The cynics are here again, happy upon finding another Erika Sawajiri article.

Kokuryu:
A great majority of commenters here in JapanToday are not Japanese at all.
Most of the people here are disillusioned and cynical foreigners who are extremely talented in pointing out everything that they think is wrong with Japan, the Japanese people, and everything else that has to do with Japan.
-Please note as well that the article does not target Nakama as the reason for the show's low ratings; it instead states that despite her popularity among the Japanese public, the show has poor viewership due to, as you mentioned, poor script.
(Nakama memorizes the entire script--that is something professional theater actors learn and do as a habit.)
It's a global trend, this dearth of good scriptwriters.

Finally, a glaring lack of cynics. Okinawan, for the Nth time... Yukie Nakama, Namie Amuro, Takako Uehara, Meisa Kuroki... I hope all of Japan was Okinawa, hehe.

I'm pretty sure she knows the ratings are low by now.
Perhaps she just doesn't want to get affected; if the show's crappy then people won't watch it no matter how popular the actor is, unless the target audience are groupies.

IchyaWarFare:
If you hate cute primadonna girls that can act, then it's your call.
However, don't judge her (or anyone's, for that matter) ability if you haven't seen any of her works. I dare you watch "1 Liter of Tears" to the very end, and then declare without one iota of doubt that Erika Sawajiri is a worthless actress, then I'll leave you be.
I hate Sawajiri's behavior probably as much as you do, but I recognize talent when I see it.
All that brat needs is a little growing up; it'll also do you some good.

Yes, Obama should visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for the sake of closure and the Nobel Peace Prize.

wibble: that's exactly my point--2 years is a very good run for this Kindle, after which I'm sure they'd have laughed all the way to the bank.
I really, really hope they'd make it more affordable, or a more affordable version... perhaps lose some minor functionalities, but at least put it within mass-market reach.
