The two have been deepening friendships through CD jacket production since Fukuyama's debut. Two years ago, they said, "Let's collaborate on something toward the 15th anniversary." And it was a long and long filming interview.
Photographer Katsumi Omura accompanied Masaharu Fukuyama's "ON and OFF" for about one year, including concerts, recordings, overseas music production, commercial shooting, etc. The vast conversations and dialogues left by the two people who spoke with tongues resulted in 40,000 photos and more than 100 hours of VTR. A summary of the messages/messages hidden in them in one form is the "message" of the photo book + interview published by Shueisha in March this year. This photo book can be said to be a masterpiece document suitable for Masaharu Fukuyama's 15th anniversary.
