Mai Shiraishi:Kirin Kawashima, a "hunter" since her Nogizaka46 days: "Maiya will take the lead and cut in with her sword"

Actor Mai Shiraishi attended the new CM announcement event for the smartphone game "Monster Hunter Now" held in Tokyo on December 4th. Shiraishi, who will be appearing in the "Monster Hunter" CM for the first time in the new CM that will be aired from the 12th (released on the web on the 4th), revealed that she has been a "hunter" since her days in Nogizaka46, saying, "I'm happy. Since I was in the group, I used to play in a circle with the other members in my free time." In the new CM, she is actually playing the game, and her co-star, comedian Akira Kawashima of the comedy duo "Kirin," said, "Maiyan takes the lead and cuts with a sword. When I looked next to her, her eyes were amazing." When asked what she would like to update in 2025, in reference to the game that will be updated on the 12th and "Season 4" will begin, Shiraishi said with a wry smile, "I want to have more vocabulary. Even if I think about it in my head, I often can't express it well, and Japanese is difficult..." As his co-star Aoki Macho is an avid reader, he said, "I want to read books like Aoki." The presentation was attended by Kawashima, Shiraishi, Aoki, Inoue Satoshi from "Jicho Kacho," and Niantic's game director Kanno Chihiro. There was also a scene where Shiraishi and Aoki teamed up to challenge Rajang and defeat it brilliantly.
