Haruka Bando, who has been leading the group as its leader in JamsCollection, announced last year that she would be graduating from the group in March 2023. At that time, she commented, "Thanks to all of you, I was able to fulfill many of the things I wanted to achieve as an idol." However, there was still one dream she had not yet realized. This dream is clearly stated in her social media profile:
"My dream is to release a photobook."
To achieve her last remaining dream as an idol, Haruka Bando, a project began in the fall of 2022. Responding to her request to "have it shot in a classic style on a southern island, like an idol," the entire photobook was shot in Okinawa. Special costumes and photo concepts are included, inspired by her self-proclaimed "melon pan bust." Furthermore, as a culmination of her idol career, she has also challenged herself with bold exposures that have not been seen in her previous gravure work.
Haruka Bando's Comment:
I am so happy to announce that I will be releasing a photobook from Wani Books, which has been my long-held dream!
I am so happy to finally be able to announce this and share it with all of you!
While I was able to achieve what I wanted as an idol with the help of my fellow members, staff, and fans, releasing a photobook, a personal dream, was not easy. There were times when I almost gave up, but thanks to my consistent efforts on social media, my ongoing idol activities, my work with JamsCollection, and all of you who have continuously supported and cheered me on, my dream has come true.
I am so glad I never gave up on my desire to release a photobook from a publisher.
I am incredibly happy to be able to conclude my idol career in the form of a photobook, which was my dream.
This photobook, which I challenged with more effort than ever before, I hope many people will pick it up!
