A up and coming star on the rise wouldn’t be so foolish to destroy her future like this. There must be some reason behind it and that isn’t something that is easily bought to the surface. Some have remarked it’s part of the movie promotion, but truthfully, if that’s the truth, it would only diminish our interest in catching the movie. Truthfully, the PR fiasco is kind of overboard but we hope that we can stay neutral and judge objectively.

There was a reason behind my bad mood that day, but I can’t reveal it because it involves my personal privacy.
She added that she didn’t believe (prior to the conference) that that (personal reason) would effect her in that manner. She was quite earnest with this answer since she didn’t blame it on her own problems but admitting that she had indeed committed a mistake, very well.
I am not very happy with what’s being written about me recently. Some of the things written are true while some are not. For example, me being suspended for one year isn’t true.
As for the apology letter, she was asked whether it was written by her, whether the words in the letter appeared in her own dictionary, she replied of course. But when asked how did she come about writing the sentences in the letter, she gave a rather vague answer, “It was just written like that.”

She then said that she had hoped to enter the entertainment industry because she wanted to meet Namie Amuro. But she started to have her own ideas after growing up and has now decided to pursue an acting career.
Finally. just like what was seen in the video, the host asked her if there’s anything she would like to say to her fans or those involved with the matter? 10 minutes of silence ensued before she sincerely admitted that she had acted very unprofessionally and betrayed her fans, she is deeply regretful and sorry for her actions. She hope that everyone can give her a chance to repent.
When she got the support of the host, she started to weep even more sorrowfully. You would too if you hear a word of support from someone when the whole world is against you.
She added that she will continue to work hard and hope that everyone can anticipate her coming works. She will use her future works to repay all the negative vibes that she has caused due to this. They also did a live on the street survey on whether they accept her apology, majority of them acknowledge and forgave her.
What’s important though is how the public sees her after this interview, check the papers tomorrow.

One report says she got angry about not having enuf time for her make up.

