On October 27th, model / actress Karina held a release event for her new photo book, “One.“.
The photo book features pictures of Karina in an immaculate wedding dress. Karina has modeled many wedding dresses in the past, and even produces them herself. When reporters mentioned the jinx, ‘if you wear a wedding dress before getting married, your chance of marriage will be delayed’, Karina responded with a bitter smile and said, “There is pressure.” Regarding prospects of her own marriage, she shared, “I would like to get married someday, but I’m not in a hurry,” and continued, “If I had a partner, I would immediately wear a wedding dress. I will do my best!”
Karina currently stars in the ‘Getsu9′ drama, “Watashi ga Renai Dekinai Riyuu“, as a woman who fails at love. She described her actual love life with, “If I was good at love, I would already be married. It depends on the time and place, but maybe I’m not good at it.” She also expressed, “You never know what could happen in life, so you have to live today to the fullest, and bear fruit. Through the drama, I want to study about love and hope to go with the natural flow.”
“One.” is a collection of photos from Karina’s everyday lifestyle. It contains her recommended fashion, hair style, and private items. Karina also provided a few of the photos herself, like the two-shot that she took with her dog. She promoted the photo book saying, “Not only do I want women to see it, but men as well.”

On March 5, it was revealed that actress Karina will be the face of Takara Shuzo’s new alcoholic gelatin beverage “Carina” and that she will appear in a new CM for the drink.
This is a new type of a liquor drink, as they’ve created a new texture with the gelatine. Three flavors – Mango, Peach, and Umeshu – will go on sale starting March 26. The drink is marketed towards women and thus, uses the name “Carina”, the Italian word for “pretty”, as the product’s name.
Karina spoke excitedly about her name and her face being used for a new product: “I was shocked [when I found out] that the drink’s name is the same as mine!! But, to be honest, I was quite elated!” She commented about the product saying, “It is a new type of alcoholic beverage that you shake before drinking it, so I think it would be fun to drink this at parties♪”
Her CM will be broadcast starting in April.
