Some Background:
Ueno Juri (Kanji: 上野樹里) reunited with Nodame co-stars Eita (Kanji: 栄太; Chinese: 瑛太) and Asami Mizukawa (Kanji: 水川 あさみ), in Fuji TV's drama "Last Friends" as Ruka Kishimoto, a talented motocross racer with a hidden secret she cannot discuss with friends or family.
Taeko Asano (Kanji: 浅野妙子), the scriptwriter of Last Friends praised Ueno's acting of Ruka, stating that Ueno is a "natural genius" and that she became "the character itself". Ueno won "Best Supporting Actress" at the 12th Nikkan Sports Drama Grand Prix and The 57th Television Drama Academy Awards for her role.
I too was very impressed with Ueno's acting in this drama but why was she only a supporting actress? She seems more like the lead actress, totally outshined Nagasawa Masami (Japanese: 長澤まさみ; Hiragana: ながさわ まさみ; Chinese: 長澤正美).
