Yuka Kohinata, the red member of Fukuoka-based idol group Gochatto!, held a release event on July 12 at Sofmap AKIBA Amusement Hall for her 4th DVD, Newtopia. The 120-minute disc from S Digital sells for 4620 yen and was shot at a Tokyo studio in March. It tells a story of a childhood friend, played by the viewer.
Kohinata, who is in her 11th year as an idol, described the shoot as packed with highlights: a basketball scene followed by a shower, a school festival segment where she eats melon bread in uniform, and a bed scene. The yukata sequence, styled with a vivid color chosen by the stylist, is her personal favorite and her first in an image DVD.
The gold bikini dance in a dimly lit room is also a first for her. She said the oil applied mid-dance made her look shinier and more mature than expected. Her group Gochatto! currently has three members, with a trainee set to make it four.
