Yui Aragaki (新垣 結衣 Aragaki Yui?, born June 11, 1988) is a Japanese actress, model, singer and occasional radio show host.

She is particularly recognized for her beauty[1] and her movie projects.[2]

Career

Aragaki won the Film prize at the 45th Golden Arrow Awards in 2008.[3] Her tremendous number of movie shoots as well as the preparation for her debut album resulted in her suffering from work-related stress[4][5] in 2007.

Outside acting she also released her first album, Sora, and the single "Heavenly Days", a song from Koizora. "Memories", the theme song for Tokyo Serendipity, was included in her debut album. She also performed at Budokan.[6]

She was also the co-hosts for popular radio program Girls Locks in 2010-2012.[7]
