<p>We asked her what she was thinking when she took the photos.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I was honestly surprised when I received the offer. I didn&#8217;t even know if there would be demand for it. Inc. will be coming to an end next year, I want to be active without regrets. Inc. will be coming to an end next year, I want to do my activities with no regrets. I decided to do it.</span></p>
<p>In 1919, she announced her marriage to Shuichi Aso, a manga artist known for &#8220;Saiki Kusuo no Ψ難&#8221; and other works, and in 2009 she gave birth to her first child. Mirin-chan&#8221; has been on her own unique path, being a mother of one child while still being an active idol.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> She is also married, so I was worried that the theme would be something like &#8220;Married Woman in the Afternoon&#8221; (laughs). (Laughs.) I had never done a &#8220;direct gravure&#8221; shoot in swimwear or lingerie before, so this was a completely new challenge for me.</span></p>
<p>Known as a gamer idol, &#8220;Mirin-chan&#8221; has stated that she would like to &#8220;unlock&#8221; various achievements as she moves toward the end of her career. For example, in September, she held her first solo live performance, and this time she &#8220;unlocked&#8221; her &#8220;achievement&#8221; of FRIDAY-style sexy photogravure.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> She said, &#8220;It was completely different from my previous photo shoots as an idol. I was told that I would be photographed from this angle and that I would not normally be photographed in this pose, and I discovered that I look like this. It was full of surprises, and I feel like I gained a lot of experience.</span></p>
<p>What kind of preparations did she make for the shoot?</p>

<h3>The difficulty of posing for photogravure</h3>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I&#8217;m sorry to be so rudimentary, but I decided to lose some weight (laughs). I sealed off my favorite ramen and stopped eating anything at night once and for all.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In the first place, I basically can&#8217;t go to a ramen restaurant when I have children. But about the day before yesterday, I had some alone time and wanted to go, but this one bowl of ramen would destroy everything I had built up! I weighed that against &#8230;&#8230; and decided not to go!　I decided to hold off.</span></p>
<p>She also studied &#8220;gravure poses.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I looked at pictures of Enako and Ummi Shinonome and studied them. I saw her commenting, &#8216;Squashing the hips makes the waist look thinner,&#8217; and I thought, &#8216;I see! I used it as a reference.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> （I found it difficult to pose for photogravure (when I actually tried it). The stylists gave me a lot of advice on set. Without you all, I would have ended up with nothing. &#8230;&#8230;</span></p>
