Hina Kikuchi's 20th birthday was celebrated with the release of her highly successful 3rd photobook, "memory." The deluxe edition of the photobook was finally released today! When the deluxe edition release was officially announced on March 3rd, the number of pre-orders sold out immediately. Despite being a limited edition, all pre-order sites closed the next day, an unprecedented situation. This edition includes the photobook "memory" with a deluxe edition-exclusive cover, a making-of DVD "memories" featuring over 70 minutes of footage from a 7-day Australian location shoot, a limited edition photobook "memorial" featuring gravure photos of Hina Kikuchi from ages 15-19, and limited edition stickers using photos from the Australian shoot. The "memory" deluxe edition is a limited product, and pre-orders are flooding bookstores and online bookstores nationwide. It has also been announced that the first print run, combining the regular and deluxe editions, has exceeded 30,000 copies. This is an exceptionally large number for a gravure idol, and it's attracting attention as to how many copies will be sold. I cried after reading the interview at the end of the photobook. She spoke candidly and honestly about her life journey without embellishment, and I couldn't help but be moved. She talks about the reasons she entered the entertainment industry, her struggles with not being featured on covers for a while after starting gravure, her conflicts balancing modeling and gravure, and how she managed body shaping and weight control to make both successful. It's a comprehensive, long interview that addresses almost all the questions fans have had. Reading this, you'll immediately understand how wonderful she is, not just on the outside, but also on the inside. I opened my personal copy for photography, so the product for sale is unopened. This deluxe edition is a limited edition, so quantities are limited. The deluxe edition of Hina Kikuchi's latest photobook "memory," by the "Reiwa Era's Sold-Out Queen," who is active as an actress, model, and gravure idol. This is a permanent preservation edition that will become a legend, forever to be remembered. ☆ Includes a set of 3 L-size original photos as a special meet-and-greet bonus. #HinaKikuchi #Photobook #memory #Kodansha #SuicideNote, Public Release #Wingman #OshiNoKo #V.MARIA
