Comment from Hina Murakawa

I never imagined I'd get to release a photobook! It feels like a dream come true, and I'm absolutely thrilled! ^^

When I deeply reflected on what I want to convey right now, I strongly felt, 'I want to deliver my own version of kawaii!'

The staff told me, 'This is different from other photobooks—it's really special,' which fills me with confidence that I've truly expressed my authentic self. ♡

After 12 years as an idol, I'm so happy if people can enjoy my life journey through this photobook.
