She then branched off into acting landing small roles in television dramas, with the 2003 Fuji TV drama "The Way I Live" (Boku no Ikiru Michi) making a positive impression on the public. Her career then went into overdrive with her popular performance as Hirose Aki in the 2004 TBS television drama "Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World". Haruka beat out 723 contestants for the role of Hirose Aki in "Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World".
