  To commemorate the release of this book, we will be holding a launch fair.
  The entire text of this limited edition book has been printed using the traditional technique of letterpress printing.
  Typesetting is essential for letterpress printing, which is created through the manual labor of craftsmen. This exhibition will display the actual typesetting machine used for this book.
  Please look forward to the different typesetting available at each store. We will also be exhibiting unpublished photographs of the author, ICHIRO YAMAGUCHI, in his younger days when he was writing the words of this work.

“Words 2: Notes for my own training” ICHIRO YAMAGUCHI

This is the second volume of ICHIRO YAMAGUCHI "Words: Notes for My Own Training," published last year.
This book contains a total of 250 words written between 2001 and 2006, before his debut.

limited edition

¥ 6,600 (inc. tax)
Release date: April 10, 2024

This special edition book is available in limited quantities and contains a record of short, poem-like fragments of words that SAKANACTION wrote as a form of self-training before their major debut.
Every page of the book is printed using letterpress printing, a method that was once central to publishing but is now gradually disappearing. For the 250 "words" in particular, each character cast from a lead alloy was hand-picked and assembled to create a typesetting plate for printing.
Art director Kaoru Kasai was in charge of the book design. When planning for the previous work was underway, ICHIRO YAMAGUCHI expressed his strong desire for Kasai to design the cover, and the series was designed with a unified concept from the previous to this work.
The cloth binding is made of "Mirage Cloth", a fabric created specially for this book by leading Japanese textile designer Reiko Sudo. At the request of Kasai, who is in charge of book design, a custom-made cloth was created for this work. After the cloth was completed, Sudo attended ICHIRO YAMAGUCHI 's live tour "Natsukashii Tsuki wa Atarashii Tsuki "Shinkirou"", and named it "Mirage" to express the impression the cloth evokes.

normal version

¥ 2,420 (inc. tax)
Release date: April 17, 2024

What is the origin of ICHIRO YAMAGUCHI 's world of lyrics? Before SAKANACTION 's major debut, the poem-like "words" written as training for themselves were carefully selected and turned into a book. It will be sold at bookstores and online bookstores nationwide as a popular version printed using offset printing.
The book design is by Kaoru Kasai and Yuki Adachi, just like the NF member limited edition. The cover features black foil stamping over striking silver ink.
