A digital photobook composed entirely of previously unreleased cuts from “Todoke,” the first photobook by voice actress Suzuhara Nozomi – known for her role as Sakurakoji Kinako in “Love Live! Superstar!!” and as a member of the show’s school idol group Liella! – has been released today, May 26, 2025.
Suzuhara Nozomi was born on November 1, 2002, in Miyazaki Prefecture. She made her voice acting debut in 2022 as Sakurakoji Kinako in “Love Live! Superstar!!” and is also a member of the series’ school idol group, Liella!. Her other notable roles include Chiyori in “Tower of Sky,” Niwa Akari in “StarryMonogatari,” and Kuvera in “Brown Dust.”
Her first photobook, “Todoke,” released on February 12, 2025, became a hot topic, with a reprint announced just two weeks after its release. Set in Singapore, the book captures Suzuhara’s natural charm, as well as more mature expressions and looks not typically seen in her public image.
The newly released digital photobook of unreleased cuts from “Todoke” boasts a volume of 112 pages. It allows fans to enjoy various facets of Suzuhara’s charm, from a fresh morning look with natural makeup and cute school uniform shots, to an adult-like feel in a black dress that highlights her beautiful back. Additionally, the digital version of “Suzuhara Nozomi 1st Photobook Todoke” also became available on the same day.
The digital photobook, composed entirely of unreleased cuts from “Todoke,” the first photobook by Suzuhara Nozomi (known for her role as Sakurakoji Kinako in “Love Live! Superstar!!” and as a member of Liella!), is available for 3,000 yen (plus tax).

Suzuhara Nozomi
I never imagined I would be able to release my own photobook, so I was very surprised, and at the same time, immensely happy! I’ve always collected many photobooks of female idols and voice actresses, so I was truly delighted to have the same experience as people I admire, like Watanabe Mayu and Saito Shuka.
We shot in various outfits, ranging from an innocent atmosphere to what might be my most mature look yet. While there are some surprising photos like that, the shoot really respected my “true self,” so I think the overall result is very cute and energetic. I’m really looking forward to seeing the reactions of those who get the photobook, and I hope you find your favorite cuts!
The title “Todoke” straightforwardly means “May my love reach everyone!” I usually receive so many warm messages and a lot of love from everyone, so this time, it’s filled with my desire to return even more love than I’ve received. I thought being “do-straight”—completely direct—was the most “me.”
