Number_i” Shiyoh Hirano mentions the “leaked photo”… Fans are surprised at the reference to “black history”.

Shiyoh Hirano puts it bluntly on her Instagram live-stream

On March 20, Shiyoh Hirano (29) of “Number_i” held a live broadcast on her Instagram account. While enjoying conversation with viewers through comments, she mentioned a “leaked photo” from the past.

Hirano started the guerrilla live-streaming from what appeared to be her home and responded to comments while writing her autograph on the jacket of her single “3XL,” which will be released on April 27 as a special offer for fan club members only (by lottery).

When the topic of his entertainment career came up, Hirano said, “You may have already noticed this through leaks and such, but I was in a modeling agency when I was quite a little girl. If you can consider that as my entertainment career, it’s a very long time. I’ve been doing it since I was in the first or second grade.

I’ve been in a lot of movies. You know, the ones with the aprons. You know that, right?　I’m not hiding it, so it’s totally fine.

Hirano joined the Johnny’s office in 2000. He is from Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, but at the office he experienced a low point in his career with Kansai Junior. Around this time, images of Hirano’s kids’ modeling days appeared on the Internet, and it was discovered that he had been used as a model for a wrapping bus for a certain tutoring school in the past, or had appeared in some catalog.

Hirano, who still has an innocent look about him, became a topic of conversation in images of him smiling while wearing an apron of the sports brand MIZUNO,” says an entertainment writer.

However, some of those who came to support Hirano after he became a member of “King & Prince” or “Number_i” may not have known about his kids’ model days. During the live concert, when he saw the posts in the comment section, he said, “Oh, no. Someone heard about it for the first time, I’m so embarrassed. I shouldn’t have said anything.

In response to Hirano’s frank talk, some fans uploaded previously leaked photos of the apron model and the wrapped bus on SNS. This time, though, the live-streaming was almost private,

I didn’t expect to hear about the apron from Shiyou’s own mouth.
It was so valuable to hear about “Shiyou-kun’s apron.
Shiyou, you used to be a model for a cram school, didn’t you? You’ve been in the industry for 22 years, you must be a veteran.
I’m a fan who doesn’t know anything about the outflow, so the apron story was new to me. I was surprised to hear that she had been working since she was a little girl.

I was surprised to hear that.

Responding cheerfully to fans’ “Yankee bullying

Hirano has been communicating with fans through Instagram live in the past, and “there are times when he touches on episodes that are usually difficult to talk about while chatting with fans on his personal feed.

For example, on November 25, 2013, during an Insta-live, she revealed that she was suspected of being a “yankee” in her school days.

When a fan commented, “I know you’re a yankee, so I’m fine,” Hirano replied, “Shut up, I’m not a yankee!　I’m not a yankee! He denied it, saying, “It’s impossible to say ‘I’m not a yankee. I’m not a yankee!” He denied it, but then let it slip, “I can’t say that I’m not a yankee.

In fact, one picture of him in a group photo at his junior high school graduation ceremony, wearing a flashy purple suicide uniform, has leaked out in the past. Hirano himself must have been aware that the picture had spread on the Internet.

Hirano did not try to hide the leaked photo, which could be called her “black history,” and spoke frankly about it in the live broadcast. This unpretentious personality is probably one of the reasons why she is loved by her fans.
