On August 18th, actress Narumi Riko held a release event for her latest photo book, 'RICO DAYS', at a bookstore in Tokyo.

Narumi celebrated her 20th birthday on the same day with a birthday cake and champagne. "I'm happy. It's really delicious!" she exclaimed. Turning 20, the actress hopes to "get along with more people." She said, "I wonder if I'll be able to enjoy get-togethers more by drinking and talking together with the staff," and continued,�"I don't know much about alcohol, but I would like to try sake (rice wine)."

Looking back on the past 5 years of her life, Narumi stated, "I feel I've changed a lot during the 5 years. I used to be really strict toward people, but I feel that I've grown to be kind." The photo book features pictures of the actress in a swim suit. "Since it's a photo book, I thought I should wear swim suits," she said without hesitation. "I think it's a very cheerful photo book. I look adult-like at unexpected moments. It turned out to be a photo book that I want to show all kinds of people."

'RICO DAYS' is a commemoration of Narumi's 20th birthday. It was taken by up-and-coming photographer�Kawashima Kotori with the cherry blossoms in Tokyo, at the beach in Amami, in the snow in Sado, and at her home.
