Nogizaka46’s Setoguchi Shintsuki Confesses: “I am Positive in Mind and Body through Beauty” – Celebration!
Her lovely smile and dark eyes that seem to draw you in …….
She certainly exudes a charm that is perfect for a “beauty ambassador. We are talking about Setoguchi Shintsuki (20) of Nogizaka46, who became the “ViVi Beauty Ambassador” starting with the June issue of the fashion magazine “ViVi” (on sale April 23).
According to the magazine’s editor-in-chief, she was fascinated by Setoguchi, who gave an all-out cheerleader performance at the unveiling of “Nogizaka46” 6th term students.
Below is what Setoguchi had to say about her enthusiasm for becoming an ambassador and her dreams for beauty.
When ViVi, a magazine I love, asked me to be an ambassador, I simply said, “Thank you! I was filled with gratitude. I was a member of the cheerleading club in high school, so I think I naturally became able to dance with a full-throated smile on my face. However, it was only after I became a “ViVi Beauty Ambassador” that I was able to compete. I want to become an expert in all genres, including makeup, skin care, and hair care.
A mild culture shock

According to her, she is “a beginner when it comes to beauty.
“The only thing I was careful about was applying a sheet pack (beauty mask containing beauty essence) every night after taking a bath. However, I had realized that just applying a sheet pack had a great effect on beauty. My skin, which used to be prone to acne, was refreshed and calmed down. ViVi” has also started a new series titled “Beauty: Trying It On,” so I would like to learn a lot together with readers and tell them about various kinds of beauty.
She and Moeka Yada (18) shared the center role in “Biryani,” the 40th single released last November. Although she has a glamorous image, her favorite color is surprisingly …….
Black. I’m from Kagoshima Prefecture, and for some reason there were many people around me, including my family, who liked to wear black. It’s only been a year since I moved to Tokyo, but I’m experiencing a mild culture shock. Everyone walking around town is dressed in brightly colored clothes ……. I want to learn a lot about colors that suit each person.
Her name, “Mitsuki,” was given by her parents in the hope that she would grow up to brightly light up someone’s heart.
I will do my best not to lose the name in “ViVi” as well. I will do my best not to lose out on the name in ‘ViVi’ as well. It is my dream as an ambassador to brighten the hearts of readers, even if only a little.”
The challenge of a top idol in a fashion magazine has begun.
