Kota Nomura's 1st Photobook 'Tonari no Kimi' Photo/Madoka Sano
Since his debut in 2022, Kota Nomura has appeared in numerous dramas such as 'Perfect Propose' and 'Until I Break My Husband's Home'. He is also set to appear as Rensuke Kunigami in the movie 'Blue Lock', scheduled for release on August 7th this year. This is the first photobook by Kota Nomura, whose popularity and recognition are rapidly increasing. The cover of this work, themed 'date', has been unveiled for the first time!
The title 'Tonari no Kimi' was decided after repeated consultations between Nomura and the editorial staff. Nomura's opinion was adopted for the font of the title designed on the cover, saying, 'A handwritten style would be emotional and nice.' A 'release commemoration event' is also scheduled for Saturday, June 27, the day after the release date.
