S/mileage holds a release event for their first photobook

On October 11th, idol group S/mileage held a handshake event to commemorate the release of their first official photobook, “S/mileage (1)“, at the Fukuya Bookstore in Shinjuku Subnade.

During the event, the seven members talked about memories from the photoshoot and their feelings on former member Ogawa Saki. The photobook features the members in swimsuits, yukatas, and marine attire. It also includes the last memory shots of the four original members.

Member Wada Ayaka commented, “We’ve never gone out together before. However, for our photoshoot in Shinshu, we got to do fireworks and wear yukatas together. It was a good memory.” She also shared that her favorite photos from the book are the ones where they are playing with fireworks. She stated, “We did our best to the point where the fireworks almost touched our feet. We are glistening in the photo.”

On October 16th, the new sub-members will find out if they will become official members of S/mileage. The youngest member Tamura Meimi expressed, “We sub-members did out best together, so we want to all become official members. However, if that is impossible, I want everyone [the 3 original members] to downgrade to sub-members.” Hearing this, Fukuda Kanon laughed as she said, “We were just given a suggestive statement to downgrade, but I think you will be able to go even higher than the original members.”

S/mileage’s first official photo book, “S/Mileage (1)” is currently on sale through Wani Books at 2,100 yen (approximately $27 USD).
