On July 22nd, Morning Musume member Ishida Ayumi held a release event for her first photobook "Ishida Ayumi"at Books Fukuya, Shinjuku Subnade store.

As it was her first time attending the photoshoot solo, Ishida said, "I had to show many different facial expressions, in addition to just smiling. I was just so nervous, but as the shoot went on, I started feeling better, and it ended up becoming a very me-like photobook."

When she was asked about her family's reaction, she said bashfully, "I asked my family to look at it when I'm not around, since I feel uncomfortable. I hope my father won't make any comments (lol)."

The self-titled photobook contains Ishida's natural side as a 16-year-old girl, such as herself in a school bathing suit, around a dancing scene, doing club activities, and around the scene of her going to school, and more.

Toward the fans, Ishida confidently commented, "I usually show my cool face on CD jackets, but for this photobook, you will see other expressions from some unexpected moments. You will be able to see a new side of Ishida Ayumi!"
