Hirosue shared a series of unfiltered, high-definition photos on her Instagram. The pictures show her casually dressed, lounging on a bed with a relaxed and happy expression. In her post, she announced the launch of her fan club “NEW FIELD” official website. According to the site, fans can join the membership to participate in Hirosue’s live broadcasts and community interactions, and stay updated on her latest activities. Until July 31, there is an early bird discount, offering membership plans at 2,940 yen for 3 months or 10,584 yen for 12 months.

Looking back at June last year, Hirosue was embroiled in a scandal involving an affair with Michelin-starred chef Shusaku Toba. She subsequently issued a handwritten apology on Instagram, addressing the public. Following this, her agency, FLaMme, suspended her indefinitely. A month later, Hirosue announced the end of her 13-year marriage with artist Candle JUN.

In February this year, Hirosue made a sudden announcement that she was leaving her long-time agency and establishing her own agency “R.H,” which attracted widespread attention. It is rumored that she paid a hefty sum as a buyout compensation. Now, with the launch of her paid fan club, she is not only testing the loyalty of her fans post-scandal but also demonstrating her determination for a vigorous comeback. Whether she will consider remarrying Shusaku Toba remains a question for further official announcements.
