Oscar Promotion's "2025 New Year's Kimono Photo Session" was held at Meiji Kinenkan (Minato Ward, Tokyo) on December 10th, with 11 female talents including Hikaru Takahashi and Miyu Honda in attendance. Normally only women attend, but this year, four male talents including Hiroki Iijima from "Kamen Rider Ex-Aid" also participated for the first time, bringing the total to 15 people dressed in kimono.
Looking back on this year, Takahashi said with a smile, "I've been in the entertainment industry for 10 years now, and I've had the opportunity to appear in many productions and even take on the action role that I've always wanted to, so I was really happy." Looking ahead to 2025, she said, "I want to be fulfilled both in my private life and at work," and added with sparkling eyes, "I started learning golf this year, so I'd like to play a round with my family!"
Honda, who turned 20 in June, revealed, "I can now drink alcohol. At first, I had sweet potato (shochu) as promised. (At a previous formal wear photo shoot) I had declared to Fuka Koshiba and Hikaru that I was going to drink sweet potato (laughs)."
Ichika Ozaki, who gained attention for appearing in the NHK Asadora"Tiger and Wings," said, "2024 was the year in which the scope of my work expanded, as I was able to appear in a Asadora for the first time. It was a year in which I was able to see what would become the core of my being. I have grown a little, so while I don't forget that, I want to make (next year) a year of great progress."
Also in attendance were Miyamoto Mayu, Imoto Ayaka, Igashira Manami, Tamada Shiori, Kawase Riko, Honda Sara, Osumi Yuki, Gyunai Takimi (Laala), Okuno So, Momose Takumi, and Shoji Kohei.
