It has been decided that Sakura Oda, who will graduate from both Morning Musume '26 and Hello! Project within 2026, will release a photobook that marks the final chapter of her idol life. It has been 14 years since she joined as an 11th generation member of Morning Musume in 2012. Sakura Oda has continued to support the group with her overwhelming singing ability and expressiveness, carving out her presence within it. For her, a photobook has also been a precious place of expression, holding a meaning different from singing or performing. Facing each photo shoot sincerely, book after book,… Sakura Oda has deepened her charm with every experience, and that stance remains unchanged for this, her final one. Under Okinawa's strong sunlight, blue sea, and ever-changing sky, she reveals a dignified strength - a beauty that comes only from having kept running as an idol for 14 years - along with the unguarded, natural expressions glimpsed in unexpected moments. From girl to grown woman: as if overlapping with the 14 years she has walked as a member of Morning Musume, Sakura Oda faced her final volume head-on, carrying with her everything she has built up over that time. With 14 years of history, Sakura Oda's strength, and her whole spirit poured into it, this final photobook stands as the culmination of "idol Sakura Oda".
