Later on Nakamura became an actress under the name Yuri Nakamura and acted often in films, television dramas and music videos.

In 2007, she appeared in Break Through!'s sequel Pacchigi! Love & Peace as Kyonja;[1] her performance in such became one of her more popular roles. In October 2008 Nakamura appeared in the company play 1945, which also contributed heavily to her popularity.
