Rimi Ishihara ( 35 ) announced her pregnancy last month through her firm. Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in the entertainment journalist circle about what kind of impact this matter will have on her acting career.

Looking at the various roles Ishihara has played along the way, the birth of her first child will undoubtedly play a positive role in her acting career. The experience of conceiving and having children is likely to bring a lot of 'depth' to her acting skills, in fact, several actresses have experienced this change in the past, such as Kamito Sai (36 years old). After giving birth to two children, her acting skills can be described as a rebirth, and even the producers can't help but clap their hands... Although she could no longer work as non-stop as before, she also became a down-to-earth actor. (Senior Entertainment)

In addition, there are many film and television drama related people who are looking forward to the "change" after Shi Yuanzi.

"In the circle's view, ishihara's biggest problem before is her 'slightly darker' part. The reason why she still can't be reborn as a top actress is because of her 'dark side'. I'm looking forward to whether this problem will be solved by experiencing pregnancy and childbirth. If I have to compare anything, this is what Haruka Ayase (36 years old) has but Ishihara does not have, and I'm really looking forward to how she will 'evolve'. ”

■ Baby products and food manufacturers are coming to the door

The advertising circle is no exception to expecting Ishihara. Not long ago, "Japan Mono" announced the list of the number of advertising manufacturers signed by artists in 2021, and the number of ishihara's signings after marriage has not declined, ranking 24th in the list with the number of signings of 8 large companies, showing a solid popularity.

In the circle, Ishihara is recognized as a "rare actress whose private life does not affect her advertising work", and this list is the best evidence of this recognition. This also proves to Ishihara that her marriage will not be a deduction.

And immediately after the pregnancy was announced, a number of customers of different kinds sent invitations to Ishihara.

Ishihara's most famous advertising endorsements include "Kao", "Suntory", "Mitsubishi UFJ Bank", "Tokyo Metro" and other brands. I heard that baby products, home appliances, and food manufacturers are also actively engaging with her.

Of course, the work policy of herself and her firm will change depending on the degree of privacy concessions as a "mother". But if the invitation continues to flock like this, it is certain that Ishihara will enter the "Mom-level Artist List" for the first time.

Currently at the top of the list is Keiko Kitagawa (35). Since giving birth to her first child two years ago, she has become the most admired person among all Japanese mothers. The second echelon after Kitagawa in the first place is actresses such as Apricot (35 years old) and Kana Kimura (45 years old). Now what we are most concerned about is whether Ishihara will directly surpass Kitagawa and parachute into the 'new queen' after giving birth. Or will he join the second echelon and aim at the queen's throne? (Reporter of the relevant section of women's weekly magazine)

■ Mother-level artists return from "beautiful type" to "cute type"

Is it really just a coincidence that Ishihara, Kitagawa, and Apricot are all 35 years old? And today, the style of the list has also changed slightly. A reporter who carefully analyzed the list and the questionnaire survey of women's magazines said so.

"In recent years, 'glamorous' mom-level entertainers have received overwhelming support from young moms. But now, the "cute" mom-level artists who once started an era because of Yuko Kokura (38 years old) are regaining support little by little. Although this is only the result of our unilateral investigation, given this tendency, Ishihara is likely to directly parachute into the first place on the list. ”

According to this reporter, in addition to the "cute type", the "hard work" mother-level artists represented by apricots are now also popular.

Ishihara's awakening as an actor, and the sudden chaos of the "mother-level artist" battlefield... It's getting better and better. (Cang Yu /Translation)
