[Congrats! Selected for North/Central American World Cup Japan Team] 2 Consecutive Years of Double-Digit Goals in France! 'Shooting Magician' Keito Nakamura's Hit First Photo Book 'Natural' Gets Emergency Re-release with 'Samurai Blue Special Obi'!

Futabasha Co., Ltd. will emergency re-release the first photo book 'Natural' by Keito Nakamura, who was selected for the 2026 North/Central American World Cup Japan national soccer team, as a 'Samurai Blue special edition' starting May 28, 2026 (Thursday) at bookstores and online retailers nationwide. This work became a major topic upon its release in 2025, with many stores selling out. For this re-release, to celebrate his selection for the national team, a special obi featuring shots of him running on the pitch in his Japan national team uniform—a long-awaited sight for fans—and three other photos has been adopted. This season, Nakamura recorded 14 goals and 3 assists in official matches in France's Ligue 2, achieving double-digit goals for the second consecutive year. This book contains a stunning 222 photos taken by sports photographer Koji Watanabe over about six years, covering everything from his training in Europe to his private, candid moments. The content, which includes his passion for soccer and his personal preferences in his private life written in his own words, is also a must-see.
