Nogizaka46's Kawasaki Sakura Shows Off New Photobook Shots from Nice

Nogizaka46 member Kawasaki Sakura has given fans another glimpse of her upcoming debut solo photobook with new preview images shot in the French Riviera city of Nice.

The latest shots show Kawasaki enjoying time by the water, with the photos capturing a more relaxed, vacation-style aesthetic. The photobook, which currently remains untitled, is set for release on April 14th.

This marks Kawasaki's first solo photobook since joining Nogizaka46. The 22-year-old member, who joined the group as part of the 4th generation in 2020, has been steadily building her profile within the group over the past few years.

Solo photobooks are major milestones for Nogizaka46 members, often signaling their growing popularity and marking important career moments. The choice to shoot in Nice suggests the production team wanted to create something special for Kawasaki's debut solo publication.

Meanwhile, fellow member Endo Sakura is making her own headlines by gracing the cover of this week's "Weekly Shonen Sunday" magazine, released on February 10th. The Valentine's Day-themed cover shows another side of the popular member's versatility in different media appearances.

Both developments highlight how Nogizaka46 continues to provide individual opportunities for members to shine outside of group activities, whether through photobooks, magazine covers, or other solo projects that help build their personal brands and connect with fans.
