Actor Masaru Chinai, active in numerous stage plays such as MANKAI STAGE『A3!』(as Tenma Hiyori, leader of the Summer Troupe), the "Tokyo Revengers" stage play series (as Ken Ryuguji), the "Momiji Oni" stage play (starring as Takato Saijo/Kyowaka), and "unrato#11 'Tsuki no Misaki'" (starring as Nobuo Hiraoka), is releasing a calendar book starting April 2026.

A Book Filled with the Desire to "Appreciate the Customers' Everyday Lives"

The theme of this calendar book is "Cheers." Chinai explained the background of its creation: "I personally always want to appreciate the end of the day with a drink, but instead of it being my idea, I received a very grateful suggestion from the experts (the editorial department) asking, 'How about a theme of drinks that Mr. Chinai loves this time?' and I readily agreed, so we proceeded with this concept."

He further added, "I really want to appreciate the daily fatigue of our customers, and I've been making sure not to forget the word 'negu' (to appreciate/console) since yesterday. Last night, I suddenly craved negi ramen," he said, lightening the mood with a pun. He then promoted the book by saying, "When you get home or at the office, you might not be able to directly say 'You worked hard today, thank you for your efforts,' but I created this book with the desire to appreciate each day."
