The filming took place in Okayama Prefecture, in response to her wish to go to the biggest candy store in Japan in Chiba. "When I was asked, 'What do you want to do with your photo book?', the first thing I mentioned was this candy store. After that, I thought about what I could do because I was a teenager, such as uniforms and yukata. I wanted to do it. I wanted to pack everything into it, so I got all my requests fulfilled. Usually, when I take pictures, I don’t show my teeth and smile, but this time I was surprised to see a lot of people naturally smiling. I was so excited that the cameraman's camera was soaked (laughs).Also, when I was riding the roller coaster at the amusement park, I was laughing so hard that I could see myself." https://entamenext.com/articles/detail/22746

As well as access to exclusive online content, FC members can apply for tickets to fan meetings, the first of which be in Tokyo on 2/11 (which to me seems to be very soon after the start of her FC so management would appear to be confident that many people will join).
