Hinatazaka46’s Shogenji Yoko will be featured on the cover and opening special feature of “Gravure Champion” VOL.6, which will be released on October 31st.

“Gravure Champion” VOL.6 is a special issue of Hinatazaka 46. The cover and opening special feature features next-generation ace Yoko Shogentsuka, who was selected as the center for Hinatazaka46’s title song for the second time in a row.

The extra-large gravure at the beginning of the book was shot with the theme of Tsukasa Seigen’s “overwhelming feeling of being the main character.” In the super long interview, he talks about his selection as center, the 4th generation live, “Hinata Festival”, and his thoughts on starring in a movie.

And on the back cover and special feature at the end of the book is Rina Watanabe, who won the “Weekly Shonen Champion Media Award” at the Hinatazaka46 4th generation audition. The special feature at the end of the book is also an oversized gravure and long interview.

Additionally, a double-sided poster of Tsukasa Shogen is included as a special supplement. In addition, images of bonus postcards of each chain such as Tsukasa Shogen and Watanabe have also been released. This is a book worthy of being called the Hinatazaka 46 extra-large issue.

Thank you for the first cover. There’s no way he’s the main character! It was a really fun day to get out of the studio and shoot in various wonderful locations and costumes. Among them, the scene shot by the lake left a deep impression on me. Actually, I have fond memories of this lake… During a training camp when I was still a trainee, all of the fourth-year students once shouted out their feelings toward that lake.
