TOKYO —

Actress Masami Nagasawa, 20, and Juri Ueno, 21, will tackle the serious topic of domestic violence in the new TV drama series, “Last Friends.” Nagasawa will play the role of an assistant hair dresser who suffers domestic violence at the hands of her boyfriend. She said, “Since I have never experienced domestic violence, everything was very shocking to me during the production.”

Ueno, who plays the role of Nagasawa’s flatmate, appears with short hair for the drama. “I wanted to have short hair for a long time because it’s much easier to maintain. I think the drama is a good opportunity to do it, otherwise I wouldn’t have cut it.”

The drama will air from April 10 on Fuji Television network.

  Masami, 20, I would never do that to you. Just leave your husband and we will live on some dirty beach together. But what's with you looking like you're 25 already? Get some beauty sleep. Aya Ueto, (insert age because that's normal in this country), gets hers and look at her - still the little darling despite being the queen for what seems like an eternity.

  Just her boyfriend? Let's go already. I know some polluted beaches we can go to and you can act crazy and talk to your beverage, just like on your latest CM. But that's how the salaryman likes it, doesn't he? Childish and ridiculous. Just get some sleep first.

  Ueno doesn't look good at all with this hair style. I was shocked. She's pretty in late dramas.
