≠ME member Shiori Nagata featured in new EX Taishu photography series

The magazine EX Taishu has launched a new photography series titled ‘Meeting My True Self: ≠ME and Photographers,’ beginning with the October issue released on September 15, 2026. The project features a monthly collaboration between a member of the idol group ≠ME and a professional photographer to capture the unique personality and ‘true self’ of each member.

The inaugural feature focuses on Shiori Nagata, whose performance of ‘Ai Kudasaimase’ recently gained attention on social media. Working with photographer Nono Matsuo, Nagata was photographed in an urban setting transitioning from dusk to night. The shoot aimed to capture her natural, everyday side in a setting where she feels most herself, contrasting with her stage persona.
