On September 28th, actress Sawajiri Erika attended a PR event for the hair care brand "syoss" to introduce their newest product and her new commercial.

The concept of "syoss" is to offer hair care products that have the same quality as the products you can only find at professional hair salons.

Sawajiri commented about their products, "To me all their products seem to be very professional. I love that, because I want to have a sense of beauty all the time as a woman."

Speaking of which, Sawajiri also revealed her own sense of professionalism and said, "I think it's very important to have a clear on-off switch between work and your private life, as well as when you are moving on to your next project. I'm someone who can only concentrate on one thing, once I've completely gotten into one role. I don't think it would that simple to play two more roles around the same time."

Of course, reporters also asked her about her stalled divorce from media-creator Takashiro Tsuyoshi, but she remained silent on this topic. It's known that her 'business partnership' with avex Entertainment pretty much depends on her divorce, therefore it's difficult to tell when she is finally going to have her comeback. avex also only had to offer a short comment regarding her divorce, "There is no progress."

At least she is still aiming to become an actress again and commented full of enthusiasm, "I'd like to carry on with a clear focus on my acting, but also try out a wide ranger of other activities."

Sawajiri's first new commercial for "syoss" will start airing on October 21st, while a second is going to follow on November 11th.
