Erika Sawajiri returns to Japan
Actress Erika Sawajiri (沢尻エリカ),24, is back in Japan, having quietly returned from Spain on January 12 night. She was hounded by reporters outside her home, though she remained silent to all questions.
On January 20, 2009, Sawajiri married media creator Tsuyoshi Takashiro (高城剛)at Meiji Shrine in Yoyogi. The pair registered their marriage on January 7, which fell on the most auspicious of the days according to the six-day rokuyo calendar, and they held a small reception for close friends and family in Hawaii later that month.
Sawajiri’s last appearance before the press was on September 5 in 2010. She was scheduled to appear at an event on September 21, but she suddenly canceled the day before and went missing, triggering various rumors. It was learned that she later went back to Spain, where her current management office is based. It is also believed that she is again living there with her husband Takashiro, even though it previously appeared that they would likely divorce.
According to Sports Hochi, Sawajiri met yesterday with a representative for the Takano Yuri Beauty Clinic, which Sawajiri had been doing commercials for. The company is holding a big event on January 23, and it is expected that the actress will be in attendance. If she does indeed hold a press conference there, she will likely comment on the status of her marriage with Takashiro.
Sawajiri was originally scheduled to star in the live action film version of Space Battleship Yamato but was replaced by Meisa Kuroki.
