Morning Musume Makino Maria Photo Book

Currently serving as a sub-leader of Morning Musume. while also showcasing her individuality in baseball-related activities and variety programs, Maria Makino will release her latest photobook on her 25th birthday. The theme is "The Answer at 25." Set in Perth, Australia, this book captures Maria Makino exactly as she is now-neither a girl nor fully an adult. This work carefully portrays the emotional changes leading up to the milestone of turning 25, framed by the light and shadows of Perth. From her relaxed, natural expressions under the clear skies and seas, to her composed presence in historic theaters, and even expressions never seen before as she blends into the city's nightscape-through diverse locations, her past self and future self quietly overlap. In addition, many shots symbolizing "the current Maria Makino," wavering between purity and sophistication, are included. With textures that seem to be wrapped in light and spontaneous, natural smiles, the book allows readers to feel the journey toward arriving at her "answer" at 25. This definitive edition delivers her current position head-on as she continues to evolve both as an idol and as a woman. Please look forward to it.
