Late-Night Surprise: Strongest Sisters Mone and Moka Kamishiraishi Capture Rare Duo Shot in Unexpected Location
The two are very busy with movies and TV dramas, and took a walk while pushing their bicycles. A rare shot of the two of them together.
On the eve of Valentine’s Day, which was unseasonably warm, this popular spot in Tokyo was still bustling with inbound tourists and drunken revelers.
One of the characteristics of this town is that there are famous restaurants frequented by celebrities in the back alleys – and from one of these popular yakiniku restaurants, a woman emerged, perfectly concealing all parts of her body except for her eyes with a hat and mask.
While the “heavily disguised woman” was unlocking a bicycle parked in front of the restaurant, a petite woman with only her eyes showing appeared from inside the restaurant. She was looking around like a little bird, scurrying and scurrying.
Both of us could only see her eyes, but ironically, they were her most distinctive feature.
I recognized them as the Kami Shiraishi sisters as soon as I saw their eyes. There was another older woman with them, but it is rare to see two successful sisters together,” said a drunken customer who was there.
The customer was right: Mone Kamishiraishi (26) and Moka (24) have only appeared together once before, in a movie.
The sisters’ debut in the entertainment world came in 2011 when they auditioned for “Toho Cinderella”. Moka won the Grand Prix and Mone won the Special Jury Prize, and they joined the same entertainment agency, but a commercial TV executive believes that it was a strategy to avoid selling the sisters.
If one of them is appearing in a regular terrestrial drama series, the other will not appear that season. They would make late-night or guest appearances. For example, last fall, Moka appeared in “Paripi Komei” (Fuji TV), while Mone only appeared in a late-night drama. They are both versatile and singers, but their record companies are different. This is probably because there is only a disadvantage to being compared as sisters.
I miss the time when they were shunned by TV people because they were too tightly managed by the shrewd manager who was put in charge of the sisters when they first debuted (laughs). (Laughs.) That’s how much they cared about her.
Waiting for their sister to be ready, the sisters began to walk slowly. Moka did not straddle the bicycle, but pushed it with both hands on the handlebars. Both sisters are starring in TV dramas, movies, and commercials, and this was a rare photo opportunity for the two powerful sisters, but it was late at night, and no one noticed. Soon after, Moka took off her hat, which she had been wearing deeply. The corners of their lovely eyes were drooping, as if they were in the middle of a lively conversation.
It was the day before Valentine’s Day, and I had hoped that they would give someone a real chocolate, but for these two extremely busy people, recharging their batteries at the yakiniku must have been more important.
