It's been revealed that 9nine member Murata Hirona will be releasing her first photo book, "Tsubomi 3 Murata Hirona", in late-February.

"It's my first photo book, so I was very nervous, but I had a lot of fun. You might be able to see a new side of Murata Hirona," said Murata.

"Tsubomi" is a new series of photo books that feature actresses, models, and singers in their teens. Murata's photo book will be the third in the series, and was shot in Aomori and Tochigi.

Murata gave the appeal of her photo book saying, "It was shot at a school and in the snow. I ate 'nikuman' (steamed bun) in the pure white snow, and did all kinds of other things I normally wouldn't do."

Murata won the special award in "The 14th Vocal Queen Contest" back in 2010. In September of the same year, she joined 9nine with her singing skills and powerful dance.

9nine will release their latest single, "Shoujo Traveler", on January 25th. On the 28th, they will hold a one-man live at Shinagawa Stella Ball.