probably a contributing factor, but there should be something else big that we probably won’t ever know…
LOL.. I still don’t like her.. I prefer the other Erika. Erika Toda. Although she’s always playing the character that tries to steal away the guy from the girl (Kurosagi, Nobuta Wo Produce, Hana Yori Dango 2) but she’s got this sweet aura about her.
Me too I prefer Toda, but she doesn’t play in Kurosagi.
I don’t believe one words of Sawajiri Erika, she is a bad girl, and there’s nothing more to say.
I love her as an actress but not as a person.
I like Sawajiri. She’s the best!^^
I think u guys are too cruel if not give her any chance. Like she said, this would be her last chance. It’s the best if she can also change her attitude as she was in her movie, so cute, if not because of this, I really thought that she was totally a perfect girl for every man. Just try ur best Erika, try to be a better person from now, dont throw away ur future just like this, think first before u do anything, & how come u can love a man who is 20 more years older than u, omg, u really should reconsider what u have done wrong.
Erika is the best!!! and for god’s sake anyone could do, what she did, she’s and actress, a singer and a model…so, it’s almost normal, That’s why I only care about her singing, acting and modeling
Kissus, and sorry about my english.
I love her movie but don’t fake cry it don’t work on me. Break up with takashiro and i will be happy to support you again. Is it true that you you smoke in a cafe because if you do you will break my heart more. love your movie and song even your acting. please change for the world to see that you are a grat person.
….is this about the truth on her sex scandal? O.O If it is… give her a second chance lol and what is up with erika sawajiri? O.O You people must act like a child who first saw a candy when an actor/actress passes by… but I don’t
nyahahahaha!!!!!
sawajiri i love youuuuuu !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dont fall down on thisss !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i dunt know about the truth
but i think that she was mad bcoz of her outfit
you can search from youtube and see the conference film
she was the only one who wore wigs and thick make up
i think that is the reason she was mad
Well, 1 litre of tears and the video clip were the only 2 media files that got me to like erika, her beauty her softness and elegance of her soul. DEMO after reading news about her, I think she reminded me about britney spears and made me not like the real erika, also her fascination about looking western made her lose too much of her japanese charm which is in the first place the reason I liked her!
So I am willing to forgive her, if she considers to return to the old erika, the pure full of life and sweetness Erkia!
i cont know her . . . i know erika fief . . .
i dont get wat is wrong wid some of u guys.
is she not allowed to be arrogant? does her behavior really concern us?
wats important is dat she has talent. things such as smoking and goin out wid a 43 yr old is none of ur concern, let her some personal freedom. i dont believe every actress or actor is friendly. stop thinking that they are god or something because just lyk us, they are humans too, they have their own life too.
as for whether or not her apology/crying was fake or not, wouldnt be suprised if it was, but dont exactly care much about it. but shes still a very gud actress in my opinion!
i really really relaly love her acting but i dont believe her so called “apology”
she has a relaly bad attitude. but i still love watching her films so its not like im prejudiced against her.
but seriously she needs a personality makeover.
10 min is too long for a ultimate super actress like erika to fake a cry. she was definitely having a internal conflict.. wonder y nobody figure tat out.. has been 1 year of bias on her..
People need to cut this girl some fucking slack. She’s human, just like the rest of us! So she acts in a certain way that’s perceived as rude and negative, but everyone has bad days.
In any case, this gal’s completely screwed up.
Her style/demeanor has now become a stereotype.
Some like her style and follow suit, only to create more trouble in various parts of the society/community eg. the workplace.
Josei Seven has posted an article in late 2007 regarding her demeanor, and how to idenfify those that have followed her footsteps to be impudent/egotistic/rude, in the vicinity/community/neighborhood etc.
She’s like a viral strain. Until she’s killed off in this domain, the societies wouldn’t be in peace anymore.
Her early life might have been full of family tragedies, but until the next family tragedy claims her life, there will be absolutely NO truce!!
u can’t judge n insult her like this…
she is a human, she only did foolish things.. we as humans, we have done foolish things like erika, right? erika is not perfect human.. in my opinion, because 1 litre of tears, all of u guys see her like an innocent person.. its just acting!!! if u think that erika is ikeuchi aya (1 litre of tears), its meaning that erika did great job.. and i think she knows that she is wrong.. she apologize to all people…
why we can’t forgive her??
i’m certain that erika will make over her personality… and come back to japan industry entertainment.. with great act… and make our proud of her…
omg guys y do u people hate her that much…
man i love herrrr c is like da best japanese actress i have eva seen…
even if c did bad stuff i still forgive her
n i hope c will start playing movies n dramas again n hope c makes a new song
i wish erika would c dis website so dat c would no dat c has alot of fan!!!!!
She’s only a human, the FANs should forgive and accept her for wh0 she was. dont judge! everyone deserves a sec0nd chance, and everyone does mistake! so peace out!
geez, haters should grow up.. its been a year and a half and she already made an apology about that and you guys still hate her?
i agree with many people, she has made a grave mistake but thats only prrof that shes human just like us, which also make mistakes at one point of our lives.
i dont care what haters say, becuase if youve seen 1 litre no Namida then I’m sure you can NEVER EVER deny the fact that shes a REAALLLLLYYYY great actress.
sorry if my english was bad.
ur the great actress erika we love you….
people please forgive erika for what have she done,everyone can make a mistakes.

あなた最も良い erika sawajiri ^^
erika is human , but a cruel 1 i suppose ?
human have alot of personalities ..
erika makes no different from the other ..
what she promises she didnt honoured
if she knows the consequence of doing a mistake ? why she tends to do it and repeat it ?
human are like tat .. it cant be saved anymore …..
greedy , selfish , seek for power and attention …
that’s what human is made for
but well , erika is a good actress but not anymore ..
darkness tend to own
