What people said
Is it not considered bad manners to put your elbows on the table in Singapore?
The ones who keep basking in attention forever tend to have a rough time in their later years…
An actress's shelf life is short.
Grabbing a rich guy and getting out while you can is the winning move.
Sticking around desperate for work forever doesn't lead anywhere good.

Looking at it now, she really had that 'actress' aura.
Not just her face, but overall.
Why doesn't she appear in anything anymore?
Who even plays pachinko these days?
It's been a full cycle since the era when they'd run a TV commercial every time Umi Monogatari released a new machine.
Especially for their kids' education.
It's probably tax-related.
Actually, the inflow of wealthy people is increasing too.
Mostly Chinese nationals, though.
Back in the day they'd swap out 200,000 units for a single model, but now 30,000 units is considered a big deal lol.
Apparently parlors are closing left and right, so the machines aren't selling.

Misaki Ito commercial: Choya Umeshu (2003)

They just aired Agnes Lum's Umi Monogatari commercial earlier.
So when I saw her as Hermes in Densha Otoko, I remember being shocked.
Completely opposite roles.
People call her a bad actress, but that just shows she's a real actress.
Background and Key Points of This Topic
Misaki Ito is an actress who gained popularity for playing the role of Hermes in the 2003 drama “Densha Otoko,” and in recent years has largely stayed out of the public eye. Singapore has no inheritance tax or capital gains tax and has often been in the news as a destination for wealthy Japanese relocating abroad — commenters on the thread framed Ito’s move as part of that same trend. That said, the original article did not disclose the name of her husband’s company; any company names mentioned in the replies are purely speculation from 5ch users and have not been confirmed as fact. Reactions to her appearance ranged from praise to harsh criticism, highlighting differing attitudes toward aging, while the discussion also expanded into economic topics like the shrinking pachinko market and the flow of wealthy individuals in and out of Japan.
