Dori Sakurada in his 30s, is "smiling for the first time" in calendar!
The theme this time is "SMILE". In contrast to the cool expressions he had in his 20s, Sakurada Dori is now smiling in his first calendar in his 30s. Here is the everyday Dori Sakurada that he shows to his friends. The shooting locations were Shibuya, Omotesando, Harajuku, and other places that were designed to evoke the image of "fashionable but familiar", as Dori Sakurada Dori loves fashion. The photos are a parade of natural and gentle expressions that are sometimes adult and sometimes boyish. As with last year, he offered direction to Moriguchi Noriaki, a good friend of Dori Sakurada and editor of a famous men's lifestyle magazine. This combination has resulted in a calendar full of "smiles"!
This gorgeous "monthly" calendar features approximately 62 photos, giving you a glimpse of a relaxed Sakurada as he enjoys a stroll through the city. The design concept is a fashion magazine cover. It can be enjoyed not only as a calendar, but also as a photo piece that can be displayed individually. Also, pay attention to the fashionista Sakurada's street-style styling! You can enjoy a completely different Sakurada from last year's mature Sakurada.
■Comment from Dori Sakurada I'm smiling, which is unusual for me. This is a collection of smiles from my 30s! Please forgive me for being expressionless for the remaining 9 years! Thanks to my reliable team who I know well, and the happy scenes and things that come to mind even when we're apart, this calendar is full of natural smiles! I'm not very good at smiling, but I hope this calendar will be a memorable one for everyone!
■Comment from Tokuaki Moriguchi (Creative Director) Tonight's menu is a full course of relaxed Dori Sakurada. A relaxed, friendly, and exciting Dori-kun appears a lot. However, one month, a more serious Dori-kun is also secretly prepared.
