Maria Makino Photobook 'Blooming MARIA25'

Maria Makino, who will graduate from Morning Musume '26 and Hello! Project following the current spring tour, has had her birthday photobook 'Blooming MARIA25' (print edition released February 2, 2026) begin digital distribution today, June 17, 2026.

'Blooming MARIA25' was shot on location in Perth, Australia, under the theme of 'the answer at 25.' It delicately captures her inner transformation at this pivotal age through the interplay of light and shadow in Perth. From her relaxed, natural self against clear skies and oceans, to her poised presence in a historic theater, and even her previously unseen expressions blending into the city nightscapes—this work quietly overlaps the Maria of the past and the Maria of the future across diverse settings.

We invite you to experience this journey toward the 'answer' at age 25 through the digital edition.
