I thought about it, but she was so close and looking around, there was no way I could be that sneaky. Besides, growing up in Nashville, I learned to be respectful of celebrities' privacy and treat them like normal people (which they usually are) early on.

I've met a lot of famous people, but she's one of my favorite actresses, and she is hot, so it was an exciting moment.

I suppose you could've asked for a photo, but props to you for being considerate and not imposing. Victory! Peace!

Sometimes folks just want to get somewhere. Yesterday, I attended a rooftop concert in Ikebukuro, and afterwards happened to cross paths with Bird's guitarist as he was carrying his gear to the freight elevator. We briefly made eye contact, so I told him (in Japanese) that I really enjoyed the show, we bowed and thanked each other, and he was on his way. In most cases, that's the best approach. Unless they are more engaging, then chance encounters can lead to actual conversations (I've talked guitars with Vince Gill, touring with Yngwie Malmsteen, cars with Billy Gibbons, and motorcycles with Billy Cox, Jimi Hendrix's old Army buddy and bassist).

Okay guys, looks like we've got a chance! (Actually we don't, but we can dream can't we?)

Yoko Maki divorces husband Reo Katayama

On September 26, it was reported that actress Maki Yoko has divorced her husband, former actor Katayama Reo. Maki's agency made the announcement via fax to media outlets.

According to the announcement, Maki and Katayama submitted their divorce papers at a ward office in Tokyo this month. The actress also apologized for making the sudden announcement in this format.

Maki and Katayama got married in November of 2008. They welcomed their first child, a daughter, in May the following year. Maki will have parental authority over their daughter.

Yoko Maki to star in FujiTV 2017 Summer drama

Maki Yoko will be starring in the new FujiTV Summer 2017 drama "Seshiru no Mokuromi" (Cecile's Plot) which will begin its run from July in the Thursdays 10pm timeslot. The drama which is based on the same-titled novel by Yuikawa Kei, marks Maki's first leading role in a drama in 2 years. The name Cecile in the title comes from the French novel Bonjour Tristesse by Françoise Sagan where a young girl with good looks plots something sinister as she grapples with the struggles and troubles of being a woman.

The story features Maki as the lead character Nao who is a housewife and has not been paying much attention to her appearance for a long time as she is caught up with taking care of her husband and son who is in the first year of junior high school. By chance, she is scouted to become a readers' model by a fashion magazine Vanity where she comes face to face with jealousy, the need to keep up appearances and rivalry in this industry. Through her interaction with various women in different life situations, she undergoes a transformation both externally and psychologically. Co-stars include Kichise Michiko who plays Hamaguchi Yukako, the No.1 charismatic model grappling with loneliness, Ito Ayumi who is Okita Eri, a single freelance writer worried about her future and is the one who scouted Nao as well as Itaya Yuka who plays the chief editor of Vanity named Kurosawa Junko and Hasegawa Kyoko as Yasunaga Maiko who used to be the No.2 model at Vanity and is a commentator appearing on TV programmes now.

Maki who has a 8-year-old daughter in real-life, said that she can identify with the challenges faced by working mothers but hopes that she will be able to show via this drama that the people who look like they are living a good life stick to their own principles and live by their own means in different ways.

Thanks for the info. It sounds like a strange and interesting drama. I guess the last one two years ago was Mondai? Hopefully this will be a good show. I still want to watch the Bakarhythm SP starring Maki from a couple years ago, Kamoshirenai Joyutachi.

Yoko Maki's agency terminates her contract

Entertainment agency Flying Box announced that they have terminated their contract with Yoko Maki.

The January 30th issue of 'Josei Jishin' reported that Maki had disagreements with the agency over salary issues and she would be leaving.

The agency denied this saying, "We believe that we have carried out our obligations in all sincerity. Upon contract renewal, we got together with Yoko Maki and discussed her future. We have come to the conclusion that we will terminate her contract due to differences in direction."

They also said they would continue managing her current endorsements and films, but her activities after that are undecided.

Yoko Maki to star in NTV 2019 Summer drama

Yoko Maki will star in the NTV 2019 Summer drama "Voice: 110 Kinkyu Shireishitsu".

Maki plays Hikari Tachibana a voice profiler whose father was murdered. She has a special hearing ability which allows her to hear sounds that other people do not.

Victims in criminal cases call #110 which is connected to the emergency control room. To save people as quickly as possible, an investigation "emergency call response unit" is formed. Hikari works in the emergency control room and gathers location information from callers with her special hearing ability. She passes on the information to Detective Shogo Higuchi (Toshiaki Karasawa) in the emergency call response unit. Detective Higuchi then goes out with his team to save the victims. They must respond as quickly as possible while the crime is still fresh.

The drama begins in July.
