When it comes to Ryoko Hirosue, almost everyone can say a bunch of "rainbow farts" without thinking -
You may not know her, but you must have seen these classic "avatars";
The scarce youthfulness and clarity make her known as "synonymous with summer" and "the last beautiful girl at the end of the 20th century";
Can conquer an era with plain face and unify the youth of Chinese, Japanese and Korean netizens for more than 20 years.
It is such a "cross-era beauty" who, after 11 years, suddenly released a new photo.
This is her 42-year-old state, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "Yan Peak Period":
But after so many years, time really has not worked? Not to.
It's just that the crisis it brought was digested.
"I can't stand someone hating me"
"I can't stand people hating me."
This is the mentality of Ryoko Hirosue's self-disclosure when she was on the show in 2022.
One of the hosts didn't think so much after listening to it, he didn't know that Ryoko Hiroshi was qualified to say this sentence back then.
Ryoko, who was born in 1980, is a beauty embryo when she is young.
When she was still in the douding period, she walked on the road with exquisite and clever appearance, which would attract little girls to look back.
Around the age of 6, Ryoko, who is beautiful and self-aware, began to aspire: "I want to be an actress when I grow up!" ”
When cardamom was young, she grew into everyone's "white moonlight":
Hearty temperament, kind and smiling, good reading, good grades, served as the main player of the basketball team, changed track and field and won the county award.
Such a heavenly proud son celebrates his birthday, and there are so many friends who congratulate him that he can only go to the park to do a party.
At the age of 14, Ryoko Hirosue stood out when Procter & Gamble selected the actress of the facial cleanser advertisement with her fresh and confident self-presentation, and took home the championship trophy and the million-yen prize.
In the second year of her debut, she set off a "Hiroshimo trend" throughout Japan and became a "national girl" loved by everyone:
She shoots BB machine advertisements, which can make mobile phones directly sold and stopped;
Sprint to the small screen, you can first take Takashi Kashiwahara, and then take Kimura Takuya. One "Long Vacation" and one "Beach Boy" are all hits;
I used to only know how to look at the face, but now I can see the abs at a glance
released the first single, not only popular all over the streets, but also appeared on the Japanese Spring Festival Gala (NHK red and white song competition) that year, you must know that the last winner of this award was Seiko Matsuda 17 years ago;
The first photo released sold a staggering 460,000 copies in an era when sales of 30,000 copies were already remarkable.
This popularity is enough to get carried away by people's minds.
That's why Ryoko Hirosue feels helpless and sad when she is hit on the head for no reason, knowing that someone hates her.
She doesn't know that everything is the easiest to live with, even her own life.
"My life is a mess"
Since transferring to Tokyo in high school, Ryoko Hirosue has been so busy that she has been flying.
Because she entered the industry too early and was too popular, she had no one to learn from and compare with.
Ryoko Hiroshima, who does not know how to refuse to work, has to run at both ends of the agency and the school, break into two days a day, and have to deal with fans who behave crazy.
At that time, there were teachers to take care of her, and the students protected her - the cute girls would turn into barricades and block the boys from other schools who blocked people at the school gate for the senior sister.
But after graduating from high school at the age of 18, she was left alone to bear the consequences of cooking oil from the fire.
In 1999, Ryoko Hirosue was admitted to Waseda University, a famous Japanese institution. Because there were so many people coming to join in the excitement, the police were even dispatched on the first day of school.
The classmates disliked her every time she went to school, she would make a sensation, and some perverts would hide in the women's bathroom to secretly photograph her.
The happy event of being admitted to a prestigious school has since changed, and Ryoko Hiroshi also took advantage of the increased workload to start frequently missing class.
At the same time, she was banned from dating by the firm, and even standing on the street to eat some food was criticized for not fitting the image.
The girl who used to happily nibble on philosophy books is now so busy that she doesn't even have time to rest, only output and no input, and Ryoko Hirosue has ushered in a stage of exhaustion-
After filming the role of her little sister, she gradually felt that her insight and energy were not enough, and began to think about whether her acting career was over.
No one told her what else to do on the road ahead, so much so that she naively ate 15 kilograms in order to get a respite, thinking that the firm would give her less work.
But there was no concept of vacation in the entertainment industry back then, and stars only had two choices: "retire" and "continue".
