<h2> Mature and sexy</h2>
<p> &#8211;How was the shoot in Perth, Australia?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> It was great!　I love summer very much, and Perth has very few rainy days and a lot of sunny hours. I was able to enjoy the iconic &#8220;midsummer&#8221; weather.</span></p>
<p> &#8211;I heard that you also visited Rottnest Island, which is about a two-hour ferry ride from Perth.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Rottnest Island is famous for its abundance of quokka wallabies. I only had time to see a couple of them, but one of them was very friendly. I took a picture with him and he is in my latest photo book (laughs).</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> &#8211;What is your favorite shot?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> A. &#8220;The shot in which I cut my T-shirt short and showed my breasts in a bold way. I think I was able to express a middle ground between my present self and my past self. I think it is a shot that retains the innocence of the past, but also shows the grown-up version of me.</span></p>
<p> &#8211;Is there a scene in the filming that left a deep impression on you?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> There is a scene in the photo taken in the bed of the presidential suite of the 5-star hotel &#8220;The Westin Perth&#8221;. It was one scene that brought out the matured look I have now. I wore a sexy black and pink bikini, and even though it was in the same room, I was able to express a completely different atmosphere from day to night. I think everyone will enjoy the gap between the two.</span></p>
<p> &#8211;I heard that you challenged yourself with daring no-bra shots and nude shots.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Yes, I did!　The T-shirt shot I mentioned earlier was done without a bra. The nudie shots are in the bath and in the black swimsuit scene. She is wearing a costume, but in the black bikini, her skin is glistening, and I think it gives the scene a glossy finish.</span></p>
<p> &#8211;What changes have you seen since you started gravure?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> What changes have you seen since you started gravure? I think my body has become very mature, and even though I have the same facial expression as I did then, I feel that I am more attractive as a woman.</span></p>
<p> &#8211;How did you come to be able to show a more mature and sexy side?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I think my repertoire for expressing myself has increased as I have experienced various things as an actor. I was conflicted about returning to gravure for the first time in five years, and I was very anxious about whether people would accept me. But the staff around me encouraged me and made it possible. I wanted to meet the expectations of my fans.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> &#8211;Did you have any difficulties in maintaining your once &#8220;powerful body&#8221;?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I wasn&#8217;t particularly conscious of it. On the contrary, I am now aiming for a more feminine body and have gained about 3 kg. I may be working harder than I was then (laughs). I&#8217;m the type of person who eats a lot, but as I get older, it&#8217;s harder to gain weight. &#8230;&#8230; This time, I consciously ate rice cakes, sweet buns, and steamed buns, which tend to make me fat.&#8221;</span></p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" Returning to her roots in gravure"></div>
<h2>Experience and Growth</h2>
<p> &#8211;I heard that you have a habit of doing ego searches on a regular basis. Do you still do it?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> It is in my nature to do so. When I returned to gravure this time, I was curious about people&#8217;s reactions, and I saw many people saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m glad you&#8217;re back in gravure. I was deeply moved, saying, &#8220;Thank you for waiting for me.</span></p>
<p> &#8211;That makes me happy. How do you plan to balance your work in the future?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> As I celebrate my 10th anniversary in show business, I would like to brush up on the skills I have cultivated over the course of my career. I would like to show my growth in both gravure and acting based on the foundation of both. This time, I took part in gravure with the intention of returning to my roots, but I also realized how much I appreciate and enjoy the work, and I would like to continue to do so in the future. In acting, I want to take on more and more roles that I have never played before!</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> &#8211;You also star in the movie &#8220;Tokyo Escape,&#8221; which opens in theaters on March 20.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I am 24 years old now, and I played a high school student in this movie. I played a role that was younger than my actual age, so in order to bring out the freshness of the role, I tried to avoid drinking alcohol and lead a regular life. The main character, Asuka, is a high school girl who has no place at home or at school, but has a strong core. I felt that I could easily understand how she would behave if she were a high school student, and that helped me in my performance.</span></p>
<p> &#8211;Do you like to drink?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> When I turned 20, I thought it was fun to drink every day!　But in the last few years, I don&#8217;t drink at home at all. I drink when I go out, and I am not weak, but the way I face it has changed. I can&#8217;t drink anything sweet, so I prefer a strong tea high.</span></p>
<p> &#8211;What do you do in your free time?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Sauna and golf. I also like to stay at home, so sometimes I sleep all day, but lately I have been very active. I started playing golf under the influence of my father, mother, and older brother, and my score is around 100. I am in the process of getting my friends into golf now (laughs).&#8221;</span></p>
<p> &#8211;Lastly, please give us a message.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> This time, I put everything I have grown up to be!　I hope you enjoy this latest photo book, my first in five years.</span></p>

<p> Rio Teramoto, age 24. <br>
Born in Hiroshima Prefecture. She started her career in 2004 and appeared in the Netflix drama &#8220;Sanctuary&#8221; and the NHK TV series &#8220;Omusubi.&#8221; The movie &#8220;Tokyo Escape&#8221; in which she plays the lead role opened on March 20.</p>
<h2> My Best Recent &#8220;MORNING ROUTINE <br>
Cafe Morning</h2>
<p> This year, I changed my lazy lifestyle and started &#8220;morning activities&#8221; to improve my physical condition and efficiency. On weekdays, I start my activities at 8:00 a.m. On weekends and holidays, I go to café mornings, picnics, and golf, and use my free time to edit content. My former life was a bit full of activities, but by making effective use of my morning hours, I have found a rhythm in my life. I am struggling every day to maintain a sense of being a member of society!</p>
