Ashida attended a school affiliated with the university and achieved excellent grades, so she will enter the highly popular law school internally. From now on, she will be working extensively under the two titles of student at a prestigious university and actress.

Ms. Ashida passed the entrance exam for junior high school at several difficult schools, but chose to attend a prestigious affiliated school because of its school culture, which made it easier for her to balance her performing career. She loves books and has been reading about 300 books a year in a wide range of genres since junior high school.

Driving a bright red Mercedes Benz to and from the radio station

It was in February 2012 that we discovered the scene of Manabe’s passionate love affair with a graduate of Yokohama National University’s Faculty of Education and Human Sciences.

Manabe came out of an apartment in Tokyo and got into a bright red Mercedes Benz. At the wheel was Kazuya Yoshii, the vocalist of “THE YELLOW MONKEY,” with whom she was in a relationship.

Mr. Manabe had been an avowed fan of “Yemon” since that time. On her Twitter page, she wrote: “Mr. Yoshii said, ‘Let’s get married, but no sex! But no sex! What if he says, ‘Let’s get married! ‘Ahhhh, but I’ll marry him! I just had this conversation with a friend last week.

(An employee of a major record company). The Mercedes carrying the two went to a radio station in Tokyo. The station was broadcasting a live program in which Manabe appeared regularly. Yoshii was indeed a gentleman to drive her to her place of work. After the program ended, Manabe took a cab back to Yoshii’s waiting apartment.

Mr. Manabe announced his marriage to Ms. Yoshii in June 2003. They have a baby girl and are currently living happily together. She is a graduate of Yokohama National University and is actively involved in activities to eradicate child abuse and to separate married couples’ surnames.

These talented actresses have made the step up from prestigious universities. It seems likely that they will continue to use their education and knowledge to expand their fields of activity.