Ryoko thinks that if she withdraws from the circle, she will be sorry for many people, so she can only suppress the desire to withdraw and continue to be false and deceitful in the "dirty" world.
But repression does not mean relief, and her "rebellion" is reported with added fuel.
Finally, on the verge of 10 years in the industry, Ryoko Hirosue broke out in silence.
Almost with the idea of dying together, she revealed that she was unmarried and pregnant, and for the first time she forcefully confronted the firm, threatening to "withdraw from the circle immediately if she didn't let her rest enough", and got a compromise from the other party.
In October 2003, Ryoko Hirosue dropped out of Waseda, and in December, she announced her marriage to model Takahiro Okazawa.
In an instant, the media rushed to the girl like a vulture, but this time she stopped being with her and learned what it means to "escape shameful but useful".
"40 years old is not bad"
After the birth of her first child, Ryoko Hirosme did not have time to take care of the storms in the entertainment industry for 2 years.
Although her husband rarely spends time with their mother and son because he is busy with his career, the emergence of a new life is enough to heal her dry heart.
She brought the baby unkempt, and people turned on their backs, but they also felt the ordinary and real world, got out of the self-blame and self-loathing, and found that life is full of small luck, and she doesn't have to drill into the horns.
In 2005, Ryoko Hiroshima, who adjusted the pace of life, finally decided to return to acting with her original intention that had been lost.
But times have changed, she is no longer a "nasty female artist".
This unbearable evaluation as a teenager appeared in front of her in a degree that was several times more terrifying than at that time.
But Ryoko Hirosme is no longer the girl who does not know the world.
With the increase of experience, she gradually found that she did not have to care too much about the evaluation of others, and she could be honest and do things frankly.
Although the loss of popularity makes it impossible for her to play the leading role anymore, she can continue to enrich herself, stabilize the pace of life, and strive to interpret the role at hand.
Facts have indeed proved that strength is the most reliable chip for a career woman.
In the following ten years, Ryoko Hirosue reversed the public's evaluation of her with a series of distinctive supporting roles:
She is both the wife in "The Undertaker" who goes from disgusting her husband's work to understanding each other's career;
is also a cute and charming Beppu judge in "Legal High 2";
Or the beautiful Yuko teacher who will forever remain in the memory of "Double Dragon" in "Infernal Double Dragon"...
At the same time, she is the director, screenwriter and protagonist of her own life.
In 2008, Ryoko divorced peacefully from her first husband for personal reasons. Two years later, she married candle creator Candle JUNE Fengzi, gave birth to a son and a daughter, and became a mother of three children.
Like countless working mothers, Ryoko Hirosue had to compress her time to the extreme:
On days when there is a work start, I get up at 3:30 in the morning to busy with my own things, then do housework, make bento boxes for my children, and then go to the set.
At first glance, life may seem as busy as it was back then, but in fact, Ryoko cleverly keeps her work within her reach.
In addition, she has never given up on building her own space.
In her spare time, Ryoko Hirosue goes to read books, arrange flowers, make sake, and go on dates and dinners with friends.
At this time, she is not anyone's wife or mother, but a unique self.
In the blink of an eye, the time came to 40 years old. The beautiful girl of the past is already a middle-aged person who has been carrying things for many years.
She not only has a stable career, but also creates a very healthy family atmosphere:
"Our family convention is that a child's third birthday gift is an exclusive kitchen knife. When they get to elementary school, if they want to use cooking as a holiday surprise, they can realize this plan on their own. ”
In fact, looking back, Ryoko Hiroshima's experience is completely in line with the saying "growing up is a painful thing".
This is also the reason why many people envy those who grow up to happiness, and the longer we are exposed to the muddy and complex world, the more we can't help but yearn for the innocence unique to adolescence.
But Ryoko Hiroshi, who is middle-aged, may give us another answer:
Youth is beautiful, but progress in growth is also precious.
We can't change the world and past experiences, but we can choose how to face them.
1996
2022
Just as two years ago, when Ryoko Hirosue was approached by the publishing house to take a photo, she hesitated:
"Is a portrait of a 40-year-old really read? Even I prefer to see pictures of young people."
But in the end, she decided to take on the project:
"It would be great if everyone could read it and think, 'Ah, maybe getting old isn't a bad thing.'"
