■ A Book That Reveals "The Real Self" for the First Time
This book is the first essay collection by Yuka Kageyama, who is active as an actress after graduating from an idol group. With the desire to convey "my true self = my shadow," she writes in her own words about "the me who can't honestly accept compliments" and "the me who sets limits and constantly gives up," revealing "the real Yuka Kageyama."
The book also offers plenty of visual enjoyment of Kageyama, including "fukurotoji" (sealed-off pages) with newly taken photos that only purchasers can enjoy at the end of the volume.
■ Comment from Yuka Kageyama
This year, at 25 years old, also marks the 10th anniversary of my entertainment activities. I want to express my gratitude to all the fans who have always watched over me, and to everyone who has encountered me at some point. When I boldly approached Magazine House with this feeling, they prepared such a wonderful place for me. I truly feel blessed by my surroundings and connections, every second of these 10 years.
Almost everything about me, who is not good at letting myself be known, is packed into this book. I have exposed myself so candidly that I feel like I might disappear without a trace after you finish reading it.
It is thanks to all of you that I came to believe in you and wanted to convey my feelings.
I would be happy if you get to know everything about me, including the "fukurotoji" in overtime.
