Former NGT48 Hiyo Honma's 3rd photo book will be released! Bold swimsuits and lingerie cuts too

■The title “Preparation” is a word that means “to prepare,” which is also used as a ballet term.

Hiyo Honma, who graduated from NGT48 and is active in a wide range of fields mainly in the acting industry, will release his 3rd photo book “Preparation” on February 14, 2025. The preliminary cuts that will be published in the photo book have been released quickly.

The theme of her first photobook after graduating from being an idol is “traveling alone.” The filming took place in Bali, Indonesia, at a huge resort hotel on Kuta Beach, in Ubud with its lush tropical rainforest trees, and in a privately rented villa in Canggu, an area that is popular among young people.

“This was my first time shooting overseas.It was my first time to go to Bali, but the people and the land were so warm that it became a special place that I wanted to go to again right away.” This photo book captures a different side of her than before, such as interacting with people and taking photos with the sunset in the background.

In addition to healthy shorts and dresses, there are also plenty of bold swimsuits and lingerie cuts in the open atmosphere unique to resorts. She consulted with the staff and selected the costumes, which had an atmosphere that she had not worn in previous photo books.

The title “Preparation” was also given by herself. “Preparation” is a ballet term that means “to prepare,” and now that she has graduated from the group, the title has become an expression of her future.

The photo chosen for the cover was a swimsuit photo taken by the pool of a villa in Canggu. With a colorful pattern of blue, green, and white, this piece is very typical of Bali. She also chose this.

A photobook handover event will be held at “HMV Esola Ikebukuro” on March 16, 2025, and at “Kinokuniya Bookstore Niigata Store” on March 23, 2025.

I am pleased to announce that I will be publishing my third photo book.
I’m very happy to be able to deliver a new photo book to everyone so quickly after the release of my second book.
This was my first time shooting overseas.
It was my first time to go to Bali, but the people and the land were so warm that it became a special place that I would like to go to again soon.
This is my first photobook since graduating from the group.
This is a completely different book from previous photo books.
I would like many people to pick it up and enjoy it.
