Kobayashi Aika’s Comments

Thanks to everyone’s support, the 2nd photobook has been decided! I am truly grateful to everyone. It has been approximately 3 years since the 1st photobook was released. This time, the photography was taken as if we are taking a trip to the snow world, and you will be able to see many pictures of me smiling and enjoying the situation! Moreover… I had cut my hair daringly for this photobook! This is my first challenge in life, and I felt that I had become more mature. I believe that the side of Kobayashi Aika that had yet to be seen by everyone, including me, can be seen here. So, please look forward to it!
