Press conference about Sayaka's new film: “Ashita ni Kakeru Ai”, which will be released early next year.
Back in May, Tokyo Hive had a story about the film, which has an interesting story line.
http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/05/ichii-sayaka-to-star-in-collaborative-film-by-china-and-japan/ Her last film was "Pinch Runner", which was a Morning Musume project, but before you laugh, and say "Muppet, you got to be kidding me!", with muffled giggles, "Pinch Runner" was a huge improvement on the first Morning Musume film " Morning Cop ~Daite HOLD ON ME!" and Sayaka showed a lot of acting promise in "Pinch Runner".
Now at age 27, with two children and the unfortunate experience of being recently divorced- she certainly has lived life, and the experience will enhance her portrayals in what will hopefully turn out to be a lot of projects.
