<h3>She has a good-natured personality.</h3>

<p> &#8212;What did you think of this photogravure?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I was anxious and nervous since this was my first gravure since Miss Maga 2024, and my first solo gravure, but the staff kindly taught me how to do it, and I enjoyed the shoot so much that I thought it was over in a flash. I especially enjoyed shooting in the pool. Although the weather was fine, the water temperature was about 20 degrees Celsius and it was cold, but once I was in the pool, I got used to the temperature and had so much fun that I was still playing after the shooting was over. I think I was able to get a good expression because I was almost just myself during the shooting of that scene.</span></p>
<p> &#8212;What did you do for the shoot?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I tried not to eat too much food in the morning and at night, and if I ate a big lunch, I would only eat fruit at night.</span></p>
<p> &#8212;Is there anything you had to endure?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I love fried food and grilled meat, so I wanted to eat a lot of them, but my constitution tends to show in my body, so I tried not to eat for a few days before the shoot.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> &#8212;Do you have any memorable costumes for the shoot?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> A. &#8220;The cream-colored one-piece swimsuit. I was photographed with a cool, determined expression in this outfit, and when I looked at the photos taken of me, I realized that I could also have such a mature expression (laughs). It was like I met a new me, and it was very impressive. I have a pretty good-natured personality and joke around a lot with my friends, so I think people who know me on a day-to-day basis would be quite surprised to see my gravure photos.</span></p>
<p> &#8212;You went to a high school where you could study voice acting, right? What made you decide to go to that high school?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I first became aware of the possibility of becoming a voice actor when I was in junior high school. At the time, I was into sports anime such as &#8220;Majors&#8221; and &#8220;HIQUE! and other sports anime at the time, and that&#8217;s how I learned about voice acting. I thought it was wonderful and cool that they were able to bring laughter and excitement to the viewers with just their voices, and I thought that I would like to work in the future using my voice, too.</span></p>

<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" What are the classes at a high school that nurtures voice actors?"></div>
<h3>We had singing and dancing lessons.&#8221;</h3>

<p> &#8212;What did you study at school?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In addition to vocal exercises, tongue twisters, and postrecording, we also had to memorize long lines and do a seven-minute storytelling by ourselves, perform on stage, and take singing and dance classes. Many of today&#8217;s voice actors are active beyond the boundaries of voice acting, such as working as idols and appearing in variety shows, so we had a variety of classes so that we wouldn&#8217;t have any problems after graduation.</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_408516" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-408516" style="width: 3024px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="#" data-ident_hash="eb908f89"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/fridaydigital/image/private/t_article_image/wpmedia/2025/01/ea58e4478ef004bd44d310c495e277ee-rotated.jpg" alt=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-408516" class="wp-caption-text"> Off shot of Kurumi Miyajima <span style="color: #333333; font-size: 1rem;"> </span></figcaption></figure>
<p> &#8212;Do students create their own works at school?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> At the end of each year of high school, there is a &#8220;graduation project exhibition,&#8221; where students present the results of their studies over the year.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> &#8212;If you get a job as a voice actor, would you like to work on a sports anime?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I would like to work on a character who has a lot of emotional ups and downs, like crying and getting angry, rather than a sports anime. I&#8217;d like to play a character with a distinctive quality that will remain in the viewer&#8217;s mind, and I&#8217;d also like to express crying in my voice alone.</span></p>
<p> &#8212;I know that you also work as an actor, but how did you get started?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I went to a high school for voice actors, so at first I only wanted to be a voice actor. But as I mentioned earlier, some of the classes at school included singing practice and acting, so I watched a lot of dramas and movies to study acting, which I found enjoyable, and I decided that I wanted to be involved in dramas as an actor as well, not just as a voice actor.</span></p>
<p> &#8212;Do you have an actor you are aiming for?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I would like to be an actor as well as a voice actor in dramas. I personally like Kanna Hashimoto, but she plays a wide range of roles from comedy to serious acting, so I still use her as a reference for my acting.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> &#8212;What do you do on your days off?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I went to a high school for voice actors, and I still love anime. Recently, I&#8217;ve been into &#8220;Blue Rock&#8221; and &#8220;Yakuya no Hitori Goto (One Man&#8217;s Life in an Apothecary). I also watched &#8220;Mushi Shi&#8221; a while ago.</span></p>
<p> &#8212;What are your goals for the future?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> My goal is to become an actress or voice actor who is active in various fields. I really enjoyed doing gravure work this time, so I definitely want to continue doing gravure work in the future. Also, in my private life, I would like to expand my repertoire of cooking. I often make simple dishes such as stir-fried vegetables and pot-au-feu, but I can only cook as much as I can hold in both hands, so I would like to increase my repertoire in the future.</span></p>
