Description

[Machine Translation] Karen Hara s First Photobook: Shining Even Brighter Since Graduating from Her Idol Group This is the first photobook by Karen Hara, who graduated from NMB48 in November 2024 and is now active as an influencer. In this book, where she boldly bares her skin, the 25-year-old fully showcases her perfect body." The photoshoot took place in Bali. The team rented out a resort hotel with easy access to Bali s beautiful beaches and a villa in Ubud featuring an infinity pool surrounded by tropical plants. The book features a wide variety of shots from stylish shots that highlight her model-like figure and long legs, a result of her tall 169-centimeter stature, to bold, mature shots. She even tries on a string thong and goes braless for the first time; while the photos are quite revealing, the photo book maintains a refreshing atmosphere. The cover features a shot of her in red lingerie a string T-back that makes her skin stand out even more. The title, Direct Hit," was actually conceived by Karen herself during the shoot. [Comment from Karen Hara] I ve been dreaming of a photo book like this ever since I was an active idol. But I just couldn t bring myself to say it out loud. After graduating from NMB48, seeing current members release their own photobooks or other idols and celebrities do the same made me envious. I d think, Why couldn t I just say it? Maybe I could have been given that chance," and while I felt a bit dumbfounded, I d resigned myself to it. That s when KADOKAWA reached out to me. A year and a half had already passed since I graduated, and while I was anxious wondering, Will anyone even pick this up?" the feelings I hadn t quite given up on began to bubble up inside me. So I replied, Please make my dream of a photo book come true!" I traveled from Osaka on my own for numerous meetings whenever my schedule allowed, and they listened to all my ideas. They also prepared a huge variety of outfits for me. This has been a turning point in my life, and I hope this book becomes a special keepsake that reflects that!

原かれん1st写真集 どストライク / 原かれん/著

アイドルを卒業してさらに輝きを増した原かれんの1st写真集 2024年11月にNMB48を卒業し、インフルエンサーとして活動する原かれんの1st写真集。肌見せ全開で挑んだ本作では、25歳の彼女の「どストライクボディ」を存分に披露している。撮影地はバリ。バリの美しいビーチにアクセスしやすいリゾートホテルや、ウブドの熱帯植物に囲まれたインフィ二ティプール付きヴィラを貸し切って撮影を行った。169センチの高身長ならではの脚の長さが際立つモデル体型のおしゃれなカットから、大胆に攻めた大人っぽいカットまで、さまざまな彼女ををたっぷり収録。初めての紐Tバックやブラ手ぶらにも挑戦しており、露出は多めながらも、爽やかな雰囲気の写真集に。表紙には、紐Tバックで一層肌が際立つ赤のランジェリーのカッとを採用。タイトルの「どストライク」は、撮影中に本人が考案したもの。 [原かれん コメント]現役アイドルの頃から憧れていた写真集。だけど口には出せませんでした。NMB48を卒業してから現役メンバーが出していたり、他のアイドルさんやタレントさんが出してるのを見るとやっぱり羨ましくて。なんで口に出せなかったかな、チャンスがもしかしたら頂けてたかもしれないのにな。とどこかポカンとだけど諦めていました。そんなときKADOKAWAさんから声をかけていただき卒業して1年半と言う月日が経ってしまってて手に取ってくれる方はいるのか?という不安は抱えつつも自分の中で諦めきれてなかった気持ちがふつふつと湧いてきて写真集の夢叶えてください!とお返事させていただきました。打ち合わせも何回も大阪から自分でタイミングが合う際は来させてもらっていろんな意見を聞いていただき、お衣装も本当にたくさん用意してくださって。私の人生で転機となる出来事で、そんな1冊になって欲しいなと思っています!
