Horikita Maki worries about having an “evil woman” image because her movie

tokyohive has been following the progress of the upcoming movieByakuyako“, a psychological thriller starring Horikita Maki and Kora Kengo. On January 5th, both Horikita and Kora appeared for a PR event at Haneda Airport to build anticipation for the film. Since Horikita will take on the challenging role of an evil, manipulative woman for the first time, she confessed at the event, “I’m worried that people may think that ‘She seems scary even when she smiles’.”

Horikita also revealed, “Even though Yukiho (Horikita’s role) is described as an evil woman, there are practically no scenes which show Yukiho’s villainy.  She is more of a lady who obtains her ambitions and desires by controlling other people.  Therefore, it was difficult to figure out how I would trick the audience while showing her depravity.”

Kora, who will play Yukiho’s supportive childhood friend, also confessed that acting to deceive people was a difficult part of the craft.

“Byakuyako” will be released on January 26th.

    she should not be worried about that. i think the response of people about her will be positive because her role is really challenging. its more of praising her than being scared of her.

  • maniamanie

    Aww…don’t worry, Maki! So far, I read good reviews from the preview that people went to =D But I understand how she worry that some people has a hard time from separating a character from the actress. If they do, that means her acting has been very convincing!

    And hope you get well soon, Maki!

  • magicalbanana

    I hope she realizes her fans are not stupid.. we know you were acting sweety =_= and actually, from the previews and news so far about the movie, the image seems to be more of a mysterious, secretive nature rather than a strictly evil one.

  • maniamanie

    Actually, there’s people that doesn’t care if an actress is acting and hate on them for playing that character @@ It’s crazy but that’s how some people gets…
