[Uesaka Juri]”Don’t forget to be grateful” after taking first place in the Next Breakout Actress Ranking[Model Press National Favorite Ranking]

Actor Juri Uesaka ranked first in the “Model Press National Favorite Ranking” survey of the next breakout actresses for summer 2024 dramas conducted by women’s entertainment and lifestyle news site “Model Press” and announced on the 13th.

This survey was conducted as a reader survey on the theme, “Who do you think will be the next breakout actress and actor?” A wide range of generations, from teenagers to those in their 60s, voted to announce the top 10 actresses who will be the next breakout actresses in the summer of 2024 dramas.

While working as an exclusive model for the magazine “Seventeen,” Uesaka will also play the heroine in “The Menstrual Man and His Daughter” (NHK special drama), as well as appear in “My Neighbor’s Nurse Aid” (January 2024 season/Nippon TV) and “My Favorite Flower” (October 2023 season/Fuji TV).
Yesterday, the final episode of “Billion x School” (July 2024 / Fuji TV) aired, marking his first regular appearance in a TV drama series, and his convincing acting became a hot topic.

In this survey, Uesaka’s performance as Umeno Himeka, a student in Class Zero, in “Billion x School” was highly praised. In this comedy-style work, she plays a quiet character who is not good at asserting herself, and her growth despite being the target of bullying touched the hearts of viewers, and her tearful acting also received praise.

Comments from readers published in this survey included rave reviews of Uesaka’s acting, such as, “Her acting in the crying scene was excellent, and the audience was drawn in by the emotion,” “Her acting was just too good,” and “Her acting was straightforward, it didn’t feel contrived, it was natural.”

In response to the results of the survey, Uesaka commented joyfully, “Thank you for choosing me as number one in the ranking of the Next Breakout Actresses of Summer 2024! I learned and absorbed so much through Billion x School, and my feelings about acting have grown so much. I’m really glad I was able to play the role of Umeno Himeka.”
She also revealed her enthusiasm for her future activities, saying, “I will never forget my gratitude, and I will do my best to make my acting available to even more people!”

Expectations are already high for what Uesaka will accomplish in the future.
