SKE48's Matsui Rena releasing her first solo photo book - 'きんぎょ' ('Goldfish')


It was announced that Matsui Rena would be releasing her first solo photo book, titled 'きんぎょ' ('Goldfish') in March.

Some comments by Rena:
「コンセプトが『もし、松井玲奈がアイドルじゃなかったら?なので、いつもと違う私をいっぱい見てもらいたい」
“The concept is, ’What if Matsui Rena wasn’t an idol?’, so I want people to look at my many different sides.”
「自分も狭いところや隅っこが大好きなので、入れておきたい感があるのかな?」
“I think I like being confined, because I like narrow places and corners.”
(Regarding the cover page where Matsui Rena is pictured to be in a fish tank.)

After waiting for so long... Rena-chan finally gets a solo photo book \(T∇T)/
This is a must-buy for me. Must support my oshi (favourite member of SKE48) first photo book!

Maeshima Ami to release her first solo photobook!


前島亜美 (Maeshima Ami) comes from an idol group called SUPER☆GiRLS, and it was recently announced that she would be releasing a solo photobook in 27th January, titled 'あみた' ('Amita'). This is not only the first time Amita (Maeshima's nickname) would be releasing a aolo photobook and is also the first time a member of SUPER☆GiRLS would be releasing a photobook! Am so excited about this!

The photobook will consist photos that were shot in Miyakojima, secret private shots of Maeshima Ami as a SUPER☆GiRLS member, and as a model of “Pichi Lemon”. There would also be a interview section. Amita herself would making an appearance at Fukuya bookstore (Shinjuku Subnade) during the day of the release.

I started to like SUPER☆GiRLS and following them when I came across their second single song, 'MAX!乙女心' ('MAX! Otome Gokoro'). I did have the impression of hearing their debut single 'がんばって 青春' ('Ganbatte Seishun') then but I don't really know why I gave the group a pass that time. Maybe due to my fandom in AKB48 being amplified to enormous proportions when AKB48 released their 18th single 'Beginner' and 19th single 'Chance no Junban'.

I only started to make Amita my favourite among the 12-member idol group when they released their third single '女子力←パラダイス' ('Joshiryoku←Paradise'). I did take note of her in the PV of 'MAX! Otome Gokoro' quite often initially, but it was this single's PV that make me come to the conclusion, 'This is it! Amita is my favourite in SUPER☆GiRLS!'. She is just so irresistibly cute, especially her voice! ♥

Congratulations to Amita for her first solo photobook! おめでとう!!
