April Fools? I this turns out to be a joke, surely someone will die by my hand! 

What timing. Just bought tons of games and I finally pre-ordered the Kasai and Hawaii Nikki 3 books... Cancel em? Get all of them? 


Anyway, AWwYEAAAAAHHH!! 

This may sound odd coming from me, but I didn't really like Kingyo all that much. Hope this one will remain closer to the Rena that I like.

...and black hair please   

[Freshiness]

She looks pretty good in brown hair  though.

The title is ヘメレット which I guess translates to Hamlet?

Artsy.

松井玲奈2nd 写真集『タイトル未定』4月1日発売決定!

SKE48および48グループを代表するメンバーであり、女優としての活躍も期待が高まる松井玲奈。

個人名義としては2冊目の本、待望のリリースです。

従来の“儚げで可憐"なビジュアルイメージだけでなく、G+やブログなどでは飄々としたユーモアのセンスも発揮し、2次元や鉄道などのマニアックな趣味も全開の松井玲奈。

そんな彼女の魅力を個性の違う3人のカメラマンが撮影。

さらに、彼女個人のかなりマニアックな発想を反映させた記事ページも大充実。

企画段階から本人も積極的に参加しており、ヴィジュアルから感性まで、彼女の多面的な魅力を詰め込んだ“これが今現在の松井玲奈! "と言い切れる1冊になります。

Not just visual, but also with a sense of humor! It also mentions her 2D and railway hobbies. It's shot by three different photographers?


The 1500 yen price tag is the same as her first PB. Chances are high it'll be one of those oversized floppy PBs, like Kingo, Mocchi and Sasshi's PBs.
I don't like that format at all. I'd rather have a 2800 yen, smaller sized, hardcover. Aw well, we're super lucky to even get a second Rena PB so I won't complain, haha.

Cover?

[SomethingWild]

These are from FLASH but I assume they're PB previews since the set also includes the cover image.





Not to nitpick or anything, but who was in charge of lighting these pics? Michael Bay?!

Tons of highly over-lit pics and one unflattering, out of place b&w shot...

Why do they always try too hard to be artsy with Rena's photo shoots 

[winner]

Well, it wouldn't be a Rena PB if it wasn't a little artsy. And I've always said Rena has a great classy look. Maybe there'll be some great shots.
Boss: OK guys. We need to make this photobook special. It's friggin' Rena. We're not making a cheap gravure bikini girl pb full of cleavage and butt shots.
Man 1: Yeah! Let's surprise those Rena fans!

Man 2: How about we put her in a huge fish bowl!
Boss: We've done that.
Man 3: We should totally stick her head into something. Let's stick her head into a bowling alley locker. That would be so hot!~
Boss: You're scaring me, man. And too bad, we've done that too.
Man 4: How about taking pics of Rena eating spaghetti. Not just at a restaurant, but also at home too. It'll reflect her public and private lifestyle. And reading books. Must have pics of Rena reading books.
Boss: ok... and?
Man 4: ... Have Rena eat bananas in the street.
Boss: OK, seriously. Can we please stop throwing ideas from her 1st photobook. I confess I kinda liked that banana shot though, let's keep that idea up for debate.
Man 5: Why don't we just do a whole load of retro 70's style pics to make it look all classy, and just mix in some shots of her kinda-naked in a bathtub again. Everybody wins!
Boss: You, young man, are a genius.
Yeah. Let's hope they balance it out a little.
