu ni," meaning nothing special when asked about her role in a new movie "Closed Note") and acting in a very rude and unprofessional way..gaining her the name "Erika-sama" for her uptight attitude. Also, her very surprising marriage to 44 yr old Takashiro Tsuyoshi in January.

There are rumors that she will be making her comeback this year as the lead female (Mori Yuki) in a live action "Space Battleship Yamato" film directed by Ishiguro Noboru, but it hasn't been confirmed yet because she doesn't seem to want to return to Japan from travelling with her husband. Personally, I don't know much about Erika, except that she has a lot of talent. She's a great actress and singer. I'm really rooting for her comeback..hopefully. Erika, Ganbatte!
