On March 1st, SKE48 member Matsui Rena held a release event for her first photo book, "Kingyo", at Fukuya Book Store in Shinjuku.

Regarding her future plans, Matsui stressed that she wants to pursue acting, "I really want to do acting work, so I want to prepare myself by watching movie and plays."

She added, "I'm fine with being a 'goldfish' for now, but I want to become a person who will remain even after 30 or 40 years. Like a coelacanth. It would be nice if I could be a 'living fossil'."

Matsui revealed that AKB48 producer Akimoto Yasushi was the one who gave the book its title. She shared, "I thought the title would be my name, but I felt it would be embarrassing to say, 'this is my first photo book: Matsui Rena', so I'm glad it turned out to be a cute title."

Out of 6,000 applicants, 1,500 fans were invited to the event through a lottery. Matsui held a press conference before the event, where she commented on her very first photo book, "There are many photos that could only be taken as a 20-year-old. I think it's a photo book that includes a side of me that both fans and members have never seen before."

Matsui also showed her desire to grow saying, "I want to give it 100 points, but that won't give me room to grow. I'll think about my future and give it 50 points."
