<p>Takei Emi (30) appeared in a drama for the first time in three years. She starred alongside Goto Kumiko (49), who returned to TV dramas for the first time in 30 years, and her beauty and matured performance made it seem as if three years had passed since she last appeared in a drama.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In 2006, when she was in her first year of junior high school, she won the modeling and multimedia awards at the &#8220;National Beauty Contest&#8221; and entered the entertainment industry. In 2008, she made her acting debut in the movie &#8220;The Cherry Orchard. The following year, upon entering high school, she moved to Tokyo and became active in various fields, and was called &#8220;the busiest high school girl in Japan.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In September 2005, she married TAKAHIRO (39) of EXILE, and at the young age of 23, she retired from the front lines. She has two daughters and will gradually increase her acting career at the age of 30,&#8221; said a source at an entertainment agency.</span></p>
<p>FRIDAY&#8221; has been paying attention to Takei since her debut. FRIDAY&#8221; paid attention to Takei from the time of her debut: on location for a drama in which she co-starred with Haruma Miura, crying when Yoko Nogi complimented her, wearing moe glasses at the launch of the movie &#8220;Rurouni Kenshin,&#8221; etc. In its &#8220;FRIDAY&#8221; feature, Takei&#8217;s secret photos are shown. Please take a look at Takei&#8217;s refreshing appearance in these treasured photos.</p>
<h3>On location at a hamburger store with Haruma Miura</h3>
<p>We came across an unexpected scene in front of a hamburger store in Tokyo. At the counter of the store was Emi Takei, who is said to be &#8220;the busiest high school girl in Japan. In front of her was Haruma Miura.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> This is the location for Fuji Television&#8217;s monthly drama series &#8220;All the Important Things You Taught Me&#8221;. Takei plays a high school girl who has a relationship with Miura, who plays her homeroom teacher. She won the role after winning an audition of about 800 people.</span></p>
<p>The director was also present to guide Takei, who had little acting experience, through her performance. Miura, perhaps out of concern for Takei, was seen talking to her and helping her to relax.</p>
<p>In an interview with the information site &#8220;Mainichi Kirei (Everyday Beauty)&#8221; published on January 1, Takei talked about turning 30 years old,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I want to do things my own way. I think that having a private life keeps me mentally strong, and the presence of my children and husband makes me stronger.</span></p>
<p>As for her work, she said, &#8220;I want to think flexibly,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I want to be flexible. I am conflicted about how to balance both, so it&#8217;s hard to say, but I do enjoy working, so if I have the chance, I would definitely like to do it.</span></p>
<p>I would love to do it if I have the chance. We look forward to seeing Takei&#8217;s performance as the &#8220;beautiful mother.</p>
