Actor Sakurada Dori will release a second photobook for the first time in about 5 years since her previous work on Saturday, December 7th, her 28th birthday.
This photobook was created under the theme of "The 27 Club," which was also the idea of the person himself.
Sakurada, who has many hobbies from music to manga, is particular about fashion, which he considers as one of his own expressions.
We took a wide variety of shots, from modes to streets to those with a sense of privacy.
In addition, a dialogue with the theme is also recorded with four people who are currently active in various scenes.
Satoh Takeru for the play, TAKUYA∞ (UVERworld) for the music, Takuya Takagi, the representative of OCEAN TOKYO for the styling, and Takuya Moriguchi, the fashion director of "GQ JAPAN" for the fashion, which is the main theme of this time.
This dialogue reveals Sakurada's thoughts and feelings from various perspectives, and is readable even if you are not a fan.
It is a very spectacular book with 144 pages.
Sakurada Dori
The theme of this photobook was "The 27 Club".
"The 27 Club" is a term that summarizes MUSICIANS who died at the age of 27 and people with global influence, but by making this photobook at the age of 27, Sakurada Dori 's 27 years once I made it with the idea that I could finish it and use this as the starting line so that I could go up further.
The four people who had the opportunity to speak as a dialogue are all the ones I met and were influenced by by the age of 27.
In this conversation, I once again thought that I couldn't compete with Satoh Takeru, and I felt passion, aspirations, and strength as a human being from Mr. Takagi, the representative of OCEAN TOKYO.
I thought Mr. Moriguchi was a fashion god, and Mr. TAKUYA∞'s music reflects his way of life.
It also contains talks with four people who are important to me and want to firmly inherit the will of such people.
And Takashi Hirano, who took the picture, saw the first one or two patterns taken, and I was really glad that Mr. Hirano took it.
Not only facial expressions, but also how to make use of costumes and composition of photographs, etc., were taken as art photographs.
I was able to create this photobook with people who are indispensable for expressing Sakurada Dori at this point.
I think I have created a photobook that is full of my natural inner parts.
* Please note that even if you purchase a photobook from A!SMART, you will not be able to participate in the hand-over party at HMV & BOOKS SHIBUYA.
