■ “I hope that (the swimsuit cut) will be a cute cut that will appeal to girls too.” (Mao Asaoka)
The third preview cut from 22/7 Mao Asaoka’s first solo photobook (title undecided) has been released.
The two autumn photos released this time were taken in Ueda, Shinshu. One shows her in a school uniform with her “young bamboo green” color highlighted, and the other shows her in a fluffy swimsuit.
As Asaoka’s member color in her group is young bamboo green, there are many images of the color young bamboo green in the photo book, and the deciding factor for shooting the photos in Ueda City was that it has a young bamboo green station building.
The swimsuit shots were taken in an old Western-style building in Ueda City, based on an image photo prepared by Asaoka herself. The result is a photo that is feminine yet somehow coquettish, appealing to both men and women.
22/7 Mao Asaoka’s first solo photo book will be released on October 6th.
■Mao Asaoka’s comment
The autumn scenes were shot in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture. There was still snow on the ground when we shot, and I remember it was quite cold. In my long-sleeved sailor uniform, I rode my bike and played in the fallen leaves, just like I would on my way home from school! I think that once I turn 20, I’ll have fewer opportunities to wear a uniform, so I hope you’ll enjoy seeing me in my last teenage years. My mother seems to like this scene in my uniform and scarf the most! The pink ruffled swimsuit was based on my image that if I were to wear a swimsuit, I would want to wear a cute, fluffy one…! I hope it’s a cute cut that will appeal to girls as well.
