In celebration of Young Magazine’s 36th anniversary, Hikari Takiguchi (drop) and Sayaka Tomaru (ex-FYT) have set up individual crowdfunding campaigns to make their long-awaited first photobooks become reality!
Their campaigns opened on June 6, 2016 and will run until July 20, 2016 at midnight (JST). In little over a day, both of them are already more than halfway to their goals of raising 1.5 million yen!
Hikari Takiguchi (drop)
Hikari Takiguchi was born on September 20, 1994 in Chiba and is currently a member of drop and has been appearing on television shows lately as a “tarento” as well. She has been given the title “once in 2,000 years beauty” (2000年に1人の美少女, Ni-sen-nen ni hitori no bishojo) by the media (who seem to love giving out such titles). The theme of her proposed photobook is “suki” (like/love) and will show Hikari doing things that she had always wanted to do but could not up until now.

Sayaka Tomaru was born on September 26, 1996 in Gunma. the video from her gravure debut with Young Magazine has been viewed over 7000,00 times. From 2014 she was the center member of schoolteacher-themed idol group FYT (Funky Yankee Teachers) under the name Risa Alexander until the group disbanded in 2016. The photobook will commemorate Sayaka’s 20th birthday and promises to show fans a unique worldview which she loves.
