Obata Yuna (Yunana) / 7th Generation

Old story from last month:
Former SKE48 Yuna Obata has announced that she will release her first photo book "When you close your lips, your teeth will float" on March 31st.

The location was held at the end of last year, mainly in the Tokai region, with a minimum of three people, Obata himself, a photographer, and an editor. The photographer is Shinichiro Koike, who was in charge of the first gravure shooting when Obata was active as a member of SKE48 at the age of 15.





Current story:
Former SKE48 Yuna Obata talks about why she decided to graduate and the days after graduation "I didn't consult with anyone."

Former SKE48 Yuna Obata released her first photobook on March 31st. Obata was attracting great expectations and attention for her future potential, such as being selected twice as a center position during her active career. There was only a month from the announcement of graduation to graduation. At that time, I asked her again about the inside of his chest, which was not mentioned in the interview.

―― Obata announced her graduation in mid-February and graduated at the end of March, so she left the nest shortly after the interview. I'd like to ask you there, but why did you start thinking about graduation?
Obata: When I was enrolled, I was included in the selection process, and I also did the center. But I started to wonder what my goal was, I wonder if I could grow any further. But I couldn't think of it at all, and eventually I started to think, "I wonder if it's okay to be selected with this feeling ...". What if I quit being an idol and go on a different path?

――What did you do the day after you graduated?
Obata: I don't remember the next day, but I finished my last job on March 31st and dyed my hair that day, golden (laughs). There was a handshake event schedule left, so I came out with that hair color, but the fans were surprised. But I have a strong desire to try anything. I wanted to see how I would change if I changed my hair color.

--Has anything changed since you graduated?
Obata: I lost weight naturally. I ate a lot in the second half of my idol days. I was so stressed that I could only hit the food. It was already puffy (laughs). However, I lost 8 kg even though I didn't go on a diet while living a normal life.

――What kind of life are you currently living?
Obata: I do handmade products and make clothes. I've always liked fashion before graduation, and after graduation I became more fond of it. I was told that I wanted to go in that direction, so I decided to give it a try. I wanted to deliver what I made to the fans.
