SUPER EIGHT Yasuda Shota Photobook: DOWN TO EARTH

[Machine Translation] Akihiro Yasuda is the guitarist of SUPER EIGHT, and has also expanded his activities as an actor, starring in many stage productions. Five years have passed since his last book, and his latest photo book "DOWN TO EARTH" will be released on September 11, his birthday. The book features photos of Akihiro Yasuda living and traveling in Los Angeles on the West Coast of the United States, which he dreams of as his next base of operations. He is a man of nature, strumming his guitar, painting, and drinking with his friends. This book captures his life-size image as he freely enjoys himself as he is. (So the rest of my life lives down to earth. Then the possible everywhere's. Akihiro Yasuda's life is not eternal. Then the possible everywhere's. In Japan, people become adults once they pass the age of 20, and for some reason, I have often felt since I was a child that there is a custom of unconsciously marking the end of every 20 years. I experienced a brain tumor at the age of 32, followed one year later by post-operative epilepsy at the age of 33, and then I experienced my second death. This experience made me feel as if I had been reborn at the age of 40, or "Reborn, Restart. The words of an old lady I happened to pass by on the street in my father's birthplace, Kakaroma Island, Amami Oshima Island, Kagoshima Prefecture, also had a great influence on me. She said to me, "You are finally an adult when you are over 80 years old. I am still working as a super idol at the company that my favorite person created for me, but there is no limit to how I can live the rest of my life and where I can be active in the genre of my work. I feel that a person's age is expressed by their facial expression and the air that surrounds them. I hope you will enjoy this book and feel the "unpretentious, unpretentious, and unpretentious" me as I was at the age of zero, where and what I try to obtain happiness. The release date is my birthday, and I will be one year old myself. The rings of years in trees are wrinkles in us. I would like you to touch the wrinkles that age gives us as a reward, and taste the "no need to decorate" no matter how old you are.
