It has been revealed that Yuto Nakajima of the popular group " Hey! Say! JUMP " will graduate from his position as a regular model for the men's fashion magazine "MEN'S NON-NO" ( Men's Non-no) with the December 2025 issue. It has also been revealed that a photobook that will be a culmination of his career will be released on August 6th.
Nakajima has been a regular model for eight years, without missing a single issue since the June 2017 issue. The photobook is made up of "side A" photos taken at special locations that give a glimpse of Nakajima's true face, and "side B" photos that make use of her career as a model. The book also includes photos taken by Nakajima herself, who is also a camera lover, and a long interview in which she talks about her future plans.
◇Comment from Yuto Nakajima
This time, I'm going to release my first photo book. When I think about it, I've never actually released any completely solo content that focuses on me. So I think that through this photo book I'll be able to show everyone everything I've done up until now, the Men's Non-no I've planted. I'm really going to pack it with everything I want to do and give it my all! (laughs)
I'm very sad to be graduating from being a regular model for Men's Non-no after nine years this year. It's become so much a part of me that it's become second nature to me, and I've shot nearly 100 times, including web content. But it's because of all that time that I've been there that now is the perfect time to release a photobook, with a team I trust and the best environment in place. I feel very blessed, and more than anything, I know my fans will be so happy, I want to thank them right now (laughs).
I'm often asked, "How do you switch between being an idol, acting, modeling, and having a private life?" but to me, it's all me. In this photobook, in addition to the "A-side" of my natural face and the "B-side" of my on-camera life, there is also a hidden theme of affirming myself by saying "all of these are me" in terms of my various sides. I think it will be a large-volume photobook that will allow you to enjoy all of my various sides, so please look forward to it.
