Kikukawa Rei (photo, 25), a graduate of the prestigious Tokyo University, has advised actress Hirosue Ryoko (23) to stick with her studies. Hirosue ruffled a few feathers by using her fame to get into the almost as prestigious Waseda University in 1999. She made things worse by skipping classes to pursue her modelling and acting career. She finally dropped out this month. Kikukawa started her showbiz career while a junior at Todai and has since gone on to become one of the country’s most popular young stars and the reigning CM queen.
