After debuting in 1996 when she was only 13.5 years old through Speed, she as well as the group members quickly rose to fame and helped spark the Japan girl idol group boom.

After Speed disbanded in 2000, she later debuted as a solo singer commenced acting activities as well. In 2005, she acted alongside the Hallyu star Ryu Shi Won in a drama special called Much Ado About Love. Speed reunited as a group in 2008 and is currently still active, having released a single this past April.

Uehara Takako plays the role of Japanese best artist, Keiko and shares an affectionate love with Ji Woo (Rain’s character). This will be a love triangle; Lee Na Young and Uehara Takako fighting for the love of one man, Rain.

The famous actor, comedian and director Naoto Takenaka will also star in 도망자 and will play the role of Keiko’s father, Hiroki, in the drama. He has already made numerous appearances in the Korean entertainment industry, being an actor representing Japan, as he starred in 100 movies and 10 dramas, such as 700 Days of Battle: Us VS. The Police, Shall We Dance, Water Boys, and This Sunday.
This highly anticipated drama will air towards the end of this year and will be about the events that unfold after sudden reappearance of an astronomical and uncountable amount of money that was long lost after the Korean War.


Oh my God~
I can't believe it. SPEED IS HERE! YEAH!
I have being waiting for ages for SPEED to enter KPOP industries. Its like forever. I mean forever. Until now, I still in disbelieving they are here. Honestly, they are really farmous in JPOP. I am not kidding over here. They had being the legendary "Girls Band". But now you can only watch them through their "LIVE CONCERTS". They always use their real voice to sing in all concerts. They are still very energy ever now. I LOVE SPEED. Since 1998, SPEED has given me the energy that I needed. Their songs are always full of soul and power that makes you feel "ALIVE". After they disband, I was so shocked and after a few months my llife was missing of something. Following down the years, life wasn't the same. There wasn't any song or girls bands or artists to replace them, except for BIG BAND (I still like them. They are digital guys). Searching and waitiing for surch a wonderful band is so hard. I must tell you, I have not bought CDs since then.
Here is a PV of SPEED "Body and Soul  speacial " ENOUGH~

and their lastest  single, "Himawari ~Growing Sunflower~" PV I just Love their Smiles
