On August 6th, AKB48�s Fujie Reina held a commemoration handshake event for her first photobook �Reina Fujie Reina�s First Photobook�. She appeared looking better than ever, after an incident in late July where fellow member Minegishi Minami accidentally hit her eye with a microphone. The doctors said it would take her eyelid around a month to fully heal, but recently Fujie appeared at AKB48�s nationwide tour feeling much better. She stated, �It has already healed. I�m glad that the members and fans who worried about me congratulated me on my recovery�.

Moving on to her photobook, Fujie explained that photographing for this book was the first time she had ever been to Saipan. There is a shot of her wearing rabbit ears and a pink wig, showing a cute and youthful expression. She smiled widely, �Before I entered AKB, I wanted to become an idol and have my own photobook, so I�m glad that my dream has come true�.

Looking back and sharing her thoughts on taking photos in a swimsuit she commented, �When I first took off the hoodie and made eye contact with the camera man I became really nervous, no matter how much time passes, I�ll never get used to (photographing) in a swimsuit�. Her eyes shined as she explained her next goal, �I want to be a teen magazine model!� Fujie also has a lot interest in fashion, �I buy shirts for 2,000 yen (~25 USD) a piece and I like trying to find cheap things. I�m an idol, so I�m told that�s weird, but I love Shimamura�.
