HKT48's Miyawaki Sakura, who ranked 7th in AKB48's recent General Election, will release her first photo book "Sakura" on July 8. 

Miyawaki has been recognized as AKB group's "young ace". She claimed center position with Watanabe Mayu in last year's single, "Kibouteki Refrain", and played the lead role in drama 'Majisuka Gakuen 4' this January. Her first photo book was shot in 3 locations: Kagoshima, where she spent most of her childhood, Fukuoka, where she started her idol career, and Tokyo, where is she active as an actress. 

"Sakura" will feature photos of Miyawaki in school girl uniform and swim wear. It will also include shots from concerts and her audition, as well as "surprise shots".
