The Niji no Conquistador member’s December 7 release pairs HIROKAZU’s photography with a separate DVD edition and two planned Tokyo launch events.
A scooter ride and portraits in her everyday prescription glasses bring personal details into Mei Ishihama’s second photobook. Photographed by HIROKAZU in Taipei, Taiwan, the project follows her first volume by approximately two years.
Tokyo News Service announced the book on October 9, 2026, with publication scheduled for December 7, 2026. Its final title and cover will be revealed later.

The announcement’s photographs move between distinct settings: an orange patterned outfit beneath a low stairwell ceiling, a black-bikini portrait at the shoreline, pale blue lingerie beside a window, and a seated portrait with lavender tulle against a turquoise-toned wall.
The publisher says the book also includes bathing, shower and unclothed photographs, alongside swimwear and lingerie sequences. Ishihama holds a motorcycle licence, according to the release, and rode a scooter locally for the shoot.
In her accompanying comment, Ishihama described an overseas location shoot as a dream. She said she imagined fans’ reactions to the outfits and photographs while working in Taipei, and thanked their support for making a second book possible approximately four years into her entertainment career. She also described the volume as reflecting how she has changed since her first photobook.
The standard edition is priced at ¥3,850 including tax. A separate ¥6,050 edition adds a making-of DVD and different cover artwork; the contents of the book itself are otherwise the same.
The DVD edition is listed for Amazon Japan and Rakuten Books. Its allocation is limited, and reservation opening times may differ between retailers.
Two additional purchase arrangements are announced:
These arrangements were announced as of October 9. Bonus allocations are limited, and further participating retailers may be added.
Tokyo launch events are planned for December 12 and December 19, 2026. Venues, session times and participation details will be announced through TOKYO NEWS magazine&mook.
Ishihama is a member of Niji no Conquistador. She also appears in the film Tsurikomachi, which is scheduled for an advance release in Wakayama on November 6, followed by screenings in Tokyo and elsewhere from November 27, 2026.
