Nanami Sakuraba (21) and all the other members of girls unit bump.y are scheduled to "graduate" from the group at the end of June to all focus on their acting career.

The official website reads: "Thank you all for supporting bump.y since its inception in 2009. Please keep on cheering for and supporting the members so that all of them will become splendid actresses and flourish in their respective careers.".

Sara Takatsuki is a member of the 5-member group "bump.y" and is in the drama Toshi Densetsu no Onna 2 (Fridays 11:15PM, TV Asahi). The 16-year old Takatsuki was born in 1997 and is touted as the "next big thing". She was scouted by the agency Sweet Power, home of Maki Horikita and Mirei Kiritani, in 2008 and made her acting debut in September of the same year in the Internet drama TSC Tokyo Girl.

In 2009, Takatsuki played a boy's role in the drama Otomen, where she portrayed the child version of Masaki Okada's character. The following year, she made her debut as an artist with the group bump.y, together with Nanami Sakuraba. She also played a student in the 2012 drama GTO, which made headlines by gathering popular actresses such as Haruna Kawaguchi, Mariya Nishiuchi, Tsubasa Honda, and others. She has gradually increased her reportoire with the help of her mature looks and gorgeous face.

And to prove this, she actually plays the role of a 23-year-old in Toshi Densetsu no Onna 2 named Ayano, a detective who deeply idolizes Masami Nagasawa's character Tsukiko Otonashi.

As soon as the drama started, people on the Internet have been saying that she looks like Masami Nagasawa. There are even comments on her blog like, "I think you look like Masami Nagasawa, what do you think about that?", and "I'm so surprised! There's a super cute girl like this who looks like Masami Nagasawa!".
