Mizuki Yamashita Shines in Her First Mystery Drama
Mizuki Yamashita, a former member of the popular group Nogizaka46,
has taken a bold step into her new acting career.
Following her graduation in May of this year,
she is currently captivating audiences as the dedicated magazine reporter, Moritoko,
in her debut drama titled Furuzumorikoto Kunishinio,
airing weekly on Sundays at 10.30 am-pm on Yomiuri TV slash Nippon TV.
This mystery drama has already started to gather a strong viewer response as the plot unfolds.
The drama is based on a manga serial that originally ran in Kodachi's magazine pocket,
and it interweaves original elements with the unfinished story.
The narrative kicks off with a chilling discovery at the abandoned Hayakawa Mansion,
where the skeletal remains of 13 children are found.
As the story progresses, Detective Seiki Jin, played by Ryo Narita,
teams up with the mysterious woman, Hasumi Kanon, portrayed by Ayoshi Kawa,

The show raises questions about the connections between the mansion, the children,
and the dark events from seven years ago, intertwined with a new case involving a missing girl.
Yamashita expressed her initial uncertainty about stepping into this unfamiliar role
but emphasized the importance of representing Mori's serious commitment to solving the case
while engaging the audience with the intersecting mysteries.
She shared her excitement that her mother, a long-time fan of the original manga,
encouraged her to take on the role after the announcement of her casting.

added to Yamashita's sense of relief and accomplishment.

Nailing the Perfect Black Look with Hair Tips
When you wear your favorite black outfit, the ultimate finishing touch is often your hair.
A few adjustments can help you ditch the typical heavy vibes
and combat the overly bold look that sometimes comes with it.
15:03
Here are some hair techniques to elevate your style.
First, consider lightening the look with elements like sheer bangs or by exposing your ears,
thus avoiding a heavy appearance.
For a sleek black outfit, start with straight hair for a clean effect, but avoid looking too flat.
Adding sheer bangs or tucking behind your ears not only lightens the look
but also frames your face nicely, striking a good balance.
Next, adding subtle hair accessories can really enhance your style without being over the top.
It's all about that understated elegance.
Instead of going bold, opt for simple pieces that catch the eye without being too flashy.
Think simple metallic accents that add a touch of sophistication
and can easily be secured without fuss.
For those with longer hair, gathering your locks at a higher position
can provide an effortlessly chic vibe, making your look appear fresh and engaging.
This technique particularly helps when you're in solid black outfits that can sometimes feel heavy.
Leaving a few strands out can soften the look,
making a beautiful pairing with more prominent hair accessories like ribbons.
With these tips, achieving an effortlessly stylish black ensemble becomes a breeze.
