Sakurai Reika - Natalie Power Push [2/2] + interview translation
Natalie : Before having the photoshoot today, do you have particular image that you wanted to show?
Sakurai : I had seen Natalie’s 1st and 2nd gravure project, and i thought they were very good. I haven’t done many gravure works. Whenever I got the chance to do gravure, I still couldn’t put out the best of my facial expression. And now, with this big theme, in this photoshoot I wanted to show many of my facial expression which I never showed before. I wanted to make that impression in this Natalie gravure. I had always wanted to had photo session like that. My dream finally came true. I’m really happy.
Natalie : I’ve received the pictures. You really did very well
Sakurai : Is that true? That’s also because of the skillful staffs (LOL)
Natalie : No, no. The cameraman and staffs’ job are to pull out the subject material. The fact is, there’s facial expression which I had never seen before. I think the fans will also be surprised.
Sakurai : If I can, I want to redo the photoshoot from the beginning!
Natalie : Eh?? (LOL)
Sakurai : Personally, I think I’m bad at the beginning. I’m regretting it. In the second half, finally I could feel relaxed. I want to redo things from when I entered this studio (LOL)
Natalie : No, you can’t (LOL). In the end, it’s people who see the pics that will judge. About gravure, do you not having any confidence at all?
Sakurai : No. I don’t have any slight confidence at all. I really don’t have self-confidence. I think I have to overcome it.
Natalie : But, Isn’t it a trigger? If this photoshoot can help you. It will lead you to gain more confidence.
Sakurai : Yes. I want to do revenge. If there’s another gravure project in the future, I’ll surely apply my candidacy and do revenge.
