On March 2nd, the members of NMB48 held a release event for their first official guide book, "NMB48 COMPLETE BOOK 2012".

Member Yamamoto Sayaka, who will be graduating from high school this spring, commented, "I'm sad that things won't be the same anymore, my friend's are all taking different paths, but I'm not lonely. I will continue to wear uniforms."

Additionally,�Watanabe Miyuki expressed, "It's painful to part from friends, but I want to meet many people through NMB48."

NMB48 is the Osaka-based sister group of AKB48, who made their theater debut on New Year's Day in 2011. Following 'Team N', the group recently formed 'Team M' in January. The book features the history and introduction of NMB48, along with interviews of all 67 members of the group. It comes with a sticker and a specially made poster.

When asked about the highlight of the book, Fukumoto Aina responded, "When I saw the 2nd and 3rd generation members, I was surprised at the mature expressions they could make. Especially Murase Sae-chan. I like her sexy pose and how she shows her adult femininity."

Meanwhile, Kotani Riho said, "I was called the 'fashion queen', so I want to do my best." �Jonishi Kei added, "I'm pictured in clothes that the members picked out for me."

Finally, Yamamoto wrapped up the event saying, "It includes�a lot of things about the members, there is also information that fans don't know about."
