Japanese talent Anna Murashige said the secret to her physical fitness is her love for the atmosphere of the entertainment industry.
Murashige's comments highlight a psychological approach to health and fitness, suggesting that professional passion and a desire for career longevity can drive physical maintenance more effectively than strict dietary regimens.
During an interview with reporters on Monday, the 27-year-old [2] discussed the motivation behind what is referred to as the "Murashige body." Rather than citing a specific diet or exercise plan, she pointed to the environment of the industry itself.
"I really love the feeling of television stations," Murashige said. "The desire to stay in the entertainment world forever is what motivates me to work on my body."
While she maintains a professional physique, Murashige described herself as someone who frequently feels hungry. She said she often keeps gummy candies in her bag to provide a sense of security.
Instead of carrying a single pack, she said she typically keeps two or three bags [1] of gummies with her at all times.
This candid admission regarding her snacking habits contrasted with the expectations of the press, who were seeking a more traditional health or diet secret. Murashige said her primary drive is the "entertainment industry atmosphere," which she views as the core catalyst for her discipline.
“"The desire to stay in the entertainment world forever is what motivates me to work on my body."”
Murashige's perspective reflects a shift toward holistic motivation in the public eye, where mental alignment with one's career goals replaces the standard 'diet and exercise' narrative. By framing her physical maintenance as a byproduct of professional ambition rather than a restrictive health regime, she challenges traditional beauty standards and the expectation of rigorous dietary discipline in the Japanese entertainment industry.
