Kiyoshiro Imawano and Reichi Nakai's Correspondence Book Release Date Set for November 5

Exciting Release of 'Kiyoshiro-kun to Nakai-do-kun'

Fans eagerly awaiting the publication of the correspondence book titled 'Kiyoshiro-kun to Nakai-do-kun' can finally mark their calendars for November 5, 2025. Initially expected to be released in mid-October 2025, the date has been confirmed after some delays due to production issues. The anticipation among fans has been palpable since the announcement of this insightful compilation.

This special book collects letters exchanged between two iconic figures of Japanese rock: Kiyoshiro Imawano and Reichi Nakai. Their correspondence, which originally ran for over two years in the pages of Rockin' On Japan magazine, is a treasure trove of memories, insights, and the essence of their artistic camaraderie. These heartfelt letters date back to the fall of 1994, a time just four years after the suspension of RC Succession, the renowned band that Imawano was a part of.

This literary project consists of 31 installments that were published from the November 1994 issue up until February 1997. What makes this release even more special is that it also includes previously unpublished material: letters exchanged between the two during their formative years from 1974 to 1976, taken from the 1995 publication 'Kiyoshiro Imawano Gahō Namatama'. This aspect will provide readers with a unique opportunity to glance into their past and witness how their relationship evolved.

The cover, along with the color photos featured inside, were beautifully captured by Hisako Ookubo in 1994, showcasing the pair in their prime. These images add a rich visual layer to the text, allowing readers to feel more connected to the personalities behind the letters.

The book is priced at 2,000 yen plus tax, and it will be available in the standard B6 format. With an ISBN of 978-4-9914080-7 and categorized under 0095, this publication promises to be a collector's item for fans of both artists.

For general public access, the book will be sold through the Q&O STORE, where eager fans can place their orders online at Q&O STORE. Bookstores wishing to stock the title can visit the booking channel at Book Cellar.
