She didn't wanted to pose using bikinis but the produced talked her into doing it? I can imagine the conversation:

"A photobook? That sounds nice, let's do it"

"Good Akari-chan, we'll start making the preparatives. You'll be really cu..."

"Oh, yeah, but I don't want to do the bikini shots all the senpai do, ok? I'd like to only pose with cute clothes"

(beat)

"........................................................."

"................................................... ?"

"Impossible Uemura, you can't release a photobook without bikini shots"

"Eh? But... I really don't want to..."

"NO, you'll do the photobook with the bikini shots. End of story"

"............B-but..."

"Listen, you do it our way or you're out, get it? No one's gonna buy your photobook if you don't have bikini shots and we can't lose money. There are others who'd like to be in your position. DO IT"

"..........................."

"The wota will be pleased, don't you wanna please your fans?"

"............................................."

"So...?"

"...Fine.... I'll do it"

Seriously, these things should be prohibited in Japan, she was just 16 years old, she's too young to pose in bikini, the cute clothes are ok but exploiting the body of a young girl who didn't wanted to do the shots in the first place? That's disgusting. Older idols who are legal adults can do them if they want because they're legal and can take their own decisions, girls under 20? NO. Take Risako Sugaya's case, for example, she was just 12. If that doesn't border the line of child pornography, I don't know what it does. Is people there at Japan blind or what?

Akari didn't even looked happy in any of those bikini shots above. Let's not even get into the official description.
