"I really love how she's honestly expressing her girlishness" – What is the "maximum cuteness" outfit that voice actress Kokona Nonaka shows in her first photobook?

Nonaka: Rather than hardship, a photo that was "taken with everyone's cooperation!" would be the photo with sparklers. (While showing the photo) It looks beautiful, doesn't it?

——Yes.

Nonaka: These senko hanabi (sparklers) go out in 5 seconds!

——What!?

Nonaka: So we had dozens prepared, and to capture the right moment, there was a line of staff members holding sparklers (lol). Everyone worked hard to take this photo, ready to "hand them to Nonaka-san anytime!" I'm making such a refreshed face here, but the behind-the-scenes was nothing like that at all.

——So with the hardship on site, it became a very beautiful photo. Speaking of hardship, wasn't the shot of you entering the pool in regular clothes difficult?

Nonaka: For me, the pool in costume was fun. Normally, you don't enter a pool in clothes, right?

——That's right (lol).

Nonaka: The way clothes float and sway is also different from swimwear. A picture was created where this part is wet, but this part is dry, but I'm a bit wet, and so on. Cool, or wet with water, or sweat... I thought it could be interpreted in various ways.

——It's a photo with a very wide range of expression.

Nonaka: It's hard to know what the result will be, right? Wearing clothes, getting wet with water, what kind of picture will it be... But it turned out well, so I think the photographer and others probably knew.

——From the perspective of costumes, which outfit did you like the most?

Nonaka: The cute gray scrunchy outfit that appears at the end of the photobook. I really love gray casual clothes and costumes. Along with that, it shows a little bit of skin. In a good way, it's maximum cuteness. Like this, I really loved the feeling of honestly expressing girlishness, and it was my favorite from the time of fitting. I was like, "I'm definitely going to look cute!"

Also, as I mentioned earlier, the wedding dress-like outfit for horse riding. Actually, if you look closely, you can see that this outfit is made in two parts, top and bottom. I didn't really know what it would look like until completion, including how the wind would flow, but when I saw it, this was the outfit with many favorite shots. It had the impression of a scene from a story.

And also, the outfit at Glover Garden that I mentioned earlier. I really love the feeling of being dressed up. It has an atmosphere like "going out together," right?

——It was very modest and had a young lady-like quality!

Nonaka: I hadn't worn an outfit with this kind of silhouette much, so I wanted to try challenging it a bit. The waist area is like a mermaid skirt, and it stands out a bit. That's also one of my favorite points.
