On February 12th, Yuki Yoda of the idol group " Nogizaka46 " appeared at a press conference in Tokyo to commemorate the release of her photo book "Yoda" (Kobunsha), which was released on the same day. Yoda, who will be graduating from the group at a concert to be held in her hometown of Fukuoka on the 22nd and 23rd, spoke about her plans for her activities after graduation.
She said that even after graduating from Nogizaka46, she will continue her entertainment activities, saying, "There are still many things I can't say, but I've received a lot of requests from fans to do various events, so I would like to do events that I couldn't do with Nogizaka46."
"I'm not very confident in acting or variety shows, but I like them, so... I'd like to try different things. I'll let you know again when I'm able to talk about it," she said.
When asked about how she felt about graduating, she said, "It's like it's coming to my mind, but it's also like it's not coming to my mind...It's a strange feeling to think that in two weeks I won't be gone." When asked about the graduation live, she laughed, saying, "I might give away some big spoilers!" and, carefully choosing her words, she enthusiastically said, "I feel like I've given it my all...There are lots of surprises for everyone and things that will make you laugh. I want to make it the best live concert, where people will laugh and cry."
"Yoda" is Yoda's third photo book and her first in about five years. The photos were taken in Cairns and Brisbane in Australia, and the book is full of the charm of "life-size Yuki Yoda" in the great outdoors with her favorite animals. She is also pictured in swimsuits and three different types of lingerie in photos taken on Fitzroy Island and at a hotel pool. A4 size, 160 pages. 2,500 yen
