The long-awaited photobook, her first in about three years, is finally going on sale.
The locations were Yoron Island, which she had hoped to visit, followed by Okinawa’s main island.
The dazzling sun of Yoron Island welcomed Kitamuki, who says she loves the sea. The first shoot began against strong sunlight and the emerald-green sea spread out before her. She wore a yellow bikini, moving energetically across a white beach with a figure and expressive power that hardly suggest this was her first gravure work in three years. On a beach at sunset, she dressed up in a sequined bikini and impactful red lipstick. She fully displayed her mature allure in a dramatic scene.
At a traditional Okinawan house, she appears in white lingerie. The sheer material and daring thong make this one of the book’s striking shots that draws readers in.
On a hotel rooftop, she was photographed wearing a menswear-inspired jacket on its own. Along with her sensuality, smoky makeup and high heels also convey a cool, mature look.
In the bedroom, she boldly presents a bare-chested shot, one of the book’s highlights. Natural makeup enhances her translucent quality, giving her an indescribable beauty that is at once girlish and mature.
The book is also filled with highlights including shots that fully showcase her striking figure and nude-like scenes in a bathroom.
After breaking three years of silence and revealing everything, this special photobook marks the opening of a new chapter for Miyu Kitamuki. Please pick it up.
“I have been given the opportunity to release my fourth photobook, Omokage.
“As it had been about three years since my last photobook, from the time I was approached until I stood in front of the camera, honestly, my anxiety was greater than my excitement.
“But once the shoot began, I was surprised to find that the experience I had accumulated seemed to have naturally settled into my body, and my body moved before I had time to think.
“Being able to release as many as four photobooks in my life is by no means something to take for granted.
“It is thanks to everyone who did not forget me despite the time that had passed, who continued to support me, and to all those who connected me with this opportunity. Thank you very much.
“This book is filled with things that I can express only as I am now.
“I believe it has become a book that everyone will enjoy, and I would be happy if it reaches as many people as possible and is cherished for a long time.”
