This is ICHIRO YAMAGUCHI second solo work.
"Words 2: Notes for my own training"
It will go on sale on Wednesday, April 17th in two versions: a special limited edition and a regular edition!

Following on from the previous work, this volume contains 250 "words" written before her debut. Kaoru Kasai continues to be the art director.
In the limited edition, all pages of the text are printed using letterpress printing. The cover is made of Mirage Cloth, a fabric created specifically for this book by textile designer Reiko Sudo. At the request of Kasai, who is in charge of book design, a custom fabric was made for this work. After the fabric was completed, Sudo attended ICHIRO YAMAGUCHI 's live tour "Natsukashii Tsuki wa Atarashii Tsuki "Shinkirou"" and named it Mirage as a word to express the impression the fabric evokes.

In addition, singer-songwriter Yumi Matsutoya contributed a recommendation for the book.
The recommendation, written in the form of a letter, uses the words contained in this book, called "Etudes," to send a message that links them to songwriting.
In the limited edition, the letterpress printed paper will be inserted inside the book, while in the regular edition it will be printed on the book's dust jacket.

The limited edition will be available for pre-sale to NF member at the Sakanaction ONLINE STORE and at select Tsutaya bookstores.
Advance sales for NF member will begin today.
