They have been working together for the first time in 9 years since “NMB48”! Megumi Kaminishi & Rei [This Week’s Cover Girl’s Chest

Ideal belly button

–I heard that it has been a long time since the sisters have appeared together in gravure.

Megumi: “This is the second time in nine years. Both my sister and I are from NMB48, but we were together for less than a year and didn’t perform together much, so I’m really happy to have this opportunity this time!

Rei: “Nine years ago, I had just joined NMB and I remember how nervous I was. I wanted to work with Megumi again someday, so I was like, ‘Here it is at last! I felt like, ‘Here I am at last!

Megumi: “It’s been two years since I did gravure. My sister has more experience than me now, so this time I asked her to lead me.

–I heard that Rei was attracted to Megumi’s belly button.

Rei: “Megumi’s belly button is my ideal shape. It has beautiful vertical lines and beautiful abdominal muscles. We often take a bath together or go to a sauna together, and I am secretly interested in Megumi’s belly button. …… This time I got to take a good look at it (laughs).

Megumi: “Whenever we take a bath, I am always surprised at the size of my sister’s bust. Megumi: “Whenever we take a bath, I am always surprised at the size of my sister’s breasts, and yet her waist is slim and she has a very well rounded body. I can’t get over the impression that I used to bathe my younger sister, but when I look at her calmly, I think she has an amazing body.

Rei: “Even Megumi is very thin and has a style that girls adore. I was afraid that standing next to Megumi would make me look fat. That’s what I’m worried about (laughs).

–It has been a year since Rei graduated from NMB48. What kind of year was it?

Rei: “When I was at NMB48, I always felt that any work I did was for the group. But now I have to do it for myself. My most memorable job was cosplay. After graduating from NMB48, I got serious about it and participated in Comiket for the first time last summer. I started getting cosplay jobs, and it was a year of reevaluating my “likes”.
But right after graduation, I started to gain weight, and by the end of last year, I had gained 8 kg. I thought it was too much, so I started to lose weight through Pilates and other exercises, and now I’m back to the weight I was when I was at NMB.

Megumi: “I also gained 5kg right after I graduated in 2005. I felt happy and relieved that my sister was on the same path (laugh). After graduating from NMB48, she started eating normally, which was a relief.

–Let’s return to your work. You are mainly active in theater, aren’t you?

Megumi: “My dream since childhood has been to be an actress, so I study every day. When I was a member of NMB48, I made a music video with a yakuza movie-like worldview, and I have been yearning to be in a yakuza movie ever since. I would like to play a powerful woman who uses her Kansai dialect to deliver strong, direct words.

Rei: “I would like to try my hand at voice acting in anime. I have received compliments that I have a cute voice and am suited for the role, but I have never experienced it. I would like to try it someday.”

Drinking and Seungsun

–How do you spend your days off?

Megumi: “I am an indoor drinker and often drink at home. I keep a large stock of long cans of beer and limit myself to three a day. I prepare healthy snacks such as yams, and while drinking I check social networking sites or read manga and novels.”

Rei: “I am addicted to collecting character goods such as plush toys and acrylic stands. I go to game centers and play crane games until I get my “guess. My latest guess is ‘Puppet Sun Sun Sun’.

Megumi: “When I go to my sister’s house in Osaka, there are tons of stuffed animals on her bed. There is so much stuffed animals that there is no space to sleep (laugh).

Rei: “Unlike my house, Megumi’s house in Tokyo is very neat and clean. But the table is covered with cans and bottles of alcohol (laugh).

–(laugh) – Is there anything you respect in each other?

Megumi: “Their energy. She goes away to collect stories and updates her SNS every day. I respect the way she connects things like her recent cosplay to her work.

Rei: “Leadership, I was strongly impressed by the way Megumi led her juniors during her NMB days. I think she is a cool woman.

–What would you like to do if you were in a different position?

Megumi: “I tend to play the role of a big sister wherever I go, so I would like to play the role of a little sister and be spoiled by someone (laughs).

Rei “I want to work hard on my makeup and fashion, and master the beautiful older sister character.

–Do you have a message for your fans?

Megumi: “We are pleased to have the Kaminishi sisters in gravure for the first time in 9 years, and we hope you will get excited on SNS, etc. Your support really helps us! Your support is really helping us!

Rei: “We have similar faces as sisters, but I hope you enjoy the differences between us!

My best recent “DISH
Spice curry/Shio Ramen

Megumi: I am addicted to making spice curry. I like to drink a lot, so I am health conscious when it comes to food. I enjoy adjusting the cumin, turmeric, and other ingredients myself, keeping in mind that it is gluten-free.
Rei: I used to hate ramen, but I conquered it at a tomato ramen restaurant in Osaka that my sister took me to. Now I like salt ramen. Since I got my driver’s license, I enjoy eating ramen in the middle of the night when I drive, which I couldn’t do during my NMB days.
