Four favorites from the Phuket shoot
Photographed by Naoki Shimoda in Phuket, Thailand, the book includes what KADOKAWA describes as Nomura’s first swimsuit and lingerie photography.
Nomura chose four favorite images from the volume for the reprint announcement. They range from a glasses-and-plaid-skirt portrait on a pink chair to a poolside photograph, a red lace-trimmed outfit beside a window and a playful pose against a shark mural. These photographs will also appear on the December event’s bonus prints.
The release comes during Nomura’s tenth anniversary year with SKE48. She joined the group’s eighth generation in 2016; her subsequent work has included Coming Flavor and modeling as a Raygirl.
