A new blog from Eriko seems to have appeared on her site. However google translator sucks! Hopefully one of you guys can translate it (without using internet translators please) so I can post it here.
IMDB’s Sour Mikan has a decent translation:
The filming was wrapped! finally..finally !!! The last shooting was the scene of I and James, it took till night, the moment when it finished, Paul shouted ”Eriko’s wrapped!” I was filled with emotion. Jim said happily, ”We did it!!” staring my eyes, we hugged one another and shared our joy. and Rod stood by us, at the moment, I felt we could relate to one another without words. After talking with Tim a few words, there became to like a photo session, crews and Mexican workers took a lot of photos with us. all ended, I came back to the trailer with my friends coming from LA. I signed my autograph to various thing, and we got into a brought car, we left the set. After we came back to the hotel, I and my friends went to Jim’s home, there happened to be Rob who is cinematographer and Paul and Jim, they partied only male, we joined them and drunk a little, and we talked genuinely about the past days of Durango and we had a very happy time.
and we came back to the hotel again, I packed up in a hurry. baggage for two months are so much but I didn’t no time to rest, soon I got into a brought car and went to the Durango airport and came back with Jim and Rod by the same airplane.
I learned a lot of thing. Until now I experienced various movies and TV in Japan. but It’s my first time to work in American studio’s movie. the long shooting for two and half months and the location place couldn’t understood English, at first I feared I couldn’t know what to do and felt close to tears.
But when the shooting wrapped, its fulfillment and accomplishment and quality time we spent together was forgotten all hard time and I felt only delightful and happy feeling. I understood how hard time or role, I can do it with thinking it will end some day. I did various work in Japan, I intended to know it, but there was no one who Japanese, different language, I experienced alone and all thing was new to me , I felt various thing like a first thing like a baby.
I’m sorry for delay to update this blog, I wrote this soon when it ended, but after I came back to LA, there was still so much left to do. and during I did it, I forgot the login name and password so I couldn’t login…

I also thought it might be interesting to have a banner contest. You guys have created such amazing fan art (please send more!) that I thought I should put those skills to the test. Create a new 600×150 banner for this very site and e-mail it to me.. then I’ll post a select few (my favorite 3-4) and we’ll have a little vote. I think it could be fun, and will certainly pass the time here.
