The Photobook theme is "a camping trip of the students of a seaside school". The Nogizaka46 1st Generation members were photographed completing various challenges such as cooking curry outdoors and milking cows on a ranch. They were also photographed at hot springs
In addition, the Photobook featured shots of the members in swimsuits. This is the first time Nogizaka46 members have taken photos in swimwear, a milestone for the group. The decision was somewhat shocking to both members and fans though, since the Nogizaka46 image is often labeled as modest, conservative, or elegant.
Sales
Nogizaka Ha sold over 100,000 copies in its first 5 days
300 buyers of the Photobook were selected by lottery to appear at a private showing of the making-of footage, held on February 16, 2014.
