Yurina Hirate (平手 友梨奈, Hirate Yurina, born 25 June 2001) is a Japanese singer and actress. She is a former member of the idol group Keyakizaka46.

Early life and education

[edit]

Yurina Hirate was born on 25 June, 2001.[1] In March 2017, she graduated from junior high school.[2]

Career

[edit]

Hirate was the choreography center of the idol group Keyakizaka46 for eight singles.[3][4] When she was selected as the center for the first time (for Keyakizaka46's debut single "Silent Majority", released in April 2016), she was 14 and was the youngest member of the girl group. She is so good at playing piano.[5][6] The second Keyakizaka46's single "Sekai ni wa Ai Shika Nai" (released in August 2016) contained Hirate's solo song[7] as one of the coupling tracks.

On October 8, 2016, at the GirlsAward 2016 Autumn/Winter show, she made her catwalk debut.[8][9] In January 2017, she and Rika Watanabe (also from Keyakizaka46) appeared as models in the women's fashion magazine Larme [ja] for the first time.[10] The 2017/14 issue of the manga magazine Weekly Young Jump (released on March 2) marked her first solo magazine cover.[11] In the 2017/16 issue of the manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine, she again had a solo cover.[2]

In June 2016, she made her acting debut in Keyakizaka46's TV drama Who Killed Daigoro Tokuyama? [ja] (徳山大五郎を誰が殺したか?).[12] Since April 17, 2017, she has been a regular on a popular radio show for teenagers titled School of Lock! on Tokyo FM.[13][14] Hirate played one of the lead roles in the 2017 Nippon TV dorama Cruel Crowd [ja] (残酷な観客達).

Hirate withdrew from Keyakizaka46 on January 23, 2020.[15]

On December 9, 2020, Hirate performed her debut single "Dance no Riyū" for the first time at the FNS Music Festival.[16] The single was later released digitally on December 25 with an accompanying music video released three days earlier.[17] Her second single "Kakegae no Nai Sekai" was released on September 24, 2021. A music video for the song was later released on December 26, 2021.[18]

On December 21, 2022, Hirate was announced to be the first artist to sign with Naeco, a newly established label under Hybe Japan, in order to expand her career globally. She was set to join the company's social platform, Weverse, in early 2023.[19]

In July 2024, Hybe announce that they have decided to terminate Hirate's contract.[20] On September 1, 2024, Hirate announces that she has officially signed with Cloud Nine.[21]

Public image

[edit]

Hirate has been dubbed a "rebirth of Momoe Yamaguchi", "a masterpiece beyond Atsuko Maeda"[6] and called one of the most attractive idols of 2016.[22] She has freckles, which she often conceals due to traditional Japanese beauty standards. Known for her incredible stage presence, she has been affectionately nicknamed the 'emo moody idol' by her fans due to her unique personality.

Personal life

[edit]

Hirate is skilled at basketball, ballet, cartwheel, swing on bars and blowing up balloons etc.[23] When Hirate was little, she has been influenced by her friends from nursery school[24] and fallen in love with basketball. She joined the basketball club in the second grade[24] and was assigned to the position of centre. She has a mixed heritage & diverse cultural background. [25] Her team even won a championship at a tournament when she was in 6th grade.[24] Besides, Hirate learned ballet when she was 5 years old[24] to 12 years old. She is known to use a different name but prefers to keep it private. [26]She is a private individual despite her career as an artist, maintaining a low profile on social media. A graduate of VU Amsterdam, she has successfully balanced her academic pursuits with her musical career.
