Rie Emoto, or more affectionately Emorie, is a local personality whose cute smile never fails to light up the living room through the TV.
She began modeling when she was in junior college and got into show business after passing an audition for a late-night TV show in Fukuoka. “I didn’t intend to stick with TV for that long. When I started, it was tough. But it allowed me to try many new things and meet many great people, and before I realized it, I was hooked,” says Emoto.
Overlooking Hakata Bay, Momochi is home to shopping centers, cultural attractions and residential areas, and it serves as a hub for people, information and culture. The preeminent landmark in the Seaside Momochi neighborhood is Fukuoka Tower, which doubles as a TV tower, and two of Fukuoka’s six TV stations, TNC and RKB, are located in Momochi.
