The main character in this edition is the once incredibly popular beauty icon, the leading lady heavily promoted by "IP Agency." It was only after she left that [Minami Aizawa] took over. She sparked a lot of buzz by revealing her income on TV as a university student, and at the height of her fame, she suddenly retired. Rumor has it she married into a great situation; she is [Harumi Tachibana]. [Harumi Tachibana] was born in 1995 in Tokyo, Japan. She debuted in 2014 as an exclusive actress for "IP Agency." Although her breasts aren't large, she has a beautiful butt, a slim figure, and standard features, making her the quintessential beauty type favored by IP Agency. Before her official debut in the industry, [Harumi Tachibana] released 4 impressive photo books in the year prior, which is absolutely extraordinary treatment. Apparently, it all started when [Harumi Tachibana] was shopping at a mall and got approached by a scout who straight-up asked if she wanted to enter the industry, but she turned it down. So, the scout switched tactics and suggested, "How about taking some photos?" Well, she agreed to that, but little did she know, those photos turned into 4 impressive photo books, showing just how patient "IP Agency" was in getting her to dive in. In February 2014, [Harumi Tachibana] made her official debut with "FIRST IMPRESSION 78." But the setup from IP Agency portrayed her as a current university student, and that wasn't just hype—it was real. At first, [Harumi Tachibana] planned to keep her university student identity under wraps, but she got recognized online, and her identity was leaked. Since it was out there, they decided to make use of it. Maybe because she was a university student, her initial performances were a bit shy, but she quickly got into the groove—that's probably her natural talent. Thanks to the heavy promotion from "IP Agency," [Harumi Tachibana] often appeared on TV shows, and the most well-known one was her segment on Tokyo TV's "Payslip" program. This show basically investigates how much people in different industries earn, and while it's a bit nosy and pointless, we're still curious about it. After [Harumi Tachibana] said she was an actress, they asked about her salary. She revealed her monthly income as 1.8 million yen (which is over 390,000 NTD based on current rates), with 1.6 million yen per appearance (over 348,000 NTD), and 200,000 yen for interview photoshoots (over 40,000 NTD). Although we'd heard that exclusive actresses earn over 1 million yen, her 1.8 million yen monthly income was still shocking. I wonder how many university graduates felt ashamed hearing that, and how many current students thought about joining the industry? Besides TV shows, [Harumi Tachibana] also participated in wrestling matches, which were official ring events organized by "IP Agency." There was a wrestler named [Enka] who, after watching [Harumi Tachibana]'s works, ended up in the ring with her. Not only did [Enka] team up with [Harumi Tachibana] for tag matches, but she proposed marriage twice, only to be rejected both times. It was absolutely packed with entertainment value, but sadly, those events are no longer around. What's most regrettable is that as an exclusive actress at the peak of her popularity, [Harumi Tachibana] retired in 2016. There were rumors she was a student in the economics department at Chuo University, and her status as a talented woman became a hot topic. However, her very public career came to a quick end, and her own explanation was that she'd quit being an actress after graduating university and look for a regular job, like becoming a secretary. But in 2018, a classmate of [Harumi Tachibana]'s spilled the beans that she married a wealthy man just a year after retiring, with a super lavish wedding, and now she has a child. If that's true, her sudden retirement makes perfect sense. From what her agency said, though, [Harumi Tachibana] is indeed living a very happy life! [Harumi Tachibana] was the most important actress for "IP Agency" from 2014 to 2016, groomed as the future pillar of the company, and in her short two years, she definitely delivered impressive results. Too bad she was so outstanding that she got scooped up by a rich guy and left the scene early. It was only after her that "IP Agency" fully entered the [Minami Aizawa] era. Sometimes I can't help but wonder: if [Harumi Tachibana] hadn't retired, would she have been able to hold her own against any top-tier actress? Sadly, we'll never know the answer.
