Nogizaka46's Kawasaki Sakura Announces First Solo Photobook 'Étude'
Kawasaki Sakura from Nogizaka46 will release her debut solo photobook 'Étude' on April 14, with commemorative panel exhibitions at additional stores featuring exclusive skating photos.

Kawasaki Sakura from idol group Nogizaka46 is set to release her first solo photobook titled "Étude" on April 14. The announcement comes with exciting news for fans, as additional stores have been confirmed to host commemorative panel exhibitions celebrating the release.
The exhibitions, dubbed "Kawasaki × Sakura Ten," will feature panels from the photobook along with special postcards showing Kawasaki in skating poses photographed in Japan. These exclusive postcards add a unique touch to the exhibition, highlighting her athletic background alongside her idol career.
Kawasaki Sakura joined Nogizaka46 as part of the group's 4th generation members in 2020. Before her idol career, she was a competitive figure skater, making the skating-themed postcards particularly meaningful for fans who have followed her journey from the ice rink to the stage.
The photobook represents a significant milestone for the 20-year-old member, marking her first major solo project since joining one of Japan's most popular idol groups. Nogizaka46 members' solo photobooks are highly anticipated releases that often showcase different sides of the performers beyond their group activities.
Fans can look forward to both the photobook release and the accompanying exhibitions, which will give them a chance to see exclusive content and collect special merchandise commemorating this important moment in Kawasaki's career.
