NF member limited edition

¥ 6,600 (inc. tax)
Scheduled to ship mid- to late December 2022

ICHIRO YAMAGUCHI 's lyrical world has gained support from many listeners, transcending generational boundaries. The record of his pre-debut "language" training, which is the source of this, will be sold as a special book limited to 8,000 copies.
All pages of the text are printed using letterpress printing, which used to be the center of publishing technology but is now gradually disappearing. In particular, all 250 "words" were created by hand picking up individual type cast from lead alloy and assembling them to create typesetting for printing.
Book design is by Kaoru Kasai, who defined an era as an art director and has also worked on many book bindings and editorial designs, and Yuki Adachi, who is active in design in a wide range of fields, mainly advertising. The cloth binding uses cloth created by Reiko Sudo, one of Japan's leading textile designers. The luxurious tags realized in this book make it a one-of-a-kind book.
