The cover of "BLT March issue" decorated by Hinatazaka46's Kumi Sasaki and Mirei Sasaki, who announced their graduation from the group, has been released! Smile until the end, be innocent until the end

■The cover features a cut that shows a dazzling smile typical of “W Sasaki” facing us!

The cover image of “BLT March 2025 issue” (Tokyo News Service), which will be released on January 28th, has been released.

At the beginning of the cover of this issue, Hinatazaka46’s Kumi Sasaki and Mirei Sasaki, who recently announced their graduation from the group, appear as a pair.

Graduation is sad for these two who led the group for nine years as first-generation members, but it’s not like them to get sour just because it’s the last time. In fact, when the two appeared on the set, they were smiling and innocent as usual. After all, these two look good with their smiles. With this in mind, the cover image features a dazzling smile typical of “W Sasaki” facing us.

For the gravure shoot, we crossed Tokyo Bay by ferry. As soon as they boarded the ferry, they acted silly on the rocking ship, and after disembarking, they ran as fast as they could through the port, showing off their energetic behavior.

They were also photographed eating stew and huddled together at a cottage by the sea. Even in the calm atmosphere, the smiles of the two, who couldn’t help but be a little playful, lit up the scene from beginning to end. Finally, the photo session ended with the most emotional expression of the day at a location with the setting sun in the background.

In the interview, while looking back on the past since their time as Keyakizaka46, they talked about their memories from their nine years of activities, the reasons why they decided to graduate, their feelings for their juniors, and their message to Hinatazaka46 in the future. It is written in a large volume of 15,000 characters.

Hina Kawata from Hinatazaka46 also appears in the inside gravure. Kawada has completely become a member of the older sister group while still giving off an innocent impression, but this time we focused on her adult beauty.

In the interview, he talked about his feelings for the first generation members Kumi Sasaki, Mirei Sasaki, and Mana Takase, who have announced their graduation, episodes related to the “Happy Magical Tour 2024” Tokyo Dome performance held at the end of 2024, and his aspirations for 2025. There is.

In addition, Eisa Ikeda appears in the Nogizaka46 5th generation series. INUWASI’s Hanon Mayu’s gravure and
A close report on Rain Tree’s MV shooting will also be posted.

And at the end of the book, all 12 ≠MEs appear. A special issue featuring them on the cover will also be released.
