The first collaboration is called [Team KISHIN from AKB48]. The name originates from the photographer for the photobook, Shinoyama Kishin (篠山紀信). He is a famous photographer in Japan mostly known for producing nude photobooks of girls. Yes you read that right. NUDE.

The members of Team Kishin are:
Kuramochi Asuka, Maeda Ami, Oba Mina, Takeuchi Miyu, Shimada Haruka and Mori Anna.

Team KISHIN will be releasing a photobook sometime on October 2010. The title of the photobook is [Mado kara sukaitsuri ga mieru], which translates into "From the window, I can see the Sky Tree". The Sky Tree being the Tokyo Sky Tree of course. Currently, there is no info or preview of the photobook. I'm betting that there will be lots of implied nudity though.

The second collaboration is with the whole AKB48 this time. The photographer for this photobook is multi talented artist Asami Kiyokawa. The book is a collection of pictures of AKB48 members as animals and flowers.

From the previews, it looks incredibly stunning. I really can't wait to see more. Some of the transformations are a genius! Umechan as a Siberian Husky, Ayarin as a Lion, Nacchan as Shiba Inu, I can totally see those. Unfortunately, I think I'm going to skip this book because I'm already low on budget. I already ordered my Mizugi Surprise Happyo 2010
