I think Kawaii Joyuu will explain it better,
Do you know the latest buzzword “Mori Girl”? It’s a term that got created in the mixi community, a huge social networking system and one of the most visited Japanese sites in the Internet. The general definition would be a “a girl who seems to be/live in a forest”, describing a girl who would fit more into a forest rather than into a city.
“She has to like fashion that’s natural, but also a bit quirky” or “She wears a lot of dresses that have a loose or comfortable feeling to them”, to name a few of the opinions. The difficulty is that the girl should like “natural clothes”
They did a ranking, in which Yu had nearly 50% of all the votes, pulling a head (for the first time?) of Aoi Miyazaki and Juri Ueno. Also on the list, Mikako Ichikawa – who I think looks amazing with hair pulled up *points to Atsu-hime* And YAY! for the Top 3~~~ xD
Anyway, spoon magazine did a whole issue on it on March. =D
I should use the cover, but this is my favorite shot. xD
Slightly bigger versions here.

This is nice and all, but I wish she did something more constructive with her time like I dunno…..make movies! Do you think she’s still getting offered roles and just turning them down or do you think she’s not getting any love from the film industry anymore?
I can’t wait to come here and find out that she signed up to do another film. That would be the day!

hahaha, the comment is spot on xD
“I wish she did something more constructive with her time like I dunno…..make movies!”
No movies announced for 2010, except for Otouto which is set to open in January. Hmm… maybe she’s taking a sabbatical year, which would suck for us.
