A Sneak Peek at the Covers and Back Designs

The book debuts with four distinctly designed covers. Accompanying these are four equally captivating back covers, each with its own theme reflecting Kanagawa’s multifaceted charm.

2. Rakuten Books Edition - This special version features a candid moment captured during a stroll, where she's playfully posed among blooming flowers. Her sweet, slightly open mouth expression conveys an innocent charm that is irresistibly engaging.

3. Seven Net Edition - Featuring a breathtaking transition from dusk to night, this edition captures Kanagawa in a floral dress she selected herself. The image emits a festive vibe while evoking a sense of fleeting beauty.

4. Sony Music Shop Edition - Offering a unique view of Kanagawa aboard a boat, this design captures her soft expression and mischievous smile. The image effectively combines mature allure with a hint of playfulness, highlighting her at the age of 24.
