Ayano Hamaura Takes on Gravure After Intensive Training Session with Tsunku♂
Ayano Hamaura is the former center of "Kobushi Factory," an idol group from Hello! Project idol group Kobushi Factory. She is currently active as an actress, and is attracting attention for her first post-graduation gravure in FRIDAY, which was released on September 5.
“I didn’t expect such a response”
— Since graduating from Hello! Project in 2020, this was your first gravure shoot. Can you tell us about the motivation for taking on this challenge and your impressions of the shoot?
“Every time I met fans at events or concerts, they would say, ‘I want to see gravure’ or ‘I want you to release a photo book.’ When I received the offer from FRIDAY, I thought maybe I could meet the expectations of everyone who had been waiting! I was filled with the desire to share this news with my fans as soon as possible. I was really able to relax during the shoot, so I think everyone will get to see the real me at 24.”
