Bathed in sunlight, her refreshing smile and dignified expression are striking. “Our photographer, Tokyo Yu, is very fast at taking pictures, and he used four or five cameras to take the photos. Because he’s so fast, we were moving really quickly,” she said, looking back on the shoot. “When I got into the ocean, I got excited about the water, and although the shoot was supposed to only get my feet wet, I went further and further in and ended up soaked (laughs). Because it was the ocean, the wind was really strong, and I ended up going so far that the stylists and makeup artists couldn’t get in, so they were really worried,” she said, sharing a charming anecdote. “When I saw the photos that came back, I saw that the wind and light from that moment were captured in the photo, with my really lively smile, and it made Azuma’s arms really shine,” she said, smiling. “I was laughing so hard, but I was relieved that he was able to capture such a refreshing moment, and I’m glad I asked Azuma to do the shoot,” she said.

In the scene where we were filming in a pool that had no water in it, I really couldn’t open my eyes. That was the scene where I was wearing a straw hat. The cameraman, Azuma, captured the moment my eyes opened, so I think I look cool in the photo.”

Apparently, the hotel where the filming took place had many photogenic spots, and she commented with satisfaction, “An acquaintance of mine asked me, ‘Was this filmed overseas?’ When I told them it was in Chiba they were a little disappointed (laughs). But it was a filming location that could give off that exotic atmosphere, so I’m glad we chose Tateyama.” Hinako’s family home, where all her calendar books are displayed, is a “Hinako Exhibition”!?

Every year I give them a signed calendar as a gift, and they have all of my calendars on display at my parents’ house, even the ones from years that have passed, so it’s like a Hinako exhibition (laughs). Now that this one has joined their collection, I think they’ll say I look a little more grown-up.” Achieve exceptional results with body shaping that will impress everyone. When asked to rate her calendar book, Sakurai confidently replied, “120 points!” “The photographer, hair and makeup artist, and stylists were all top-notch, so I was guaranteed a great result, but my body has been getting better and better. Even after finishing the photo shoot last year, I continued with my body shaping without stopping, and my body is in better shape than last year. I also think that when I stand in front of the camera, a confidence that I didn’t even realize I had oozes from the photos. I’m proud that I’m updating my photos every year to deliver something I can be confident in to those who pick up my books, so I’d like to give it a score of 120 points,” she said, exuding a sense of
accomplishment.

She also revealed that she was pleased with the results of her efforts, saying, “An editor who I’ve been working with since I was a teenager complimented me, saying that my legs have become prettier. I’ve been working really hard on my butt, but there’s a part of me that can’t really be classified as either butt or thigh. I call that my ‘legs’ (laughs). By properly training my ‘legs’, they’ve become my ‘butt’, and I now have more surface area than before, and my legs look slimmer than before, which is why I’m glad I worked hard on my training this time.” Sharing stories of stoic muscle training

I also do hot yoga, Pilates, and a lot of other things.” She revealed her incredible love for strength training, saying, “There was a time when I was doing it every day, but people would tell me, ‘You’re doing too much.’ But my body has gotten to the point where I’m no longer satisfied with just once or twice a week (laughs). So, while I know I need to slow down, I also want to train more, so I’m thinking about cutting it down to twice a week.”

Training it properly improves my posture, and I love how the erector spinae stands out clearly in the shadow of the light when I stand beside it. The cut of the erector spinae is also clearly featured in the calendar.” He continued, “My current goal is to make the grooves (of the erector spinae) deeper. Since my back is rarely visible, I wonder if I can train it without anyone noticing (laughs). I’d also be happy if a role came along that allowed me to be muscular,” drawing laughter from the audience. Message to fans
