Former AKB48 member Mitsumune Kaoru is currently modeling for URBAN RESEARCH's online store. Mitsumune is the May model for the "Snap+" section, which offers video-style outfit suggestions for three different occasions each month. She showcases looks for three different situations: relaxing at home, going on a drive, and picnicking in the park. The section launched last November and showcases styling inspired by the season of the month. Mitsumune, a native of Osaka Prefecture, won the grand prize at the Kobe Collection model audition in March 2011. She joined AKB48 as a 13th-generation trainee in December of the same year, but left the group after 10 months due to poor health. Her starring film, "Joshi Camera," was released last November.
