[Idol Beauty Law] Before Shooting, I usually do 〇〇!♡ [Keyakizaka46]Watanabe Rika’s Beauty Secret

A big success as a model and an idol, Watanabe Rika a.k.a Berika. Regardless of gender, people who got mesmerized by Berika’s symmetrical face and eye charisma that draws you in appear one after the other. Even Berika whose face has a high deviation value, actually has done things secretly beauty. Ray editorial department investigated the curious anxious♡

Release of Berika’s Popular Cosmetology

Q. What is something that you always do for your skin?
A. No matter how tired I am I always remove my makeup.

It’s not something special but as a daily routine I make sure I remove my make up and take a half bath. No matter how completely exhausted I am, I always do these two. Also on my day off, in order to let my skin rest I do not put on make-up.


Q. What is something that you always do before your photoshoot?
A. I 「if I cool down, I flourish」（laughs）
It’s as the meaning suggests. During winter, before photoshoots I intentionally go outside and cool my body off. The photo taken is completely different. My skin color becomes brighter and tighter. That’s also why in the summer, before the photoshoot, I stand in from of the cooler and bask myself in the cool wind to cool myself down. I think my personal color looks better in cool blue-based colors than warm colors so maybe that’s the why.

Q. What does Berika think her charm point is?
A. No matter how much I sweat, it doesn’t smell. (laughs)
I actually just discovered it recently….XXXX….. But I can’t say it. (laughs) [Eeeh?! Now we are really curious, please tell us.] Ehー!... XX. Is this okay to say it? Awhile back when I was with the members, they told me “No matter how much Pe chan sweats, it doesn’t smell. Isn’t this a charm point?” [That means, the members were smelling each other out?] Fufufu Yes.

Let’s know more about Model Berika!
Q. Who do you admire?
A. Maiyan san!
I love everything about Maiyan san. When I became a Ray model, there was a time when we had photoshoot together. She was very cute!!!♡ I couldn’t bring myself to talk to her so I enjoyed taking glimpses of her. Instead of being a fellow model, I was just a fan. As expected, out of all the Ray photoshoots I did, it was the one I was most nervous. It was really a memorable photoshoot..

Q. You’ve been an exclusive Ray model for 10 months now, your impression?
Even now I’m still nervous
I’ve been a Ray exclusive model for 10 months already but I’m still no good at all. When I stand in front of the camera, I don’t know why I still get nervous. That’s why when I got chosen as the solo cover girl I couldn’t believe it all. Because it was a magazine that I’ve been reading since long ago so I was really happy and surprised. Since I heard about it 1 month ago, I’ve been nervous since. But because I became an exclusive model for Ray, during handshakes, fans wear the same dress I wore on the magazine and tell me “We’re matching～”. Things like these really make me happy! It makes me think that I want to work even harder as a model as well.

Translated this article about Pe. It's testimonials from the members about Pe chan's extremely cute side

Spoiler

【Keyakizaka46・Watanabe Rika】Nagahama Neru and Watanabe Risa exposes the「Secret」 behind Berika's extreme cuteness ♡

「If it's Pe chan, no matter she does she will be forgiven」from the members of Keyakizaka46 to the well-loved Watanabe Rika. We asked 12 members including Nagahama Neru, Watanabe Risa, Sugai Yuuka about the true face of Berika, who captivates everyone! Enjoy thoroughly the several too-cute testimonials ♡

Voice01
Nagasawa Nanako san

「During the rehearsal for Keyaki Republic's live, there was a test run for the water fountains. (Berika) she ran away to a very far location so as not to get wet but the place she ran away to was coincidentally the place where most of the water went. She got wet more than anyone else. 」

Voice02
Koike Minami san

「During the rehearsal for a Fashion Show work. Everyone was walking the runway while wearing their well-selected personal outfits and then Pe chan appeared wearing a T-shirt that had a picture of a bread. It seems she overlooked the sentence “come in your personal clothes” in the details. It seemed she brought her dance lesson wear instead. The members and the staffs burst out laughing.」

Voice03
Ishimori Nijika san

「She went to the Meat Festival alone！LOL」

Voice04
Moriya Akane san

「There is a core. Like the unique and fluffy aura, all of the members’ healing presence. But in reality, she has a side that iis strict towards herself and I respect that. 」

Voice05
Sugai Yuuka san

「Sometimes questions during a press conference are informed in advance, in that case she will think think of her answers in advance. Even when she is suddenly asked a different questions from the questions known beforehand, Rika chan responded to the question with the answer she planned, and it did not mesh together. I thought it was very (Rika chan)-like and laughed secretly.」

Voice06
Ishimori Nijika san

「A lot of times during live performances, we are supposed to turn right but she turns left instead. LOL」

Voice07
Ozeki Rika san

「She usually spills food on to her clothes. She laughs like “Oh I did it again” but somehow, for some unknown reason, that mishap doesn’t get known at all. She doesn’t get scolded. (lol）」

Voice08
Yonetani Nanami san

「She’s really stoic when it comes to things that she has decided.」

Voice09
Nagahama Neru

「She washed her T-shirt with a pocket Cairo (t/n heat pack), the iron got so stuck to her T-shirt.」

Voice10
Watanabe Risa

「"Truth is, her gag sense is really high. During free time in lives when she is approaching me, she always does interesting movements while calling my name. Honestly her weird face is really high quality. She is really funny. I hope someday everyone will get to know this"」

Voice11
Oda Nana san

「It seems she really adores the house flying in the sky using balloons in the Disney Movie『UP』She said wants to do it too someday.（LOL）」

Voice12
Uemura Rina san

「Inside the bus on the way home from the handshakes, Pe chan suddenly burst out『I forgot my shoes！』When I looked, it was the slippers for the venue. I wonder how her feet felt.」

My conclusion after reading today's HS reports

Pe always extends the time for her fans if the conversation is not yet over and she always asks their name! I feel like she's trying to memorize all of her fan's name. There's a lot of past reports too that Pe always calls them by their name.

Simply amazing!

Q If you could be reborn for a day (what do you want to be)？
Cat

No matter what cats do, they're very cute. I'd like to laze around the whole day while basking in the sun.

Q If your wish would come true？
I want to live in Disneyland

If I lived in Disneyland, I'd go play the whole day. That's why I want to buy an annual passport♡

Q If the world will end tomorrow？
Eat with my family

I'd like to eat my mom's cooking with my whole family gathering together. Maybe I'll have traditional Japanese food...
