Exciting Release Event for Kanagawa Saya’s First Photo Book!
On June 30, 2026,
Kanagawa Saya, a member of Japan's popular idol group
Nogizaka46, will unveil her highly anticipated first photo book titled
“Suki no Gradient” (好きのグラデーション) on
YouTube! To mark this special occasion, a live streaming event will begin around
8:00 PM JST on the official Nogizaka46 YouTube channel.
To commemorate the release, fans can purchase the photo book from
Sony Music Shop on the same day. The purchase will include exclusive bonus items not included in the book itself — a special B3-sized poster and a postcard, featuring unpublished cuts from the book. These exclusive items will be available only on the day of the live event.
Special Bonuses
Bonus 1
The first bonus is a wrinkle-free, full-color B3 poster showcasing a stunning shot featuring Kanagawa in elegant purple lingerie. Her expression, caught between a relaxed smile and a subtle intensity, captures her natural self-consciousness – a highlight of her photography sessions.
Bonus 2
Additionally, the postcard included as a second bonus features Kanagawa flashing her radiant smile against a picturesque Mediterranean backdrop. This photograph encapsulates her cheerful personality. Notably, the back of the postcard contains a QR code that provides access to a video where you can see more of her cooking adventures, particularly her passion for making salty bread. This unique bonus is not to be missed!
YouTube Live Streaming and Purchase Details
The live stream will take place on
June 30, 2026, starting at approximately
8:00 PM JST on the
Nogizaka streaming channel. Fans can buy the photo book from
00:00 AM to
11:59 PM JST on the same day via the
Sony Music Shop to receive the remarkable W bonus items.
Given the limited quantity of items, fans are encouraged to secure theirs early to avoid disappointment!
