Actor Kenichi Yumoto, who is rapidly gaining popularity for his role as Senzo Tachibana in the musical "Nintama Rantaro," has had his first photobook, released on March 30, decided for a reprint.

Shot with the theme of "journey" in Okinawa, this work captures a wide range of expressions, including his natural, true-to-life self, cool shots riding a motorcycle, and a stylish presence in solid-colored attire.

In cuts taken alone with photographer Masato Yokoyama in a motel room, he also challenged himself with sexy and poignant expressions reminiscent of adult romance, showcasing a new frontier as a performer in this one volume.

To commemorate the reprint of this work, a special event featuring Kenichi Yumoto himself will be held on Sunday, August 30, at HMV&BOOKS SHIBUYA. A talk show discussing the photobook's production is also planned for the event.

◇Kenichi Yumoto's Comment

Wow...! A reprint of 'BORDER' has been decided!

Huh? A reprint???

I'm incredibly surprised, and an event to go along with it has also been decided!

It's thanks to so many people who picked up 'BORDER' after its release and sent in their thoughts.

Thank you so much (tears).

I was able to express my gratitude in Akihabara and Ikebukuro, but I'm happy to be able to convey my thanks again.

If your schedule allows, please come and join us.
