Gotta hand it to UF, they do know how to pick their thumbnails for these preview videos.

Fancy that: an ad for a product that in itself makes money.

Morning Musume. '21 Nonaka Miki's 1st photobook release event at Shosen Book Tower 1.15.21

And now for today's main topic!
Today we're going to talk about Nonaka Miki's first photo book "To be myself"

We are grateful to be able to release it safely.

Thank you for the launch event!
Many people came to the event, and I was very moved...

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

The outfit was plain clothes.
I curled up my hair and put it in a ponytail, which is a rarity for me!

The photobook for the event seems to be sold out!
I'm so happy!
Thank you so much（ ; ; ）

Now, since it's the release day, I'll talk about the photobook.

Many people around me have been asking me if I'm going to release a photobook.

Each time, I didn't know what to say to you.
When I look back, I was troubled each time
and I would give an answer out of my mouth...

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

On the other hand, it's hard for me to believe that there were people who have been waiting for me.
I can't believe it.
Thank you （ ; ; ）
Everyone is so kind!

So when I was told that I would get my own photobook, when I was given the opportunity to do this, I was more than happy. But to be honest, I was really happy that my fans were happy to see me get one.

And when we were talking about the photobook, one of the staff told me that Nonaka was going to be a big star, which made me a little happy.

On the one hand, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but on the other hand, I'm personally glad that I could do this at my own pace.

I had a long preparation period, so I didn't have to work super hard to lose weight just for the photobook!
I was able to steadily prepare for the photoshoot so that I would be ready for it any time.
I feel that it was a good thing that I was able to prepare for this.

I'm super confident in myself!
I'm not sure what to say, but I think I've done everything I can do right now,
and I hope you will enjoy this photobook of me as I am.

It's a little off topic,
but until now I didn't like the word "do my best" because it was a painful word.

I've been called a hard worker and a stoic many times.
I should be grateful, but why? I was thinking to myself, "Why?"

But recently, I have come to realize that it is a wonderful thing and an honor.

I may not be the most beautiful girl in the world, but I'm still a girl.
I can continue to do my best.

I would like to continue to improve myself at my own pace,
without being pushed around or rushed.

This is one of my goals right now.
I'm sorry for being so roundabout.

Anyway.
I am where I am today because of the people who support me!

I think I'm really lucky to have people who like me.

I'm a very weak person, but I'll do my best to be of help to you.

The year 2020 is the year that I shot my photobook, the year that I met my new self, and the year that I started all over again at the end of last year.

I'm a little slow getting to the start line.
I'll work even harder from here!
I'll do my best!

- Nonaka Miki
