Summer is finally here thanks to actress Ishihara Satomi and her gorgeous pictorial for Weekly Playboy this week.

Recently, Ishihara's popularity suddenly increased again without any particular reason. Almost like a second breakthrough, she caught the attention of many people due to her natural sense of comedy and healthy appearance on TV and in magazines. Many people also are amazed by the fact that she has become even prettier lately.

Her reason for looking much more adorable and beautiful these days?

"I have finally become normal, I guess."

In the interview with the magazine, she explained how she always had a stylist choose her outfits since she entered the industry at the age of 15, so she never really thought about clothes. One year ago, she finally started to read fashion magazines and became more aware of her fashion tastes. Believe it or not, not too long ago it was her first time ever she went shopping simply to buy some clothes, a pair of jeans to be exact. Simply said, she finally started to express herself and her character through the clothes she is wearing.

Another reason why she finally became a 'normal girl' in her eyes, is that she finally found out what kind of music she likes, even though she had her own radio show a short while ago. If you want to know, she likes the duo Yuzu.

How many more 'normal' traits is she going to discover and how much more beautiful can she become from now on? At least her current beauty was saved for eternity by Weekly Playboy in the pictorial you can check out below.

By the way, Ishihara's new drama "Bull Doctor" is also going to start on July 6th.
