It’s been fun seeing the different branches’ creativity and individuality coming through in the women’s photos. I’ve always liked Fukuoka, but recently I was surprised to see some artistic-looking photos from Niigata (were they submitted by the women themselves?). Is there more sex appeal in the Osaka branch’s photos because the Osaka staff have a higher “sexiness index”? Which staff member came up with that bed-photo-like angle?

Representative Kida here with a response. Photography is an area our staff put a great deal of thought and effort into, so we’re genuinely happy to receive feedback like this. Putting effort into photography isn’t about deceiving anyone. We hope our members will understand it as a challenge to express, even within a two-dimensional image, the many different qualities that make each woman appealing. Thank you. The sexiness of Osaka, the photography in Fukuoka, and Niigata’s work are all the result of our staff’s efforts. However, the person who revolutionized our overall technique and attention to detail was Mizukami from the Tokyo branch. We’re also grateful to Maezawa for making equipment proposals that were significant enough to change our history. As for Osaka’s “erotic appeal index,” our Osaka staff will respond separately.

This is Saito, the columnist♪. I was thinking exactly the same thing! I can tell you’re making an effort so the poses don’t always look the same, but there’s only so much you can do with poses. It’s more enjoyable for viewers when people get creative in other ways too. Speaking as a male member, I hope you’ll keep it up.
