Nogizaka46's Kawasaki Sakura Announces First Solo Photo Book 'Étude'
Kawasaki Sakura from Nogizaka46 will release her debut solo photo book 'Étude' on April 14, featuring four different cover designs showcasing her time in France.

Nogizaka46 member Kawasaki Sakura has revealed the title and cover designs for her highly anticipated first solo photo book. The collection, titled "Étude" (meaning "study" in French), will hit shelves on April 14.
The photo book comes with four distinct cover variations, all capturing moments from Kawasaki's time in France. The French connection makes perfect sense given the title's origin and suggests an artistic, sophisticated approach to the photography.
For international fans, Kawasaki Sakura joined Nogizaka46 as part of the group's fourth generation in 2020. At just 20 years old, she has quickly become a standout member known for her elegant presence and modeling work. Solo photo books are significant milestones for idol group members, often marking their growing individual recognition within the entertainment industry.
The "Étude" photo book represents Kawasaki's first major solo project outside of Nogizaka46's group activities. Photo books from popular idol groups typically feature artistic photography that shows members in a more personal, relaxed setting compared to their stage performances.
Fans can expect the April release to showcase different sides of Kawasaki's personality through the French-inspired imagery, with each of the four cover designs likely appealing to different collector preferences.
