A few observations

• It continues to be the 'pure' Wanibooks releases that get put out as e-books again. None of the Odyssey photobooks have had the same treatment. We can probably conclude that the initiative came from Wanibooks and I hope UF will take a hint and start releasing 'their' PB's digitally as well.
• This is the first time that there's re-release of a photobook from a member in 'less than good standing' with Ogata Risa. Wanibooks it seems doesn't really care about the status of a members as long as it brings in the yen. That or this was all in the pipeline long before her hiatus from Tsubakl Factory concluded.
• Mano's release is always a welcome one, no doubt she'll make one of her retrospective posts about it. That plus it's probably her best photobook she ever put out.

Morning Musume. '21 Makino Maria's new photobook "Maria Hatachi", release is 2/22 2/2. To commemorate her 20th birthday, she went to three major locations in Japan to shoot for this book.

First, she went to Hokkaido, a place she loves as a baseball fan and a big fan of the Nippon Ham Fighters. Here, she wore a pure white dress in a western-style building in addition to the snowy scenery, expressing the mature-Maria that foreshadows the future beyond her twenties.

The next stop was Okinawa. As the gravure queen of the group, she wore a total of six different types of swimsuits, including the obligatory "black swimsuit for 20-year-olds", in a place she where is used to visiting for photo shoots.

The last stop was her hometown Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture, where she was born and raised. You can't miss the precious shots of her sweating it out at the ballet class she attended as a child, reminiscing in the classroom at her old school, and playing catch on the field under the setting sun. Present, past, and future - this is a book filled with 20 years of Makino Maria.
