Book Description
This is the first photo book celebrating the 10th anniversary of Ayami Nagatomo (Ayamin), a popular member of AKB48's 16th generation who remains active on the front lines as she marks her 10th anniversary since debut this year.
Ayamin, who joined AKB48 at age 15, has now blossomed into a 25-year-old woman. This book captures not only the classic idol charm-her cuteness, girlishness, and pop appeal-but also a mature side of her that has never been seen before. From the fitting stage onward, she personally selected outfits that would bring out her best features. She also paid meticulous attention to every detail regarding her hairstyles, consulting with the hair and makeup artist during the shoot and deciding, "For this location, I'll go with this hairstyle." She was reportedly deeply involved in the selection and composition of the photos as well. The shoot took place in Bali, Indonesia-a destination she was visiting for the first time. She carried out the shoot by renting out a luxury hotel adjacent to a private beach in Kuta and a villa with an infinity pool in Ubud overlooking the tropical rainforest. Preview images include shots of her walking through the streets of Bali in a light blue dress matching the color of a penlight, as well as fully matured shots of her wearing a yellow swimsuit (also in penlight color), a bright red bikini, pale blue lingerie, and black lingerie. She also took on a milky-white bath scene and a shower scene in sheer lingerie. Furthermore, the book features numerous back shots-a first for her-and the content is sure to surprise readers with its boldness. The cover features a shot brimming with transparency, showing her in pale blue lingerie. It is Ayamin's personal favorite shot, chosen by her. The title, "Unexpected Eyes," was named by AKB48 General Producer Yasushi Akimoto to express Ayamin's charm. The book also includes an essay written by Ayamin herself, in which she shares her current thoughts in her own words.

[Comment from Ayami Nagatomo]
I'm so happy to finally release this photo book, which has been a long-cherished secret goal of mine!
This time, surrounded by the beautiful beaches and lush nature of Bali, I was able to capture many different sides of myself!
It's packed with new challenges and expressions you can only see in this photo book, making it truly the best volume ever!
I hope many people will pick up a copy and make plenty of eye contact with the "Unexpected Eyes" found only here!

[Comment from Yasushi Akimoto, General Producer of AKB48]
In front of her eyes, I could be honest.
That is surely because of the light polished by the sweat and tears she has shed time and time again.
This gaze never betrays.
