Been hard to believe that Naoko hasn't had a thread of her own, probably done 100 searches and always in disbelief when I can't find a thread for her. Not as popular as she once was but still ranked in the top 100 for artistes, been my #1 for quite a while, figured it's time to finally start one for her, have plenty of things of her to add in, hopefully so do many others.

Few more pics of Naoko, not easy to find them, least the less steamy ones, but got plenty to share.

First thing I saw Naoko was this film from 1995, Zero Woman: Final Mission, probably viewed it 10 times so far, it's part of a cheap 3 movie Zero Woman set. Wasn't the final mission as there are 8 more after that one, Naoko's was only the second in the series, took 21 years to get to a 'sequel'. One of the better entries, actually is much tamer than any other one but she had one quite memorable scene, have plenty of shots from the film, here's part 1 of them.

Few more shots from the Zero Woman movie, no artistic masterpiece but it's an enjoyable action packed flick, just don't get on Rei's bad side.

Naoko at a benefit festival in S Hirakawa 5 days ago, still looking good.

Bus Stop, Naoko's great drama from 2000, though she's done many good shows and films this is my #1 from her. Light hearted romance drama, serious but with enough funny moments to give it that light hearted feel, classic case of a high class person somehow ending up with a working class person, done many times but this is the best of them.
Have many shots from it, don't know if all the versions are like mine but quality is sub par on it like a lot of older dramas, mainly the colors as you'll see, watched it so many times hardly notice it though any more.
Shots from the first 2 episodes.

I know her from Jōdan ja nai. The drama isn't really spectacular and she only has a secondary role but her character was extremely funny and stole the scene whenever she was on the screen.

Bus stop is on my to watch list.

That entire drama was pretty forgettable... A waste of a lot of talented actors.

I haven't seen it though I really like most of the cast, but with the lead role being Yuji had to pass on it, cannot stand that guy.

Then you wouldn't like that drama at all: he pretty much mugs his way throughout the entire drama.

The drama had a relatively good premise, but the writing was just awful.

^^ I can believe he mugged his way thru the show, learned the hard way that when he's in a show/film it's best to skip it.
Too much talk of him, more than he deserves, some shots here of a Naoko CM earlier this year for Bubble Vlone.

Few more Bus Stop shots, from episodes 3-5.

Show I just found which was not listed in Dramawiki is 40 Onna to 90 Nichi Kan de Kekkon suru Houhou, 2009 drama that was streamed on BeeTV, short episodes which were combined to make on long movie, found the DVD, naturally no subs. Meanwhile how about a few misc. pics?

_________________

Watched the first half of the 40 Onna to 90 Nichi Kan de Kekkon suru Houhou series, easy to do when they're only 10 minutes an episode, unsubbed but can understand the majority of it but miss too much, like why are certain things happening. Title basically means trying to find a 40 year old woman to marry within 90 days, not sure why this 25 year old guy is trying to do it, can understand why with Naoko but he's doing it for a certain reason...a bet? Work? Hopefully can figure it out in the second half, few shots here from the first 3 eposodes, 12 total episodes.

Few more shots of Naoko from 40 Onna to 90 Nichi Kan de Kekkon suru Houhou, need to finish that tonight, episodes 4-6 here.

Few more misc. pics of Nao-chan.

Finished up 40 Onna to 90 Nichi Kan de Kekkon suru Houhou, enjoyed it but would have more so if it was subbed, had a happy ending, few shots from the last few episodes.

Just a few more misc. Naoko pics.

Some shots here of Naoko from the Kurosagi movie that came out in 2007. Not as big of a role as it could have been, she was swindled and lost everything but Kurosagi came to the rescue as she really needed the money for her daughter to have an operation in the States to save her life.
