She's no longer an exclusive magazine model, which is probably why this is now possible.

ANGERME Sasaki Rikako will release a new photobook titled "Rikako Shoujo, Dai-nisho" (Rikako Girl, Chapter 2)

From 2017~2020, sees her change from a girl to an adult. This is the memory during these past 3 years.

Sasaki Rikako, who is also active as a model, will release her first solo photobook in five years, and will be released on her 19th birthday. This photobook is a compilation of her last teen years and after graduating from high school this Spring. Her three years is summarized by photographer Saku Sawatari.

It started from beginning of Winter 2017. Just before graduating from Junior high school, she was photographed in Gunma prefecture where the snow left deep smiles.

Next she was photographed during 2nd year as a high school student. It was a chilly spring in Tokyo. The highlight is her swaying expressions between a girl and an adult.

As a High school 3rd year. She started to more of an adult woman, photos taken in Tokyo and Okinawa.

Sasaki Rikako's "Girl, Chapter 1" was before she became the idol, and "Chapter 2" is when she joined ANGERME and made a leap as an idol for three years.

Each one the photos is impressive and memorable.

Juice=Juice Miyamoto Karin's graduation photobook "RIN"

Miyamoto Karin is graduating from Hello! Project and Juice=Juice in June. The release of this graduation photobook is a culmination of the idol life.
It's been a year and a half since the photobook "Kakusei" captured the face of Miyamoto Karin through four seasons.
This work is set in Yakushima, a mysterious island, and reflects her inner and future self in a fantastic landscape full of hope.
Deep forest, moss, flowers, water, flame, a pure white world... Miyamoto Karin recalls the twists and turns of the time spent in the Hello! Project, the light that shines brings hope for the future.
The title "RIN" is still unfinished because she is determined to be a "Rin"
I would like many people who have been watching her for over 10 years to witness this moment of the idol Miyamoto Karin.

Includes making DVD. Photography by Saijo Akihito

That one with her in the white dress would have been such a nice cover for the photobook.

From the article it seems this is going to be a Goto Maki 'go to natura' style photobook. The word 'hair nude' comes up multiple times.
