~kc~ san, thanks for starting this thread,and Yoshino san, thanks for adding to it! I don't know much about Misako.
In 2007, she attracted praise for her starring role in 転校生 さよなら あなた / Tenkôsei Sayonara anata / Switching Goodbye Me
Of note is that the director Nobuhiko Ohbayashi remade his earlier 1982 fillm "Tenkosei" (I Are You, You Am Me) when making this film. The plot is the story of two fifteen year old kids (a boy and a girl), who switch bodies, and then learn about themselves, life, and love.
I have not seen the film, but it sounds very good, and had good reviews. (Note: teenager in hospital.....we know where this is going to lead....

)
