Momoka Ito and first-time selected member Yui Kawamura of AKB48 appear in Gravure the Television vol.82, on sale January 29.
KADOKAWA will release Gravure the Television vol.82, which spotlights today’s leading gravure talents, on Thursday, January 29, 2026.
Beginning with vol.80, “I Want to See You Again in 10 Years” launched as a special project marking AKB48’s 20th anniversary. Keeping the title unchanged, it now focuses on members who will carry AKB48 into its 21st year. For its third installment, 19th-generation members Momoka Ito and Yui Kawamura appear.

Ito will serve as the center for AKB48’s 67th single, “Nagori Sakura,” to be released Wednesday, February 25, while Kawamura joins the selected lineup for the first time on the single. The gravure feature fully captures their appeal, from the natural smiles and playful expressions that only the two can show because, as they put it, they “often spend time together in private,” to shots that convey a composed, more mature side.
It also includes an interview in which they discuss what they felt through appearances at the 20th-anniversary concert and year-end music programs in 2025, as well as their enthusiasm about being chosen as center and as a first-time selected member on the latest single. The content offers a glimpse of their thoughts on AKB48’s future and on themselves.
Amazon.co.jp will also offer an item with a limited-design large-format bromide bonus.
