FRUITS ZIPPER members promote new photo book amid member absences

Members of the seven-member idol group FRUITS ZIPPER, including Manaka Manaka, Karen Matsumoto, and Suzuka Chinzei, held an event in Tokyo to celebrate the release of their fourth-anniversary photo book, titled “SYNERGY”.

During the event, Chinzei emphasized the group's collective strength, stating that the seven members create an explosive chemical reaction that allows them to achieve things an individual could not. The photo book features both group shots and solo portraits showcasing a more mature aesthetic.

The group is currently operating with fewer members. Ruka Nakagawa has been on hiatus since October due to health issues, and Noel Hayase is currently recovering from acute low back pain. Manaka expressed hope for their eventual return, noting that the remaining members aim to maintain the group's momentum in the meantime.
