Biography

In 2011, Sekine Sasara made her debut in the entertainment world as a Race Queen for Team JLOC, and was the youngest member at the time aged only 19.
From that time onwards, Sasara also modelled, doing a variety of shoots from cosplay to gravure.

Sasara joined Houkago Princess and Houpriyusu as a Candidate on April 4th 2015, participating in activities and helping to promote Houkago Princess as well as performing regularly.
On September 16th 2015, Digital Publication released 10 editions of Swimsuit Collections, numbered accordingly, of Sasara. Each release featured 30 pages of photographs of Sasara in various swimming costumes.
In October 2016, Sasara, along with Nagasawa Marina, Kamiya Airi and Kojima Mayumi, became a part of the third volume lineup for the collaboration fashion brand DORICHIM. The third lineup is also known as DORICHIMCOCONUTS for its collaboration between both DORICHIM and COCONUTS STAGE.

2016
On February 7th 2016, it was announced that Nagasawa Marina, Sekine Sasara and Kamiya Airi would all graduate from HouPriyusu, with the intention to create a trio together and pursue activities as a new unit. The girls would end their activities within HouPriyusu on March 20th.
However, on March 19th, it was revealed that Marina, Sasara and Airi had since formerly declined creating the new unit. After much thought and discussion, Kamiya Airi chose instead to graduate and instead leave the industry altogether. Because of this, both Marina and Sasara thought more about their futures, and decided instead to stay as members of HouPriyusu.
Following Marina and Sasara's reveal that they would continue in their activities with HouPriyusu, both members were promoted to Apprentice status alongside Mayumi, and would participate in promotions for Seishun Mermaid, as well as appear on their own CD version.
On August 7th, during Houkago Princesses final performance at Tokyo Idol Festival, the announcement was made that Sasara, Marina and Mayumi would all be promoted to the Regular Lineup, and debut in the groups 4th single, Himitsu no Tiara to Gelato. The members would hold their Coronation Ceremony on September 22nd, at Zepp Tokyo.
In November, Sasara, Marina and Nina traveled to Thailand, possibly to shoot new content for up-coming Gravure DVD's.
