She was super talented but that one mood swing she had totally ruined her for life. The weird thing is her staff around always liked her. This is so different from korea where an actress can ace it infront of the cameras but have mood swings to staff and even bully ppl around her AND threaten and manipulate her bf and be abusive and still one of the most loved actresses (I'm talking about the actress who got her bf to be weird to Seohyun)

When you learned about her life, it's a little wonder that she ended up like this. She was so young when her father ran away and then died, she had to work in one of the dirtiest industry and again lost another member of her family. Seeing how successful she was at such a young age, I wouldn't be surprised if even the rest of her family and closest friends started to treat her like a cash cow or straight up using her for fame. That's why I'm against young people working in entertainment, especially those without good parents/ guardians.

Cna we talk about how she keeps getting lead roles after every bad scandal, for such challenging roles at that. It says a lot about her talent.

In my opinion, she is the most beautiful actress I've ever seen. Her facial structure and features were just perfect!

[@ZhenWangLei]

I miss her she's a great actress

[@user-rq8pe7vw8t]

She's really pretty. And she's a talented actress. She can sing and act. Sad that she messed up. But hopefully she can come back

[@vivianidelacerda9708]

He must have liked her a lot to agree to those contractual conditions... Never seen anything like that before ... But it was her life... Why are people so upset about that?

She was incredible in 1 Litre of Tears and Closed Note - a vastly underrated, beautiful film that was overshadowed by “betsuni”

I remember her scandals from the 2000s and 2010s. She was wild.

[@Scweetoof]

I feel for her. It seems like she felt smothered by her fame and the strictness of the Japanese entertainment industry. I’m sure the stress of loosing her father & brother, and then entering into the predatory entertainment system at such a young g age, tied into the usage of substances. Celebrities should be allowed to express their boundaries and hard comings without backlash.

Erika’s been through a lot. She had to deal with two major losses (Her Dad and her brother) at such a young age and was forced to grow up quickly and was also catapulted into the harsh world of the industry. She didn’t even have time to recover or cope with her unresolved trauma; which is why it seems she struggled with her moods and drug abuse.

1 liter of Tears is one of the best dramas ever (it'sa masterpiece even by today'sstandards). I cried buckets of tears for days because of that drama. Even after finishing every episode.

[@EVL-xj5vc]

She is very beautiful and talented. But it seems like she is emotionally unstable. I hope it will just get better from here on for her.

[@k-popjjangtv]

My first love actress in j-drama 🥹🥹🥹 I missed you Erika❣️

[@VandNana]

She was an incredibly talented actress. Actresses in Japan are held to such high standards, such a small thing such as acting a little uninterested can ruin someone’s life. She went through a lot, any sane person would make mistakes too. Male actors can get away with anything while women are held to the highest standards that are almost impossible to meet and get punished for everything.

[@almas4254]

I always thought she was the Japanese "Lindsay Lohan"

[@beepgg6450]

Ahh I remember watching “One litre of tears” …. I think that’s the only Japanese movie I remember watching … she was looking pretttyyyyyy

[@Skbeuker]

I saw her on 1 liter of tears and it was so good.

[@chriztianhusher8401]

Holy sh!t, i always wondered what happened to her. I remember her from 99 litre of tears and loved her acting but disappointing to hear the aftermath of her career, wished her the best of luck in her life

[@coquette3279]

She is so preeeeetttty.
