She is single and has been a mother in secret. &#8230;&#8230; is not the only place she has been a mother. On that day, Hotta was filming for &#8220;Between Love and Friendship,&#8221; a drama series scheduled for distribution on Fuji TV TWO and Hikari TV.

 The original story is a novel serialized on the web of &#8220;Tokyo Calendar&#8221; since 2006, and manga artist FURUKAWAWAORI has adapted it into a comic book. This drama is a film adaptation of the comic and depicts the subsequent love and friendship between a man and a woman who met in a club during their college days&#8221; (source from the production company).
During the filming, she remained standing all the time without sitting on a chair during the waiting time, chatting amiably with the crew. She finished the shoot without incident, even though her body shook from time to time from the cold weather.
As a model, Hotta boasted a huge following among young women. Is it possible that she will soon make her breakthrough as an actress?
