Nogizaka46 have ascended to the position of Japan’s top idol group in both name and substance, winning the Japan Record Awards at the end of last year. Yuuki Yoda (17), a member of the third generation who is regarded as the next generation ace, held an event for her first solo photobook, ‘Hinata no Ondo’.
昨年末には日本レコード大賞を受賞するなど、名実ともに日本のトップアイドルグループに登りつめた乃木坂46。その次世代エースと目される3期生メンバー与田祐希（17）が、１ｓｔソロ写真集「日向の温度」の発売記念イベント、お渡し会を行った。
Yoda has gained a lot of attention since joining the group in 2016 and being selected as a central member after last summer’s release of ‘Nigemizu’, their 18th single. This is the first solo photobook from Nogizaka46’s third generation members.
2016年にグループに加入したのち、昨夏にリリースした18枚目のシングル「逃げ水」ではセンターに抜擢されるなど、注目度の高い与田。乃木坂46の3期生メンバーでは今作が初めてのソロ写真集となる。
This photobook, the release of which was a surprise announcement onstage at Nogizaka46’s ‘Manatsu no Zenkoku Tour’ last summer, was mainly shot in Singapore. Yoda said in an interview before the event that she “Wanted readers to enjoy it ‘as if we’d gone on a trip together.’”
昨夏の乃木坂46「真夏の全国ツアー」のステージ上で、発売をサプライズ発表されたこの写真集は、その多くをシンガポールで撮影。与田はイベント前の取材で本作について「一緒に旅行に行った感覚」で楽しんでほしい」と語った。
Her favorite photograph was shot in the water off Indonesia’s Bintan Island, and if you look closely you can see the marks left by the snorkel she’d been using up until right before the photograph was taken. Its charm lies in what she calls a “Never-before seen nicely disorganized look.”
いちばんのお気に入りは、インドネシアのビンタン島で撮影した海の中のショットで、よくみると直前までつけていたシュノーケルのあとが残っているなど、「いい具合に崩れたいままでにない表情」が魅力とのこと。
Yoda’s photobook was also popular among her fellow members, with Minami Umezawa (19), from the same third generation members, pre-ordering a limited cover version, and Shiori Kubo (16) enjoying commenting to Yoda herself that “The way the water trickles is good!” about the ocean on each page.
そんな与田の写真集を、同じ3期生の梅澤美波（19）は限定表紙versionを予約購入、久保史緒里（16）は各ページ毎に「水の滴り方がいい！」などと与田本人に解説して楽しむなど、仲間内での評判も上々だ。
Nogizaka46 members Mai Shiraishi and Asuka Saito’s photobooks swept the same genre last year. The first printing of 100,000 copies of Yoda’s photobook has matched Shiraishi’s record, and the momentum of Nogizaka46 shows no signs of stopping this year either. Yoda herself also plays her first role as a heroine in the drama series ‘Mobusaiko100’, (TVTOKYO) which will be broadcast starting this month.
白石麻衣や齋藤飛鳥ら乃木坂46メンバーの写真集は、昨年の同ジャンルを席巻。今回の与田の写真集も、初版10万部と白石と並ぶ数字を記録し、乃木坂46の勢いは今年もとどまることを知らない。与田個人としても今月から放送の連続ドラマ『モブサイコ100』（テレビ東京系）
では、初のヒロイン役を務める。
Yoda spent the New Year in her hometown of Fukuoka, and said that “In 2018, I want to study acting more”, even though she is busy with concerts and events. She was moved by the reactions of her parents and friends to her photobook, who said “It’s really good. I felt reassured after seeing it.”
「2018年は、個人としては演技の仕事をより勉強したい」と話しながら、ライブやイベントでも多忙を極める与田だが、今年のお正月は実家のある福岡で過ごしたとのこと。写真集について両親や知人からは、「すごくよかった。これをみて安心したよ」という言葉をもらったエピソードには、感慨深い表情をみせていた。
In response to the standard question asked when a photobook is released, “If you were to give this photobook a score, what would it be?”, she prefaced her answer with “Please laugh”, and replied “…3.5 billion!”, impersonating Blouson Chiemi, who is well-known to her fans. The sight of her blushing before the group of reporters dumbfounded by the sudden occurrence was impressive.
写真集発売時の定番となっている「この写真集に点数をつけるなら？」という質問に対しては、「笑ってくださいね」と前置きしながら、「・・・35億！」と、ファンにはお馴染みのブルゾンちえみの物まねを披露。突然の出来事に唖然とする取材陣を前に顔を赤らめていた姿が印象的だった。
Nogizaka46’s theme this year is ‘From Nogizaka to the World’. They have scheduled a concert in Hong Kong next month.
乃木坂46の今年のテーマは、「乃木坂から世界へ」。来月には香港でのライブも予定されている。
Yoda smiled as she said that when she showed her photobook to her pet goat Gonzo at her family home, although he came close to eating it, he bleated happily. As public social networking services featuring candid shots from the photobook are also popular, it is gaining attention from demographics other than Nogizaka46 fans.
実家のペット・ヤギのゴンゾーに写真集をみせたところ、食べられそうになりながらも「メエ～」と喜んでくれたと笑顔で話した与田。写真集のオフショットを掲載する公式SNSも人気なことから、乃木坂46ファン以外の層からも注目が集まっている。
Just before the interview ended, the image of her confidently doing the “3.5 billion!” pose again and again at the request of the group of reporters who had figured out what she meant overflowed with her confidence as a member of Nogizaka46, who last year sold more than a million albums and performed at the Tokyo Dome.
会見終了間際には、意味を理解した取材陣の要望で、何度も何度も「35億！」ポーズを堂々と繰り返していた姿は、昨年ミリオンセールスや東京ドーム公演を実現した乃木坂46のメンバーとしての自信に満ち溢れていた。
Taking advantage of the popularity of the 3.5 billion men phrase as well as the launch of this photobook to expand her fan demographic, we can expect even more activity from her this year.
世界35億の男性人気はもちろん、今回の写真集発売をきっかけにファン層をひろげ、今年のさらなる飛躍が期待される。
