She truly is one of my favorite Japanese actresses! I've seen 8 of her dramas and 7 of her movies but I like her best in Bara no nai Hanaya so please do watch that if you haven't already. She's currently starring in Strawberry Night. She used to be married to Shido Nakamura and has one son with him. From what I've read from rumors and stuff, she seems to be dating Masato Sakai, one of my favorite Japanese actors.

Never really liked her but haven't disliked her either,

somewhat overrated but her best role she was vastly underrated in, this is really a superb film.

^ Maybe you haven't watched her other stuff. :/ I certainly did not like her in the first drama I saw her in which was Mukudono. She was pretty forgettable in that for me. I don't like Pride that much either (probably her most popular role), too much Oedipus Complex hints going on in that.

Have watched many of her things, some good, some not

.... Lunch Queen was so-so, Egao no Hosoku was the absolute pits,

even though Abe was in it it was just so bad. Besides Heaven's Bookstore, which really is a must watch,

her performance in the first 10 minutes of Ringu along with Sato was quite good,

Yomigaeri was okay too but it had a fairly solid cast besides her. Actually her new drama I'm curious about, seems as though it's a fairly serious role for her in Strawberry Night, that might be one I may check out.

I thought Yuko and Abe were brilliant together in The Glorious Team Bautista

@Yoshino I did not like Egao no Hosoku as well. It was boring and they did not end up together (I like happy love-love endings.

) She was great in Bara no nai Hanaya but really, that drama is so emotional for me. I think I bawled over the last 3 episodes of that drama. Strawberry Night is pretty interesting but you might want to start by watching the SP first.

Okay, this goes a little bit off of the thread, but this is a monomane segment with three ladies doing their imitations of well know personalities.
One of the contestants is a woman named Ayano Fukuda, and she is brilliant. She does three of the imitations, including Yuko Takeuchi. Her Takeuchi imitation I actually don't quite get, but she must be using lines from a character that Yuko is well known for.
But it is Fukuda's other two imitations that really work for me- she does Rora (Lola?) who is a well known talento, and is one of the celebrity audience members for the show, and she also does Haruka Ayase- spot on.
Sachiko Takada does two imitations- the one of gravure/actress Megumi Yasu is perfect, but I do not know actress Miho Kanno that well to tell if the imitation is good.
The third impersonator is Mari Okamoto and she imitates race queen/talento Natsuo Okamoto- hard for me to tell.
Order of imitation is Rora, Miho Kanno,Natsuo Okamoto, Yuko Takeuchi, Megumi Yasu, and finally Haruka Ayase (a great way to end the skit).

I really like Takeuchi Yuko. She's my second favorite actress. If I remember well, first time I saw her was last year as I was watching Flash Forward and noticed a Japanese actress. Then I searched for her name and eventually started watching her movies and dramas. I watched Strawberry Night SP and I thought: Wow, she's pretty good actress. After that I zipped through FLOWERS and Closed Note. Nothing really changed after that. But after watching Boku to Tsuma no 1778 no Monogatari and Strawberry Night, I became fond of her. That was when I realized how talented she is. And yet today I've watched Golden Slumber which was pretty good too.

^ try Bara no nai Hanaya if you haven't yet. she's very good in it!

Yuko will be on the cover of Spring this May!
