<h2>The &#8220;erotic line is vulgar!&#8221; Some people say, &#8220;It&#8217;s vulgar to go the erotic route!</h2>
<p> Former entrepreneur, Airina Hirakawa, who became famous for her comment &#8220;I <span class="strongInContent">don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be popular with girls,</span> &#8221; is currently distributing a documentary on her at &#8220;Secret Mama&#8217;s Garden&#8221; (ABEMA). On the 19th of this month, she announced her &#8220;Liver Challenge,&#8221; and her new challenge is attracting a lot of attention.</p>
<p> Her &#8220;first gravure&#8221; last month drew a great deal of attention. Her post on X announcing her gravure debut received more than 2 million impressions and was controversial, and on the 26th, 10 unpublished sexy photos were shown on the &#8220;FRIDAY Subscription&#8221; page, which has caused an even bigger reaction.</p>
<p> We asked her how she felt about her &#8220;first gravure&#8221; and the &#8220;anti-gravure&#8221; attacks. We asked her again.</p>

<p> -How did you feel when you saw the reactions on social networking sites?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> When I was 18 years old, I failed an audition because I didn&#8217;t have breasts, and after many years of modeling, I honestly didn&#8217;t think I would be in demand for a swimsuit. However, receiving the offer and being able to put it into a &#8220;photo book&#8221; gave me the opportunity to gain confidence.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> However, some people said that I was doing it for money or that there was no demand for my work. I myself do not feel that it is &#8220;for money&#8221; at all. I took on the challenge because I wanted to broaden the scope of my own expression!　Reactions on social networking sites have been mixed, but I feel very happy now that I can like my body, which used to be complex, and I can like myself.</span></p>
<p> -To refute the antagonists, X has also posted that &#8220;eroticism does not mean vulgarity.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;Just because it&#8217;s Gravure, &#8216;taking off one&#8217;s clothes is vulgar,&#8217; and &#8216;going the erotic route is vulgar!'&#8221; Some people said, &#8220;It is vulgar to take off one&#8217;s clothes just because it is a gravure. I felt a little uncomfortable with the assumption that &#8216;eroticism = vulgarity. I believe that eroticism and sex appeal are expressions of a person&#8217;s way of life, self-confidence, and accumulated experience. This gravure was also an expression of affirmation of who I am now.</span></p>

<h2>Started a project to discover and nurture livers!</h2>
<p> -How was the reaction of those close to you?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> My family all ran out to buy FRIDAY in the morning (laughs) and called me to say, &#8216;I got it! They called me and said, &#8216;I got it! My mother runs a dry-cleaning business, and she said, &#8216;I&#8217;m going to cut it out and hang it in my store! I was a little surprised. My friends said, &#8220;It&#8217;s beautiful,&#8221; and &#8220;I like how it shows Airina&#8217;s personality! I was told, &#8220;It&#8217;s beautiful.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> On the other hand, some of my mothers said, &#8220;I&#8217;m too embarrassed to buy Gravure. I hope that the time will come when people will accept expressing themselves more naturally, rather than forcibly hiding it.</span></p>

<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> -There are some people on social networking sites who have bad things to say about you.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I have not consulted a lawyer or anything at this point. We believe that no matter what we do, there will always be people who will speak ill of us. I have received reports from people I work with saying, &#8216;All the employees bought FRIDAY! and receiving great praise in real life was more significant for me.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I value the voices of people I actually communicate with face to face more than words written on SNS. However, I do consider the option of consulting an expert if necessary in cases of obvious slander or untrue content.&#8221;</span></p>
<p> -You have announced that you are taking on the challenge of becoming a Lifer, what are your future plans?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I have started to discover and nurture new lifers, not only to be a lifer myself, but also to help others in the same situation to live their lives in a more personal way. We will also hold online exchanges and events!　Our team will be there to support you, and we&#8217;d love to see you give it a shot!&#8221;</span></p>
<p> After being beaten up online for so long, &#8220;Blue Stripe Pink&#8221; is taking a new step forward.</p>
