[Hira Minori]Becomes a new adult and vows to make a leap forward! In your 20s... "I want to work hard"

Model and actor Minori Taira will celebrate the New Year in 2025. He has become a new adult and is starting his twenties.

Taira was born on June 28, 2004 in Bizen City, Okayama.

In 2021, she was selected as the Grand Prix of “Miss Seventeen” and became an exclusive model for Seventeen, and started her entertainment career in earnest. In addition to starring in the stage play “Mukudomo”, he has also starred in the dramas “Oshi ga Boss ni Nishite” (TV Tokyo), “Marth – Zero Revolution” (TV Asahi), and “Ayaka-chan wa Hiroko-senpai ni Koishiteru” ( MBS), and the drama “That Dress-up Doll Falls in Love” (MBS).

In the movie “Taiyo ga Salty”, which was released last year, he played the role of the main character’s friend. The film is currently being shown at Central Cinema Sanko. In addition to being an actor, he is also active in various fields, such as appearing irregularly on MBS/TBS’s “Prebat” with his special skill of painting.

Taira will be on stage again from last year at the Avex Management Agency 2025 New Year’s Shrine Visit and Best Clothes Showcase held on the 10th of this month.

Taira said, “I was very happy to be able to stand in such a wonderful place with my seniors and people from the same agency.It was a milestone year for me, turning 20 years old, and it was a memorable year, so I was very happy to be able to stand in such a wonderful place with my seniors and people from the same agency. I was really happy to be able to stand there,” he said with a satisfied expression on his face.

When he took the stage to unveil his final clothes, he wrote the words “Forward” on a votive tablet. “I have had various experiences over the past 20 years, and I am who I am today thanks to the support of various people such as my family, friends, and people around me, so from now on, I will be able to make use of the experiences I have had so far. I wrote this with the feeling that from now on, I would like to do my best to move forward, even if only a little at a time, so that I can move forward little by little,” Taira said, expressing his thoughts behind the words he wrote.

On the day of Coming of Age Day, Taira returned to his hometown of Okayama Prefecture and participated in the Coming of Age Ceremony. Looking back on that time, he said, “It was a really great time.I got to talk a lot with my family, and some of the kids actually met quite a bit of their local friends at coming-of-age ceremonies, but there were some kids I hadn’t seen in a really long time, and they’re all adults now. I was a little worried that I might have changed, but it was really fun meeting everyone,” she says with a smile.

“My friends in my hometown gave me a lot of support and told me to do my best, which made me feel energized.” It seems like she gained a lot of energy from her hometown.

2025 will be a new step for Taira.

“This year, I hope to put more effort into acting than last year. Last year I was able to appear in plays and dramas little by little, so I want to make use of that experience and try my best to play a variety of roles this year.Up until now, I’ve been feeling quite energetic and full of energy. I think there were a lot of roles, so this year it’s the opposite. In other words, I would like to try playing a quiet role that is different from the energetic one, as if someone is struggling with something.But right now, I don’t really have a clear idea of what role I want to play, so I would like to experience a variety of roles. ” he said enthusiastically, drawing a clear vision.

When I asked Taira what kind of decade he wanted to spend during his 20s, he answered, “I think your 20s will be a very important year for any career in the entertainment industry, so I just want to work hard and not quit.” The number one thing is that I want to work hard. I think it’s probably over if I quit, so I want to try to move forward little by little without giving up,” he said, showing off his humility and honesty.

I look forward to seeing what kind of artist (expressive) Minori Taira will be, and what kind of influence she will have on the world.
