This time, I was able to release my first solo photo book!

I’m so happy to have been able to grab this big opportunity together with all my fans who always support me, and everyone in Riotsun Room who looks forward to my SHOWROOM broadcasts every day! Thank you so much!

I’m currently 15 years old and a first year high school student, in the middle of my adolescent and rebellious phase…lol.

I’m a student, a minor, and still growing. I think there are many expressions and looks that only the current “Okamura Rio” can show, and that I can only show now! I wanted to make a photo book filled with “the real, life-sized Okamura Rio” that can only be left now, so I had a lot of natural “now” moments taken! I’m really excited and nervous about what my first photo book will be like! I think it’s really amazing to be able to release my first photo book at the age of 15! I want many people to know about me “now” through my first photo book of “the real, life-sized Okamura Rio”, and I hope they will pay attention to me in the future! I think I will grow into a wonderful woman little by little, so I hope that I will keep it forever as a record of my growth. I hope that those who look at this photo book will feel warm and reminiscent of their first love…! I hope you will feel lots of excitement!

Overview

This is a self-produced photo book series by three regular students and one trainee (at the time) who won the rights at the “STU48 Solo Photobook Production Rights Competition Event” held on the live streaming service “SHOWROOM” in February 2024.

The last act was Okamura Rio, who won first place in the trainee category (at the time of the event).

Uniforms, classrooms, gymnasiums, school routes – set in an abandoned school in Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture, the film captures a variety of casual moments from school life and bittersweet scenes. In addition, a location shoot in Miyajima, which is based on the image of a “holiday,” captures her cute and unpretentious strolling around the island and eating her way through the city. There is also a two-shot with her beloved dog, Mei! The entire film was shot in Hiroshima, capturing the fresh moments of a 15-year-old that can only be seen now, in a “life-size” film.

1 book. Includes 1 postcard (3 types, random).
