9nine members Umika Kawashima and Hirona Murata will be cosplaying as Evangelion's Rei and Asuka for photo exhibit titled: "J:Com presents Evangelion x Bishōjo Shashin~ten ~Girls Collection of Evangelion~". The said exhibit will start on Aug 1st at Tokyo's Seibu Ikebukuro store.
About 30 idols and models will be photographed for the exhibit. The exhibit's theme revolves around the question "what if", like: "What if these idols lived in the world of Evangelion?".
Kawashima commented that she felt nervous during the photoshoot since she'll be cosplaying a famous character, while Murata was just too delighted to cosplay.
The Girls Collection of Evangelion will run from Aug 1st to 6th at Tokyo before it will be moved Osaka.
