Mimi Furukawa of Dempagumi.inc Overcame the Wall After Gaining 20 kg and Giving Birth

I’m glad I was able to take on the gravure challenge.

Through the experience of gravure shooting, her anxiety turned into confidence.

“The most discouraged I’ve been recently was when my body shape didn’t return after giving birth. I gained 20 kilograms, and it didn’t come off at all. When I wore the Denpa outfits and could see my body line, the difference from my previous self was too big. There was a time when I didn’t want to wear costumes anymore, I didn’t want to be in front of people.

So, to be able to take pictures of my body now and feel confident is almost like a miracle. I’m really glad I took on the gravure.”

This shoot captured a different side of idol Furukawa Mirin.

“I absolutely want the people who support me to see it. I can imagine how wow! X (formerly Twitter) will explode (laughs). I think they’ll be really happy. Honestly, I’m not sure how people who don’t know me will see it but I hope many people will see it!”

Having done various achievements both as an idol and a mother, “Mirin-chan” challenged herself with her first full-on sexy gravure. She wants her supporters to witness this challenge.
