The long-awaited 3rd photo book of Hina Kikuchi, "memory," is finally released! The photo book hand-over event at HMV Shibuya also ended with great success! The cuteness of Hina Kikuchi in person was simply extraordinary. Her face is small, her neck is long, and her arms are slender, making her look more like a figure than a human being... Furthermore, her voice is incredibly cute! The frequency of her voice resonates within the body. It was like the voice of Keisuke Kuwata, directly appealing to the Japanese DNA. "When you took a break from gravure for about half a year last year, I thought you might graduate... but thank you so much for not quitting and coming back!" I told her directly, conveying what I always write on this product page. The person who seemed to be her manager, who was next to her, nodded in agreement with my words, and she burst out laughing because it seemed to have struck a chord with her! About a year ago, around April of last year, Hina Kikuchi's domination of the covers of boys' magazines and young men's magazines had been continuing as a matter of course. However, she graduated from gravure activities at once when she became busy focusing on NON-NO model work and acting. With this trend, most people must have thought that she would follow the same path as her predecessors, such as Riho Yoshioka, Mio Imada, Moe Katayama, and Yuka Ogura. However, at the end of last year, after more than half a year, she made the bold decision to return to gravure in Young Magazine and Weekly Playboy. And what a feat, to release a photo book after exactly two years, since her 2nd photo book "moment" was released in 2023 when she was 18 years old. Her wonderful success and decision have brilliantly shattered the preconceived notion that "gravure is a job done only to sell your name and increase your recognition" and "a job you'll never do again once you can get other jobs besides gravure." I'm even moved by her courageous actions, and I'm truly, truly grateful to Hina Kikuchi-sama for overturning the past history. ☆ Hina Kikuchi 3rd Photo Book "memory" 3-piece set of bonus photos with the purchase of 5 books With making-of video QR code Rare both sets of hand-over event and online signing session - Title: memory - Author: Hina Kikuchi - Accessories: Bonus cards
