Wauchi said working from a separate concept proposed by Sampei for each photograph made the shoot feel new to her. The wardrobe also introduced choices she does not often wear.
I tried outfits such as floral patterns that I do not usually wear, and I think I was able to express a side of myself that is different from usual. Styling such as pairing swimsuits with dresses is another highlight.
