So, does the author look familiar?! ~Yup...Mr. Alex Shearer is the author of Juri's favorite book, "The Great Blue Yonder". They first met when Juri visited England two years ago for NHK's "Kagayaku Onna". Since then, they have been contacting through emails. On that day, Juri was said to have received Mr. Alex's mail too, hoping that Juri will have more and more fans/supporters (from Cinema Magazine). Juri said she has received a present from Mr. Alex. She said, "I thought it would be reversed chocolate*, but it was actually a small picture frame (laughed). I'll surely put my picture taken with Mr. Alex in it." (from Journal Mycom).
*reversed chocolate = Gyaku Choco (逆チョコ). The idea of guys giving chocolates to girls on Valentine's day in Japan, promoted by Morinaga. (More here)
