Karata Erika resumes her acting career by starring in a short film, a year and a half since her drama last March
Karata Erika (23), who has been on a temporary hiatus from acting since her affair with actor Higashide Masahiro (33) was reported last January. It was announced today that Karata Erika (23) will be starring in the short film "something in the air" to be shown at the Rakuten Fashion Week TOKYO 2022 S/S fashion show. The film will be released as part of the new collection of the fashion brand "conductorH" and will be distributed online today.
Karata appeared in the TBS drama "Byoshitsu de Nembutsu o Tonaenaide Kudasai" last January season, but was dropped from the drama after the report of her affair. Her agency issued an apology on its official website, saying, "We deeply apologize for the trouble we have caused to everyone involved. After that, the NHK BS Premium drama " Kingyohime" that she appeared in was broadcasted in March of the same year, and this movie will be her first acting role in a year and a half since then.
As for the background of the fashion brand's new collection being presented in this short film, the Corona disaster has caused the fashion industry to shift from presenting new collections in the form of traditional "shows" to focusing on digital releases such as videos, and the designer Shintaro Nagamine came up with the idea of presenting the brand's new collection in the form of a short film with a story, and approached the film director Kobayashi Tatsuo.
The movie stars Karata and Yoshimura Kaito , and also features hibiki (lol) and Ijima Ku. The entire film has been archived on YouTube on the Rakuten Fashion Week website and is already available for viewing.
[+91,483, -10,458] The family was frustrated and also upset, but I think the one who is really frustrated is Anne, whose family was destroyed, right? You are not the victim. Have you even properly apologized to her? I'm sure you haven't. If you haven't done so yet and you resume acting, I think you're a bad person. I think your office should stop pushing you
[+76,653, -6,593] ≫This movie will be her first acting role in a year and a half since then.
It feels really cowardly of Karata to return to acting after a year and a half without even a single apology to Anne.
(T/N op's name is "A mistaken woman who thinks she can go back to work after having an affair".)
[+58,779, -4,529] Even if we lump it all together to say it was an affair, this case left a very bad impression.
The public's rejection of Karata must still be quite strong.
For the time being, it will be a hot topic of conversation, but I think it's clear that the negative image will not be go away, and she will be left in the dust.
[+40,090, -2,945] Even though she messed up someone's family, she doesn't apologize for her actions as an adult member of society, and quietly returns to acting. Who would want to support her? It's just so incredibly selfish.
[+35,419, -2,713] I don't understand the intentions of the brands that use this person. First of all, someone needs to apologize for what she did as an adult. If she thinks she's a victim, she's mistaken. I'll never see this movie, but if they try to advertise it on TV, I'll stop watching that show and I won't buy the sponsor's products.
[+25,149, -1,973] First of all, I think you should apologize to Anne and the other victims of your affair.
Of course, Higashide's sin is worse than yours, but it is an undeniable fact that you destroyed a family.
A youthful ignorance will not be enough
[+21,791, -1,262] It's amazing what a big office will do for you (disgusted)
[+11,439, -691] Where is the demand for this kid?
She hasn't even been recognized as a talent yet, so who would want to see her come back?
Is it a very powerful agency?
This kid is just uncomfortable.
