On September 25th, talento Ogura Yuko held a handshake event to commemorate the release of her last photobook, "Kofukuron", at Fukuya Bookstore in Shinjuku Subnade.

Ogura, who became engaged to hair and make-up artist Kikuchi Isao, recently made the decision to graduate from gravure. She explained, "When I get married, I can't do gravure, so this is to commemorate the last of my single life." She also revealed that she will arrange an official announcement about her engagement, saying, "Right now, I am happy with whatever I do. Soon, I will be able to make an official announcement to everyone."

Regarding her gravure colleague Hoshino Aki's recent engagement to Miura Kosei, Ogura smiled and commented, "Everyone seems to be happy. We always talk about happy things." Ogura also shared that she's been attending cooking classes since she was 21-years old, and is very confident in her skills. She stated, "I attended about 7 cooking schools. He [Kikuchi] loves bread, and I wanted to see his happy face, so I obtained a license to become a bread adviser, and to open my own bread-making classes."

Ogura also discussed the troubles she� faced earlier with talent agency Avilla, who filed a lawsuit against publisher Kondansha seeking to suspend the publication of her photobook. "The trial ended successfully, and I'm glad to able to work again," she said with relief. "It was hard that I couldn't do the work I wanted to do during the trial. But I want to turn over a new leaf, and work hard while giving thanks to my former agency."

Shot in Hawaii, the photobook features various sexy shots, including Ogura's 'first bed shots'. She expressed, "I've never had the chance to take gravure in Hawaii, so I got to make my dream come true for my last photobook. It was fun from beginning to end." Ogura also pointed out her favorite photos saying, "I was praised that I have a nice back, so I showed it all."
