No Sleep Before the Deadline: An F-Cup Gravure Idol Discusses Her Writing Process for a Viral Essay

Challenging my first stage performance!

– During the shoot, there was a cut themed around a writer holed up before a deadline.

That was a funny concept (laughs). I usually shut myself in my room before deadlines, but I actually found a great way to write. If I pull an all-nighter and go to a café in the morning without sleeping at all, the words just flow. So before deadlines, I don’t sleep much and head out to family restaurants or cafés.

– What kind of work do you want to do in the future?

Until now, I’ve been a bit vague about what I want to do, and I felt a sense of accomplishment from doing gravure for the first time last year. Then I started writing essays, and actually writing them made me strongly desire to engage in writing activities while being talented. Even though I had been writing for many years since my idol days (through blogs and such), I often disliked writing. But through writing again, I realized that I actually love it.

I also want to focus on acting work. I feel it shares similarities with writing in terms of expressing emotions. From October 31 to November 3, I’ll be participating in two works: “Yubi” and “The D-Saka Murder Case”!

In the October 4 issue of Friday, Igarashi showcases beautiful gravure. Keep an eye on her diverse future endeavors!

In ” Forming a 7-member group in the Philippines… The ‘surprising life’ of a ‘former idol’ in Nagoya “, Ms. Igarashi’s life to date is traced based on her essay.
