Ships in 1-5 business days: A dramatic photographic world embodied by Shota Yasuda (Kanjani Eight).
An artistic work that sets itself apart from previous idol photobooks is born here!
In 2017, Shota Yasuda suffered from a brain tumor and underwent surgery. His consciousness changed significantly due to strongly confronting death, and he decided to give form to this experience and convey it.
"I want people to know the wonder of being alive and the courage to overcome difficulties. Life is not just about living or dying; it's a cycle that includes relationships with others. I wanted to express that through photography."
The photography was done by Atsushi Okada, who received the Kimura Ihei Award, referred to as the "Akutagawa Prize of the photography world." The project was realized through an offer from Yasuda, who had long been a fan.
The location shoot took place in the extremely cold Nemuro, Hokkaido. In the extreme conditions, he touched upon the "cycle of life and death."
"Actually, even idols have their struggles. We often experience anguish. That's why, now that I know the preciousness of being alive, I strongly feel that I want to keep moving forward and strive every day."
* Luxurious binding using the "Coota Binding Method," which allows the book to lay flat.
* Includes a mini-book featuring photos from his time battling illness.
