Young and beautiful talent Natsumi Elena (14) has been appointed as the first supporter girl for the "Senko Riot 2009" teenage lock festival that will happen at Tokyo Big Sight on August 8. That rock festival is powered by Tokyo FM's SCHOOL OF LOCK! and features several teenage rock bands that made it through nationwide preliminaries. Last year's festival was a huge success and so they decided to repeat it this year again and this time even with the help of an image girl.

Right now Natsumi herself is an exclusive model for the popular magazine "Hana★chu→" and also already had several appearances in doramas and commercials. She can definitely be described as one of the very promising young actresses in the industry.

Her appointment as the image girl for a rock festival didn't just happen by chance. Natsumi is really big rock fan and even already appeared in a rock commercial. She seems very mature, even though she's still just a junior high school student. When she has some time off from work, she often goes to summer festival or other typical places to listen to some live music. Her love and knowledge about music reaches from major to independent artists and she really doesn't have to hide from people who work in the music industry. Moreover she even has experience with playing the guitar, the bass and the drums. Natsumi simply is a little "Lock Girl"!

"I'm really happy to be able to participate in Senko Riot! I'll put in all my energy!" She's going to appear on posters that will be hung up in schools and metro stations all over the country and also make PR for it in magazines and so on. "While talking with everyone about the festival, my job will be to enthusiastically showcase the power of the teenage generation."

Actresses Nagasawa Masami (21), Eikura Nana (21) and Natsumi Elena (14) attended a Mother's Day event for Lotte's "Ghana Milk Chocolate".

All 3 of them appear in the Mother's Day edition of the brand's commercial and visited the Suginami Touyou Kindergarten in Tokyo as part of Lotte's promotion campaign. There they all had the chance to look back at their own kindergarten time and had a lot of fun talking about their early childhood.

"I liked to do the errands my mothers asked me to." (Nagasawa) - "I was a droll child and always made people laugh with my strange faces." (Eikura) - "I've been a crybaby and always clung to my mother in tears. I've been a real mother child." (Natsumi)

As 'Thank You Deliverers' they assisted the children in the kindergarten with drawing a portrait of their mothers. "I really enjoyed it, because they put so much individuality into their pictures", Eikura praised the children. Nagasawa also only had kind words for the children. "They have all been so good at drawing, it was difficult to give them advices in the first place."

Nagasawa further revealed that she has been quite an active young girl back then. "I liked unicycles a lot. The most fun was to play outside together with others." Mother's Day will be on the 10th this month, but Nagasawa already gave the present to her mother. "I won't be able to come home that day, so I already went home during Golden Week and gave her a body cream with her favorite odor as present."

The whole event will get broadcasted on Tokyo FM one day before Mother's Day in the show called 'Music Apartment'.
