Morning Musume. '22 Kitagawa Rio's 3rd photobook (untitled)

18 years old - Hajimete no Bakansu (First Vacation, Holiday ; vacances)

Kitagawa Rio, an active member of Morning Musume, which celebrated their 25th anniversary on September 14th, 2022, will release her third photobook in her fourth year since joining the group.
The theme of this photobook after graduating from high school is "My First Vacation."
The image of a moment at a resort hotel under the Okinawan sky or enjoying marine leisure activities on a cruiser. The image is of a slightly mature 18-year-old enjoying the summer with her friends, playing golf as a hobby. Includes not only swimsuits, but also one-piece dresses, loungewear, golf wear, and numerous outfits. In addition, her expressions have become more sophisticated, and it is hard to take your eyes off of her straightforward gaze, which is not only fresh but also a little thrilling.
Free from her school uniform, this is a book that you should definitely not miss as she changes from a girl to an adult woman.
Photography Tounoki Takao (Makino Maria 21, Yamagishi Riko, Ogata Risa)

She looks like a movie star. If she can act even a shred, UF needs to get on that.

Repeating myself, from another thread…

I know some people dislike Kitagawa because she's being pushed so hard by the management, or because she looks uncannily like a hybrid of previous members, or because she has an annoying personality or limited talent or whatever.

But y'all must admit she's beautiful. Not just idol-pretty but truly beautiful.
