<p> In late June, actress Hikaru Takahashi (21) was spotted on the banks of the Tama River filming &#8220;Halation Love&#8221; (TV Asahi), a drama series in which she will star that will air from August.</p>
<p><strong> She was filming a scene in which she is riding a bicycle along the riverbed. It was a very hot day, but she was smiling as she filmed.</strong></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Takahashi started her career in show business after winning the grand prix in the &#8220;14th All Japan National Beauty Contest&#8221; in 2002. She won an audition of 200 people for the role of &#8220;Takase,&#8221; an adopted daughter of the Iyi family, in the historical drama &#8220;Onna Jôshu Naotora&#8221; (NHK).</p>
<p><strong> Takahashi was cast in &#8220;School Revolution! (NTV), which led to increased exposure in variety shows. Her snappy Kansai accent on Japanese idols is a big hit, and if there is any doubt about casting, Takahashi&#8217;s name comes up. It is said that he was nominated by Johnny&#8217;s to be the heroine in the movie &#8220;Osomatsu-san,&#8221; starring &#8220;Snow Man.</strong></p>
<p> In Takahashi&#8217;s age group, there are strong rivals in the &#8220;black-haired long purist&#8221; category, such as Kaya Kiyohara (21) and Nana Mori (21).</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><strong> Takahashi has no major works to her credit, but she has her own unique strengths, such as her fast-talking machine-gun talk and her preoccupation with muscles. In addition, she is unparalleled among young actresses in that she can do both drama and variety.</strong></p>
<p> With her dual roles in both acting and variety shows, she is likely to continue on the path of the new &#8220;purist.</p>
