KADOKAWA Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President & CEO: Takeshi Natsuno) will release the 1st photo book 'Utsukushii Houteishiki' (Beautiful Equation) by Miyo Nomura (nickname: Miyomaru), a selected member of SKE48's 8th generation celebrating her 10th debut anniversary this year, on Monday, June 15, 2026.
Having joined SKE48 at age 13, Miyomaru is now 23. This long-awaited photo book allows fans to see not only Miyomaru in her full mature glory but also a cute side she rarely shows.
Surprisingly, she has taken on the challenge of gravure modeling for the first time, something she had previously sealed off. Despite insisting right up to the costume fitting that she wouldn't 'show even 0.01 millimeters of skin,' Miyomaru completely changed her stance, openly displaying her liberated figure and stating, 'I am truly happy to be able to leave a physical record of myself while I am young.'
She paid close attention to every detail, from the costumes to her hair and makeup, participating in styling she was completely satisfied with.
She was deeply involved in the production, actively sharing her opinions on photo selection, layout, and composition, resulting in a 1st photo book packed with Miyomaru's charm to commemorate her 10th anniversary.
The location shoot took place in Phuket, Thailand. Filming was carried out at a villa with an infinity pool situated on a vast property where one travels by cart, and at a resort hotel near Patong Beach.
Advance cuts include a back shot of her in red lingerie—matching her penlight color—and a red skirt. Furthermore, they reveal mature shots of her holding a rose in black lingerie, a light blue swimsuit revealing beautiful cleavage, and playful moments on Patong Beach wearing a pure white dress. A shot of her wearing a pink idol costume, specifically designed and custom-ordered by Miyomaru herself for this photo book, has also been released.
She also took on challenges she absolutely wanted to try, such as leopard print cosplay and a bath scene with floating roses. The book is packed with rare photos of Miyomaru, who had never done gravure before, making it an incredibly special volume that even non-fans will find irresistible.
The regular edition cover features her holding a fur coat in black lingerie, a cut Miyomaru specifically requested for the cover. The title 'Utsukushii Houteishiki' (Beautiful Equation) was given by Yasushi Akimoto to express Miyomaru's charm.
Three types of covers are available: the regular edition, and limited editions for 'Seven Net Shopping' and 'HMV&BOOKS online.'
Additionally, those who purchase from 'Amazon,' 'Seven Net Shopping,' 'Rakuten Books,' 'Junkudo Bookstore Nagoya Branch,' Osaka's 'TSUTAYA EBISUBASHI,' 'SHOWROOM,' and 'Kadost' will receive an exclusive raw photo as a bonus.
Furthermore, handover events to commemorate the release have been decided.
Events with limited bonuses will be held on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at 'Junkudo Bookstore Nagoya Branch,' Saturday, July 11 at 'Maruzen Nagoya Main Store,' and Saturday, July 18 at 'Junkudo Bookstore Ikebukuro Main Store.'
In addition, photo book panel exhibitions will be held at 'Junkudo Bookstore Nagoya Branch' from Monday, June 15 to Sunday, July 12, 2026, and at Osaka's 'TSUTAYA EBISUBASHI' from Monday, June 15 to Sunday, July 5, 2026.
