Sashihara Rino makes her YouTube debut

As YouTube has become another income stream for Japanese celebrities, and for former AKB48G members, doing really well, it was inevitable that former HKT48/AKB48 member Sashihara Rino would create her own YouTube channel.

For some, it was a surprise considering Sashihara said about celebrities joining YouTube, “When I see an entertainer who is not doing well, I think that’s the case”.

Also saying, “I don’t think I’ll do it for now. Some people are doing it for money rather than for a form of expression”.

But perhaps with the novel coronavirus still affecting the world, she had a change of heart.
