Um, a stupid hot Japanese actress who speaks fluent French and has made Paris her home, yes, we'll gladly take two of Eriko Takeda! Eriko moved to Paris a while back and has been making quite the name for herself on the big and small screen alike in The City of Lights. She got her first big break back in the early 2000s with turns in a couple of feature films, Panorama (2007) and Eden Log (2007), but she broke out just a couple short years later on the comedy series Venus and Apollo. After that she started to get the pick of whatever gigs she wanted in the world of French film and TV series, working opposite of such massive French names like Gérard Depardieu and Dominique Pinon. This Japanese gem of a beauty comes our way though with a smaller part in the Michel Gondry written and directed indie flick Microbe and Gasoline (2015). The film follows two teenage misfits from Versailles who decide to spend their summer running away from home on a road trip in a makeshift jalopy that looks like a garden shed. At one point, they end up in a massage parlor run by some low level gangsters when Eriko and another beautiful lady come out from behind the curtain wearing just bras, and offer haircuts and handjobs to the young men. We're not saying we'd plunk down hard earned cash at a massage parlor for a good "old-fashioned" necessarily, but if the ladies look like Eriko Takeda, we'd be inclined to at least ask "how much?" You know, just so we know if we need to hit an ATM or something...
