Yurina Hirate

Artist

Yurina Hirate is a performer, actress and solo artist from Aichi Prefecture. She joined Keyakizaka46 as a first-generation member in 2015 and led the group as its original center, leaving a powerful impression on her peer idol scene with exceptional expressiveness and singular presence. After leaving the group she broadened her activity across acting and solo music, expressing her personality across screen, stage and sound. She performs 'Shippai Shinai Menhera no Sodatekata', the second-cour ending theme of the TV anime Watari-kun no XX ga Houkai Sunzen, a humorous love song that likens romance to a cultivation manual and pop-pitches possessiveness and jealousy, offering a worldview only she can embody where cuteness and unease coexist.
