It is announced today that ANGERME Sasaki Rikako will become the newest exclusive model for the popular CanCam fashion magazine. She will debut in the August issue, which will be on sale 6/23 (release day of ANGERME's new single). Congratulations!
ANGERME Rikako Sasaki will be joining CanCam as an exclusive model!
Sasaki Rikako of Hello! Project's idol group "ANGERME" will be joining CanCam as an exclusive model starting with the August issue of CanCam, on sale June 23! She will be the second CanCam model to join us this year!
Rikako has been active as a member of Angerme, and as a fashion model, she has been the exclusive model for "Pichi Lemon" and "Seventeen" (She graduated from Seventeen magazine last year), and has been attracting attention as a fashion icon for teenage girls. Rikako celebrated her 20th birthday on the 28th of last month and is now ready to move up to a more mature fashion magazine.
CanCam's editor-in-chief, explains her reasoning for the selection of Sasaki Rikako as the exclusive model.
'The moment she stood in front of the camera during the photo shoot, she turned on the camera and the things she wanted to express came pouring out one after another, and I was overwhelmed by the fact that she is a "natural expressive person". In addition to her coolness and cuteness, she also has an atmosphere that is unique to her and has many elements that people of the same sex admire. She loves dancing, she loves clothes, and she works hard at what she loves, which is exactly what CanCam is aiming for, so I'm looking forward to seeing her grow together with us.'
As the editor-in-chief says, Rikako loves clothes. She says, "I love shopping so much that I have a closet full of clothes, and I once bought a maximum of 20 outfits in one month LOL". She also has a great sense of style in the clothes she wears on her Instagram and other social media sites, and she is known to be the most fashion-sensed person in Hello! Project.
In her first photo shoot as a full-time model for her debut page, she wore a simple denim style and a colored pants one-piece dress in a mature casual fashion that was different from what she has worn in teen magazines.
Here's what she had to say about being a CanCam exclusive model.
'I'm excited about becoming an exclusive model for CanCam, wondering what kind of clothes I'll be able to wear, and what kind of new me I'll be able to meet, and I'm determined to do my best. I'd be happy if there is even one person who looks at me and thinks, "That's wonderful". I want to be someone who can give someone a dream!...No, I definitely will!
Her powerful and eye-catching performance on stage as Angstrom has attracted many people, even from a distance, but she is sure to be loved even more as a model, and will surely bring dreams and light to many people in the future!
The August issue, which is the debut issue of our exclusive magazine, includes a number of Q&As about Rikako. She told us about fashion, ANGERME, treasures, people she admires, and many other topics.
By the way, June 23, the release date of the August issue, is also the release date ANGERME's long-awaited new single. In these three music videos, Rikako's multifaceted charms, such as modest coolness, friendly cuteness, and exhilarating beauty, are sparingly shown. Don't miss them!
Like a sunflower growing straight toward the sun, Rikako is pure, bright, strong, beautiful, and full of love and charm. As the face of "CanCam", she is sure to charm the world with her new and different looks.
We look forward to seeing more of Rikako in the future!
