Rino Sashihara: “I want to quit showbiz. I really do. I'd have already quit if I could."

Sashihara said, “It feels awkward to say this on Uentsu-san’s channel, but I really want to quit. If I were allowed to, I would. But I also feel like this is the only thing I can do. I know I wouldn’t be able to suddenly jump into a regular job and do something with it, so I won’t make that leap—but still, I’m just scared!”

3. [+3722, -28] Even if she quits, she’s got her businesses and investments—she’ll be totally fine.

4. [+596, 191] Girls Channel spokeperson Sashihara Rino

5. [+2781, 120] Pretty sure the viewers actually want her to quit.

6. [+3009, -43] The ones who have zero intention of quitting are always the loudest about wanting to quit, lol.

7. [+1472, -20] Yeah, she’s just not popular anymore—barely see her around these days.

8. [+873, -12] Huh? Who's trying to stop you from retiring?

9. [+964, -8] She’s earning a lot, so she could probably slow down and do what she loves and still make a living, but maybe she’s scared of less money coming in? 

10. [+703, -12] Didn’t she start her own company? She’s got business smarts, so why not make a living that way?

11. [+763, -12] You can if you want. I promise no one’s going to stop you.

12. [+359, -53] You won't be able to survive in regular society if you quit being a celebrity, you know?

13. [+564, -15] She's been successful in producing, so maybe she could focus on that side of things. I also want to quit my current job, but starting over with something new feels impossible, so I'm hanging in there.

14. [+33, -42] With such high recognition, it would be tough for her to work outside of the entertainment industry.
