Is this the Reiwa era’s version of “Nurse’s Job”?! A deep dive into the charm of Rhea Momozato, the influencer who’s also an active nurse!

On November 28, 2023, we issued a press release about our partnership with Rea Momosato on PR Times. In this article, we dive deeper into her (charm) and unique qualities.

Nexter
Thank you for agreeing to the interview, especially during such a busy time. We know you must have a lot on your plate with your work as a nurse and influencer. Do you ever get any time off?

Rea Momosato
Thank you for having me! As for time off… I don’t really have any breaks. (laughs)

Nexter
I thought so! (laughs) Thank you for making time for this. It’s impressive that you continue to work as a nurse while also pursuing gravure activities.

Rea Momosato
Both jobs are enjoyable, and I want to keep balancing them going forward.

Nexter
Balancing both must be difficult. They’re such different careers.

Rea Momosato
It was definitely tough at first, but now that I’m working freelance as a gravure model, I can manage my time more easily. I really enjoy both being a nurse and doing gravure, so it doesn’t feel difficult at all.

Nexter
It’s wonderful that you’re doing jobs you enjoy. When did you start doing gravure while also being a nurse?

Rea Momosato
It was about a year before the COVID-19 pandemic started. I was actually part of an idol group at first. For a while, I was juggling being a nurse, an idol, and a gravure model.

Nexter
So you were balancing three roles at once!

Rea Momosato
Yes! Eventually, the idol group I was part of disbanded, and I continued with gravure. That’s where I am now.

Nexter
I see! Through your time as an idol and now as a gravure idol, you’ve gained more fans and followers, which has increased your influence as an influencer, right?

Nexter
I also heard that your hobbies include “anime and manga.” What are some of your favorite series?

Rea Momosato
Yes! I especially love shonen (boys’) manga, like Inuyasha and One Piece. I’ve been re-reading them from the beginning. I’m a big fan of things that were featured in Weekly Shonen Jump!

Nexter
You’re into battle-type series! Do you have any other favorites?

Rea Momosato
In Weekly Shonen Jump, I like Fullmetal Alchemist, Bleach, Naruto, and more recently My Hero Academia. I love anime, but I’m especially fond of manga. I have around 1,000 manga volumes at home! (laughs)

Nexter
1,000 volumes is amazing! It sounds like you have your own personal manga cafe! (laughs)

Rea Momosato
I didn’t realize how much I had until I started collecting! I just wanted to keep them close by.

Nexter
I totally understand. I love anime and manga too, so I can really relate to that. Do you have any other hobbies?

Rea Momosato
I love sweets, so I’ve been going café-hopping since I was a student. There are so many cute cafés out there, so I often search for them on Instagram to find places I want to visit and try to take cute photos while I’m there.

Nexter
That sounds like so much fun!

Rea Momosato
I enjoy both eating and taking photos, so I definitely make the most of my hobbies!

Nexter
That’s wonderful. What are the things that are essential to your life, both for work and for fun?

Rea Momosato
SNS! All of it! (laughs)

Nexter
You’re the perfect role model for influencers! (laughs) It seems like you change the content and vibe depending on the platform. Is that true?

Rea Momosato
Yes, I change the concept depending on the platform. For example, on TikTok, I focus on posting frequently with funny or meme-type content that encourages comments. On Instagram, I keep it elegant and sparkling, giving it a polished feel.

Nexter
How about X (formerly Twitter)?

Rea Momosato
On X, I post more for a core group of followers. Since I’m a big anime fan and originally more of a “geek,” I tend to post more niche content there. Plus, I get the impression that a lot of my dedicated fans follow me there.

Nexter
That’s fascinating—how you tailor your content for each platform! I’m learning a lot. Given that you’re a nurse, a gravure model, and a manga fan (laughs), what kind of challenges would you like to take on next?

Rea Momosato
Since my Instagram followers have grown, I’ve been getting more PR opportunities from businesses. It’s really fun to help companies through Instagram and other SNS platforms. I’d love to continue balancing nursing and gravure while also putting more effort into PR work for companies.

Nexter
We’ll do our best to support you in your challenges moving forward!

Rea Momosato
Thank you! I’m looking forward to it!

Afterword:

Rea Momosato is someone who truly loves anime and manga. Despite her busy schedule, balancing her work as a nurse and gravure idol, she continues to thrive. We look forward to seeing her pave new paths as a modern-day nurse and gravure model.
