In the “8th Cover Girl Award”, which awards the number of magazine covers released in 2021, Enako won the grand prize and placed second.Moe Ioritied for third placeShinozaki Heartaccomplished the feat. The three of them have made their way from the cosplay world to the center of the gravure world. What is your outlook for this summer?
― Comiket circle of talent belonging to PP Enterprise (PPE), which makes a long line every year. Everyone, what are your plans for this year’s “Summer Comiket”?
EnakoI am planning to publish a photo book with the theme of “yellow” and other new works. Also, I’m planning to release a set called “Enakorin Set” that includes various photobooks and goods that are sold every year.
– What about Iori-san?
IoriNothing has been decided yet (laughs).
― This shoot will be in mid-June, so the deadline seems to be quite tight (laughs). Mr. Shinozaki’s ’21 was the first time to participate in the summer comic.
ShinozakiSince I joined PPE, I haven’t been able to meet my fans due to the corona disaster, so I was very happy to be able to talk directly! The work was also produced by Iorin (Iori), so Iorin fans picked it up and had a lot of fresh experiences. By the way, I plan to release a photo book produced by Iorin this year as well.
― Iori-san, what was it like to produce Shinozaki-san?
IoriI was always thinking about outfits that Kokoro-chan would look good in, but when she actually wore them at the shooting site, they turned out really cute! I’m glad that Kokoro-chan also made it into an SNS icon and liked it.
― Please tell us what you want to challenge this summer. First is Enako.
EnakoI haven’t been able to go anywhere for the past two years due to the coronavirus pandemic, so if I have a day off, I’d like to go to Okinawa or go camping in my private life!
― Enako didn’t have an image of camping at all…
EnakoI’ve never done it either. But when I saw the anime “Yuru Camp△”, I became interested. As long as I watch anime, I think I can do it myself (laughs).
― In the mountains, you might not be able to play your favorite games, right?
EnakoHmmm… Well then, let’s start with glamping (laughs).
– What do you think, Mr. Shinozaki?
ShinozakiRecently, I started playing Pokemon cards. That’s why I want to use cards as an opportunity to make more friends, and actually go to card shops and play against each other.
― How did you start playing Pokemon cards?
ShinozakiOriginally, everyone around me was doing it, so I was really worried. At that time, I was given the opportunity to open the “Pokeka” project on YouTube, and that’s how I started. The cute illustrations on the cards make you want to collect them!
― Finally, Mr. Iori.
IoriIn the summer, the three of us from Moena Kokoro often wear yukatas like this time, but we’ve never worn yukatas as a PPE group, so I’d like to do a yukata photo shoot with everyone! Wear a yukata that suits you, and put a flower on your head. Tulip for Enako and Margaret for Kokoro.
EnakoAnyone wearing a tulip on their head…?
IoriAbsolutely cute! But if you say so, a rose…
EnakoA little rose…
IoriThen what is it! (smile)
