Great news for fans of Liella! and Love Live! Superstar!!! Sakakura Hana, known for voicing Onitsuka Fuyumi in the anime and performing as a member of the school idol group Liella!, is releasing her very first photobook. Titled Sakakura Hana 1st Photobook (Tentative), it’s scheduled to hit shelves on April 3, 2026. With less than three months to go, we’ve received a fresh batch of information along with some stunning preview images.

Who is Sakakura Hana?

Sakakura Hana was born on April 3, 2004, in Saitama Prefecture. She made her debut as the voice of Onitsuka Fuyumi in Love Live! Superstar!! and is also an active member of Liella!, the school idol group born from the franchise, where she shines in live concerts and events.

The Photobook’s Exciting Concept

This first photobook is themed around “A Belated School Trip.” It captures Hana enjoying a profound sense of escapism in the fantastic locales of Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Miyakojima—places you’d typically visit on a school trip.

The book features a variety of outfits, including school uniforms fitting for the concept. It promises to reveal new sides of her that fans have never seen before, making it an essential item for any supporter.

Pre-Orders and Events are Live!

Pre-orders start today, and bonus information from various retailers has been revealed. To celebrate the release, an online signing event is planned for April 3, 2026 (the release date), followed by a photobook handover event at HMV&BOOKS SHIBUYA in Tokyo on April 25, 2026.

A Message from Sakakura Hana Herself

Regarding the photobook’s release, Sakakura Hana shared her heartfelt thoughts:

“During my high school years, in a world with many restrictions, we couldn’t have the usual school trip. I kept thinking, ‘I want to go on one now…!’ That’s why this time, with the theme of ‘A Belated School Trip,’ we went to shoot in four cities: Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Miyakojima.”

“The shoots were always warm and friendly, and I think we captured many genuine, happy expressions in every location. This is my long-awaited first photobook. It’s become a special volume filled with the real, unpretentious me, just as I am in this moment.”

“I really hope everyone picks it up, and I’d be so happy if we could share these memories of a youth-filled journey together!”

The Sakakura Hana 1st Photobook (Tentative) has a tax-included pre-order price of 3,300 yen and will be released on April 3, 2026. Check the official information page for more details.

Sakakura Hana

This time, I am releasing my first photobook! During my high school years, in a world with many restrictions, we couldn’t have the usual school trip. I kept thinking, “I want to go on one now…!” That’s why this time, with the theme of “A Belated School Trip,” we went to shoot in four cities: Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Miyakojima.
The shoots were always warm and friendly, and I think we captured many genuine, happy expressions in every location. This is my long-awaited first photobook. It’s become a special volume filled with the real, unpretentious me, just as I am in this moment.
I really hope everyone picks it up, and I’d be so happy if we could share these memories of a youth-filled journey together!
