4 types of covers released from Nogizaka46 Yuki Yoda's 3rd photo book! The title is decided to be "Yoda"

■“When I imagined that my fans would probably laugh the same way I did when they saw this title, I realized that this is probably the most like me.” (Nogizaka46, Yuki Yoda)

Four covers for Nogizaka46 member Yuki Yoda’s 3rd photobook, her first in about five years, have been released (regular edition, Seven Net Shopping limited edition, Rakuten Books limited edition, Kinokuniya Bookstore limited edition). At the same time, the title has been decided as “Yoda.”

■Regular version cover
Last day of filming in Australia. Photographed in a Brisbane hotel room in the morning light.

“The balance between the morning light, beige outfit, and natural makeup is very beautiful and I love it. It’s a photo that gives me a nostalgic feeling.” (Yoda)

■Seven Net Shopping Limited Edition
The photo was taken in a hotel room on Fitzroy Island, located on the beautiful Great Barrier Reef, about 40 minutes by ferry from Cairns Island, wearing a mature outfit of a black pearl sheer top and pants.

“The make-up and costumes are the complete opposite of the regular version, and I think the contrast is interesting. It looks more mature and sharp than usual.” (Yoda)

■Rakuten Books Limited Edition
A photo of me eating bread with fresh cream for breakfast in my hotel room in Cairns. This is an adorable piece with fresh cream on the nose.

“This is me as usual. What I have in my hand is bread from breakfast. By the way, I didn’t put the cream on the tip of my nose myself (lol)” (Yoda)

■Kinokuniya Bookstore Limited Edition
Photographed at Brisbane’s Southbank Square. This photo shows a relaxed look in the sunlight filtering through the trees.

“This is a photo taken in a square in Brisbane. The weather was nice and I was able to take a very relaxing photo. I like the impressive wall, tank top, and natural greenery.” (Yoda)

■Yuki Yoda comment
About the title “Yoda”
When I received several title suggestions, the first thing I did was It says “Yoda” on it. The moment I saw that, I burst out laughing. There were a lot of other great titles, so I had a hard time deciding which one to choose, but the first burst of laughter had a strong impression on me (lol). When I imagined that my fans would probably laugh the same way I did when they saw this title, I realized that this is the most typical of me. The comments on the obi also made me feel like I was having a conversation with Akimoto-sensei.
■Yasu Akimoto obi comment
When I’m asked to come up with a title for a photobook, I submit a few words that come to mind while flipping through the pages. Then, the person himself had to choose, but I didn’t expect Yuki Yoda to choose “Yoda.” I think this photo book is full of the charm of her sense of style.
