“Gravure Champion” VOL.4, in which Hinatazaka46 Miku Kanemura appears for the first time and graces the cover, was released on April 30th.

In January, she announced that she is currently studying at Nihon University College of Art, Department of Photography, and was photographed with the theme of “taking pictures and being photographed.” She also includes an 8,000-character long interview in which she talks about university announcements, photos, the selection system introduced for the first time in her latest single, and the dreams she wants to achieve.

The back cover and special feature at the end of the book feature Matsuda Konoka, also from Hinatazaka46. The special feature at the end of the book also includes a long interview that talks about the graduation of the first generation, the meaning of the “goals” set by all members, and the five years of the group, in addition to a large gravure photo.

It also comes with a double-sided poster of Kanemura, making it a truly special issue of Hinatazaka 46. To commemorate the release of this issue, some cuts of Kanemura & Matsuda have been released.

Thank you for letting me be on the cover! I brought my usual camera with me, and it was very refreshing to be able to be photographed. In fact, some of the photos I took of myself were used in the magazine, so please look for them (lol)

Thank you for letting me perform for the first time! Actually, I had just cut my hair the day before the shoot, so I think it would be nice if he looked good in a boyish T-shirt (lol)
