Hinatazaka46 member Hinata Abe is gearing up for her first solo photo book, and retailers are rolling out their own exclusive bonus designs to go with it.

Titled "Kajitsu no Hohaba" (roughly "The Stride of Fruit"), the book drops August 4, 2026. It marks a personal milestone for Abe—she shot the project across two meaningful locations: Miami in the United States and Hokkaido, where she spent her childhood.

Each participating retailer is sweetening the deal with store-specific perks. There are 11 different postcard designs and 6 B3 poster variations up for grabs, all featuring photos that didn't make the final cut in the book itself.

Maruzen Junkudo bookstores and Tower Records are offering exclusive postcards with outfit shots unseen in the photo book. Meanwhile, Seven Net Shopping has special B3 posters with additional wardrobe variety.

About Hinatazaka46:

The group started in 2015 as Keyaki Zaka46's sister group under Yasushi Akimoto's production, initially named Hiragana Keyaki and later rebranding to Hinatazaka46 in 2019. They've grown into one of the major Japanese idol groups, releasing numerous singles and holding major venue concerts. The group introduced a selection system in 2024, dividing members between the main group and a sub-unit. Earlier this year, Hinatazaka46 welcomed their fifth generation members and released the single "Love Yourself!" under the new lineup.

For fans of Abe, the photo book represents a natural career step—she's been building momentum as a visible member of the group and recently served as center for the track "Kind of Love." This solo project gives her space to showcase a different side through photography, with the international setting and personal connection to Hokkaido adding layers to the visual narrative.
