Kubo Shiori Essay Book: LOST LETTER

[Machine Translation] Fumiori Kubo, who will graduate from Nogizaka46 on November 27, 2025, will be releasing her first newly written essay, "Lost Letter. In her room, there were about 150 letters that she had written during her 9 years as a top idol, but had not been able to hand over. During a short summer vacation just before her graduation announcement, she decided to burn them on Yakushima Island. The book consists of an essay describing her thoughts and feelings during the trip and climbing the Jomon Cedars, and 17 letters written by Ms. Kubo, who is aware that she is a "person who does not want to be hated," condensing her life experiences to address the readers. In addition to a long interview in which she looks back on her life from her childhood to the present day, just before her graduation, the book also includes rare photos taken on the night in Yakushima when she gave up her letters and at the home where she wrote them. ( Comment from Fumiori Kubo ) For a long time, when I graduated from idol group, I wanted to make a book in which I would write about my life to date. I wanted to leave everything I have gained over the past 24 years here. How was I able to survive in the society of idols for 9 years with a mind that was overly concerned about what others thought of me? Why am I who I am? I would be happy if this book becomes a resting place for living today in a world that is difficult to live in.
