This item is from my home collection. The contents are in excellent condition, but it is 18 years old, so there is some aging on the cover, etc. We appreciate your understanding. Toshio Watanabe, the only photographer known to have been trusted by Yusaku Matsuda, who was known to dislike having his picture taken. A permanent collection of photographs featuring the musician Yusaku Matsuda, filled with unpublished photos. Supervised by Miyuki Matsuda, it includes many private shots that cannot be seen elsewhere. A serious match between a superstar at the height of his popularity and a young camera enthusiast. "If you're going to take my picture, capture my soul!" This single phrase marked the beginning of Toshio Watanabe's career as a photographer. He continued to capture the charm of Yusaku Matsuda as a musician and as a person.

Yusaku as a filmmaker, Yusaku as a singer, and Yusaku as a father. While it is undoubtedly a treasure for us long-time fans, it is a work that sets itself apart from the various books that have come before, and I felt as though Yusaku Matsuda had come a little closer to us. The author's writing itself is very sparse, and I feel like there could have been more, but it's mostly anecdotes that only he could know, and I was able to learn a new side of Yusaku Matsuda. There's nothing to say about the photos. Every photo is wonderful. Many of the photos are ones that fans have seen before, but it makes me happy to realize that they were taken by this person. The private photos are, in a sense, surprising. It felt as though Yusaku Matsuda himself was speaking to me. Fans from the core to the recent will be more than satisfied. Please read the text between the private photos taken by the author and photographer, Toshio Watanabe. There, not the "actor" Yusaku Matsuda, but the "human" Yusaku Matsuda is spoken of. Why did the author, who admired the G-Pan detective, manage to take such wonderful private photos? It's all told there.
