Career

Music

Sasaki's musical career began on 11 May 2016, when she passed the auditions for new members of Keyakizaka46's subgroup Hiragana Keyakizaka46, which was hosted on the streaming platform Showroom. Sasaki, along with ten other people that passed the audition, joined Neru Nagahama in Hiragana Keyakizaka46 and was known as the "first generation".[1] Her first concert occurred on 28 October of the same year at Akasaka Blitz, where she performed Kanji Keyakizaka46's songs "Silent Majority" and "Sekai ni wa Ai Shika Nai", as well as Hiragana Keyakizaka46's own "Hiragana Keyaki".[2]

During her time at Hiragana Keyakizaka46, she has consistently appeared in every single between "Sekai ni wa Ai Shika Nai" and "Kuroi Hitsuji". She also appreared in every Hinatazaka46 single to date and a Sakamichi AKB song, "Hatsukoi Door", which included select members from the Sakamichi Series.[3]

Sasaki served as center (lead performer) for the main songs in both of Hinatazaka46's studio albums, namely "Kitai Shitenai Jibun" (期待していない自分, "I don't expect anything of myself") in Hashiridasu Shunkan (2018)[4] and "Azato Kawaii" (アザトカワイイ, "Cunning Cuteness") in Hinatazaka (2020).[5]

Other ventures

In January 2019, Sasaki was the main character in the music video of Aimer's song "Hanabiratachi no March", which was included in her 16th single.[6] In February of the same year, she became an exclusive model for the fashion magazine Non-no.[7] On 18 September 2019, Sasaki hosted the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards Japan along with fellow Hinatazaka members Kumi Sasaki, Nao Kosaka, and Miho Watanabe.[8]

Sasaki has a professed love of bread, which she incorporated into her official nickname "Miipan" (みーぱん, pan meaning "bread"), and has landed multiple television roles related to the food. These include the TV Tokyo drama Joshi gurumebāgā-bu (女子グルメバーガー部, Women's Gourmet Burger Club) with Ruka Matsuda and Maimi Yajima,[9] and her own cooking program Kaiten! Mi ̄ pan bēkarī (開店!みーぱんベーカリー, Open for Business! Miipan Bakery) on TV Asahi.[10]

On April 2020, Sasaki became a regular fashion reporter for the Nippon TV morning news program ZIP!.[11]
