The cover image of “20±SWEET 2025 JANUARY” (Tokyo News Service), which will be released on January 10, 2025, has been released. The back cover design and postcard designs of the 10 beautiful Hatachi women who appear in the magazine have also been released.

This book is a “sweet” new style photo book that uses high-quality gravure and interviews to approach idols who are running through the current “Hatachi” era.

Nogizaka46’s Ayame Tsutsui graces the cover, and a photo of her smiling kindly at us was chosen for the cover. It’s a cut that is very typical of Ayame Tsutsui, with a hint of innocence yet soothing.

The photoshoot took place at a temple that is surrounded by beautiful autumn leaves and is one of the most powerful power spots in the Kanto region, where the power of a tengu resides. While retaining a somewhat childish atmosphere, Tsutsui’s red long-sleeved kimono clearly captures her current beauty as she turns 20.

And this year, when she turned 20, she was promoted from a research student to a regular member, and we photographed her in a studio in a Western-style building where she is expected to make even more progress in the future. Wearing a long-sleeved kimono with a stylish pattern that somehow gives the impression of being AKB-esque, we captured Sato’s current sunny side, now in her 20s.

I headed to Nagatoro in Saitama Prefecture to take pictures on a sunny day.
