The cover and title of the 1st photobook by voice actress Kokona Nonaka, who has gained attention for her role as Sayaka Murano in the anime "Love Live! Hasunosora Jogakuin School Idol Club," have been revealed. Her personal comments have also arrived.

Nonaka was born on January 28 and is from Nagasaki Prefecture. She passed the "Amuse All-Prefecture All-Applicant Interview Audition 2017 Kyushu/Okinawa Edition." She was active as a member of Sakura Gakuin from May 2018 to August 2021. She has appeared as a voice actress in various works, including the TV anime "Onipan!" (Tsuyukusa) and "Love Live! Hasunosora Jogakuin School Idol Club" (Sayaka Murano).

The photobook cover revealed today features a striking image of her in a yellow dress, immersed in a pool with a fleeting expression for the regular edition. The limited cover versions for specific retailers show her in her school uniform during her final year as a teenager at dusk, and another cute shot of her playfully holding a mask purchased from a traditional candy store with a cheerful expression. The title has been decided as "Utakata."

Kokona Nonaka's Comment

I have decided to title my 1st photobook "Utakata."

This word is used as a metaphor for "something fleeting and ephemeral," and I felt it was fitting for my final year as a teenager. When written out, it also has a sense of strength to it, which I found lovely, so I decided on this title.

I think the way this word resonates will differ with each cut featured in the book, so I would be happy if you could take your time viewing each one carefully.
