BEYOOOOONDS new photobook "Now and From Now On" Release event 5.30.25
Shimakura Rika promoting the photobook
In an interview with the press, Shimakura Rika says after her study abroad, she wants to stay with Upfront.
She also revealed that she would study abroad after graduation. 'I haven't told anyone where I'm going yet, but it will be for about a year. I want to learn English and broaden my cultural horizons.' She said that she would like to stay in her agency and work on her solo activities after returning to Japan, covering Showa-era songs.
I think I've done my best as BEYOOOOONDS, so I'm going to make a break and do my best as a second performing artist. I will do my best to hold a wonderful concert at the Budokan. I hope you will continue to support me until I graduate.
This time it was shot in her home prefecture of Ishikawa, in Kaga City. The photos in the book are carefully designed to capture the essence of the present, from the nostalgic scenes of the wind blowing in her hometown to her new self in her favorite place she has visited since childhood, to the beautiful scenery and scenes from a movie. This rare photobook, which will be released on her 20th birthday, captures special moments that are "on the way to the future."
