Actress Megumi Okuna (43) will appear in a film directed by Shunji Iwai for the first time in 28 years.

Okuna, who plays the mother of Suzu Hirose (25) in Iwai’s original film “Kirie’s Song,” attended a completion report event held in Tokyo on July 13,

I am very happy to have been able to work with Director Iwai after a long time and to be a part of this film,” Okuna said.

I am very happy to be a part of this film,” she said. Director Iwai told her about the casting, “Okuna and Hirose look so much alike that I feel they have a DNA connection,

I am happy! But I’ve only been told once that I look like Suzu Hirose!

She was very excited.

Okuna’s debut was in 1992. She first appeared in the TV drama “Pate*o” (Fuji Television) under the name “Okuna Megumi,” which became her stage name because it was so unusual. In 1993, she appeared in one episode of “If If” (Fuji TV), a drama that became Iwai’s breakout role, in “Hachibanashi, shita kara mieruka? Do you want to see it from the side? (Fuji TV), and also appeared in the same role in the film version in 1995, attracting a great deal of attention.

In the 1990s, when idol singers were considered unfavorable, Okuna’s appearance as a “beautiful girl” led to the creation of the term “idol actress. She played the heroine in the popular drama “Wakaba no Koro” (TBS), starring two members of the popular Japanese idol group “KinKi Kids,” and her acting ability was highly acclaimed. She was also highly praised for her acting ability.

FRIDAY” has been paying attention to Okuna since immediately after her debut. Her date with President Susumu Fujita, her smiling face as a commercial beauty, her cohabitation with Ryo Kimura…. We would like to introduce her beautiful true face, which has not changed since her “beautiful girl” days, through treasured photos.

Handmade “Beef Sueji Stew” for a man with annual sales of 6 billion yen

It was a night in October 2002 when I found Okuna at a supermarket in Azabu Juban (Minato-ku, Tokyo). President Fujita, dressed in a rough formal jacket, was by Okuna’s side. Two years earlier, President Fujita had been listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers and was considered a darling of the IT world, boasting annual sales of 6 billion yen. Okuna, with a large memo in her hand,

“Um, do you have any beef tendon?

but it seemed that they were out of stock. She then went to two more supermarkets and entered the huge apartment building where President Fujita lives. Ten days later, Okuna appeared on a talk show at Aoyama Gakuin University’s “Aoyama Festival. The moderator asked her what she was good at cooking,

She replied, “It’s beef stew…. I don’t cook it when I’m alone.

She made such a suggestive statement. A year and three months later, the couple married, and Okuna was said to be “the biggest ball-buster in the history of show business,” but the couple divorced after only a year and a half. In 2009, she remarried and had two children with an ordinary man, but they divorced in 2003. In 2004, she married for the third time to actor Ryo Kimura (34).

She and Kimura, who is nine years younger than her, have a good marriage, and they even co-star on Okuna’s YouTube channel. Recently, she has been appearing on variety shows, showing a new side to her, and expectations are high for the “old and new beauties” to appear together in Iwai’s first film in 28 years.
