Wani Books’ October 14 digital release features Hiroshi Fujiwara’s photographs taken before Hyodo’s first summer with Up Up Girls (2).
Before her first summer as a member of Up Up Girls (2), Minami Hyodo sat for the photographs that now form Setsuna no Luminous. Wani Books presents the collection as a record of her early months in the group, released as she approaches one year of membership.
The digital-only photobook went on sale on October 14, 2026. Hiroshi Fujiwara of Pygmy Company photographed the volume.

The cover uses a close portrait of Hyodo in white swimwear against pale bedding, with her name running vertically beside her face. The three accompanying preview photographs offer different compositions: a standing portrait in a black long-sleeved one-piece swimsuit beside tiles and wooden cabinetry, a reclining white-bikini photograph, and a red-bikini portrait looking back toward the camera over a wooden chair.
Wani Books says the shoot took place shortly before summer began, capturing Hyodo as she gained experience in a new environment and developed her expressions as an idol.
Hyodo represents the color red in Up Up Girls (2). Born on December 31, 2002, she is from Chiba Prefecture. She shares updates through her official Instagram and X account.
