The Mini Skirt Was "A Bit Embarrassing (lol)"... Voice Actress Sayuri Date's 2nd Photo Book Shoot Was "Like Being Under a Spell"

——Thank you for that wonderful highlight! We asked about body parts, but from a photography perspective, do you have any favorites?

Date: There's a place where four small photos are displayed on one page, and those photos. The photo where I'm reflected through a bike's mirror. I don't think you see this much in Japan, but it was a bike just parked boldly on the street.

The atmosphere captures an everyday scene like fixing my bangs while looking at the mirror, but it's also a situation full of emotion that you can only do overseas, so I like it.

——The bike wasn't prepared for the shoot?

Date: It was like, we didn't know whose it was but let's try shooting (lol). While feeling a bit nervous like "I wonder if anyone will come," everyone was like "We don't know if we can use it, but let's try shooting anyway." I think it was a shoot we could do because we got along so well with the staff. They were people who had helped me in the past.

——It was quite a guerrilla shoot then (lol). But looking at it again, this composition of "Date-san reflected through the mirror," the idea is genius, I think!

Date: I was also surprised when they told me "Try peeking in a little." I was wondering "How will it turn out?" but when it was completed, it turned out so cute (lol).

——It's a must-see shot! Continuing with the questions, since your main job is as a voice actress, I'm thinking that being "a subject who doesn't speak" is perhaps a bit outside your area of expertise. From that perspective, did you find anything difficult?

Date: Of course there were difficult parts, but the power of those around me was amazing, so I was able to shoot while having fun.
