STU48 Kai Kokoa Second Photobook: Title to be announced

Set in the Land of Smiles, Thailand, this long-awaited volume fully captures the "current" Kai Kokoa without holding anything back. The locations are the vibrant capital city Bangkok and Phuket, one of Thailand's leading resort destinations. Reflecting her own journey of spending approximately one and a half years working in the foreign land of Malaysia, the story begins with realistic daily life scenes in a private house in Bangkok. From there, she sets off on a journey aboard a local railway, and in Phuket, the book features various shooting situations including her fully enjoying beaches and water parks, innocently sparkling with excitement at colorful theme parks and mysterious upside-down museums, and relaxing comfortably at Asian-style resort villas. In addition, this work challenges her greatest level of exposure ever, unlike anything shown in her first photobook or previous gravure works. The many heart-racing cuts strongly leave an impression of a new side of her. Alongside her bursting smile, the mature expressions she occasionally reveals are packed with charms that can only be captured from "the current Kai Kokoa." Spending carefree time playing together. Thinking she had always been just a childhood friend, yet for some reason feeling a racing heartbeat upon reuniting after a long time. A story evoking such faint yet certain emotional changes unfolds with every turn of the page. This volume has become a highly satisfying work where readers can feel her growth and brilliance. Her charm can be felt every time the pages are turned.
