A second set of unreleased images and a comment from former NGT48 member Saya Kawagoe arrive with the digital photobook.
KADOKAWA Corporation (President and Representative Executive Officer and CEO: Takeshi Natsuno; headquarters: Chiyoda, Tokyo) has released Nantoka Narukamo, a digital photobook composed entirely of alternate cuts from former NGT48 member Saya Kawagoe’s first photobook, Nantoka Narunaru (print and digital editions).

The all-alternate-cut digital edition can be considered a sequel to the first photobook, which was released on Kawagoe’s birthday, October 14, last year. With a stronger focus on the appeal of gravure, it has been structured differently from the print photobook and finished as a book that gravure fans can thoroughly enjoy.
The book contains only lingerie and swimsuit shots selected from the outfits worn for the first photobook. The number of pages for each outfit has also been greatly expanded compared with the print edition. Kawagoe herself selected cuts that were reluctantly left out of the print edition because of page limits, as well as bold cuts judged possible to include precisely because this is a digital release. It is a work more specialized in gravure and distinct from the print edition.
Four cuts are being released this time: a red lingerie look with a striking bold pose; a pink lingerie look photographed on the terrace of a villa with an overseas feel; a cute cosplay look in which she becomes Usaya, the rabbit character she created; and a black sheer one-piece dress.
For the cover, Kawagoe chose light-blue lingerie in the color of her glow sticks from her active idol days, along with an orange title design. She completed the book with close attention to every detail. Please check it out together with her first photobook, Nantoka Narunaru.

Nantoka Narukamo, the all-alternate-cut digital edition, is packed with cuts I wondered about including in the main book, so you should absolutely check it out!
I would be happy if you look at it together with Nantoka Narukamo!
