Fashion portraits, music and days at home
The publication succeeds Love Voice mag., which gave each performer a substantial, mini-photobook-style section. The new project retains that focus on individual subjects while bringing fashion-led styling to newly commissioned photography and extended interviews about work and everyday life.
Date’s feature moves between those two worlds. In her comments accompanying the announcement, she says the interview explores the thoughts behind her song Diary☆Parade, how she spends indoor days off and what her room is really like.
The released photograph by Hirokazu Kondo keeps the portrait light and close: Date smiles over her shoulder in a white top, with her hair tied up and fingertips near her chin. It is an advance editorial photograph, not the finished cover artwork.
Date’s voice work includes Kanon Shibuya in Love Live! Superstar!!, alongside her recording, film and stage activities.
Five retailers, different photographic prints
The publisher announces a Sayuri Date photographic print with qualifying purchases at five retailers. Each retailer has a different design:
These are retailer-specific purchase bonuses, not five prints included with every copy. Check the chosen store’s listing for its offer and current conditions.
Two March events at AKIHABARA Gamers
Separate talk shows and photographic-print handover sessions, or owatashi-kai, are announced for AKIHABARA Gamers:
Each event lists one photographic-print design for the handover. Consult the organizer for start times and participation requirements; buying an ordinary copy should not be treated as guaranteed admission.
Separate digital photographs are planned
Takarajimasha also plans to sell digital photographs featuring additional outfits and unpublished images absent from the print publication. Details will follow through the official Love Voice X account. No release date, price or delivery format has been announced for those photographs.
