And as a true indication of just how popular this shashinshuu truly is, it’s already completely sold out at most major online stores!! As of this posting an order for “(un) touch” can still be placed at Amazon Japan as they’re indicating a restocking date of April 9th.
(note: Fukada Kyoko’s (un) touch shashinshuu is also out of print @ Cdjapan =(.)
Measuring in at a slightly oversized 11 3/4” x 9 1/4”, Fukakyon’s highly anticipated latest shashinshuu 「(un) touch」which just released on March 13th may just be the granddaddy of photo books! Beginning with its exteriors, both front and backs are comprised of doubled styled covers, its outer dust jacket is printed on extra thick and textured stock while the obi itself is most luxurious with a beautifully waxy exterior. (un) touch is also notably thicker than your average shashinshuu as it boasts a whopping 144 pages!~! while not to be outdone by its outer shell all of its pages within are printed on the thickest glossy stock paper you’ll find in anywhere!
However these are merrily the aesthetics as Fukakyon is photographed to perfection in the likes of Spain and Rome providing breathtaking backdrops and sensual essence with ND CHOW returning as her camera eye and visionary as he produced her previous visual works in “Blue Moon”, here though with (un) touch, saying that ND CHOW has outdone himself even a million times-fold….would indeed be putting it much too lightly~!
While there are countless photographic collections which aim to capture the true aura of sexiness, many times that goal falls to an arguably overstated direction where those visions become all too literal while overlooking that sexiness isn’t a visual concept alone as it also encompasses the sexual appeals of mood, lighting, fashion as well as a sensual attitude all of which when nurtured together as one….equals a most alluring state of sexy. Fukakyon’s hair styling and choice of wardrobes further enhance this mood as her fashion throughout capture profoundly a woman’s intimates to an upmost classic chic in styling moving from the luxurious to lingerie to a glamour worthy of the immaculate night~.
But seriously don’t take my word for it as where a picture can speak a thousand words, here Fukakyon’s latest photographic collection must surely then speak volumes. Here I’d spent a couple of previous afternoons this week trying to carefully scan what’s become the majority of (un) touch save for just couple of handful of pages or so as there are quite a few gatefold presented images which cover across two pages with a single image and as previously noted this shashinshuu is actually a bit oversized in width which made it not possible to adjoin such two page images anywhere closely as this book is literally larger than my scanner’s surface. So for those photos I’ve instead taken pictures of them which I’ll present here first before getting to all of the scans.

(note: As aforementioned due to the extra large size of this shashinshuu which is larger than a scanner’s surface area, photos which cover two pages will be missing a significant image area and therefore won’t line up properly.)

Wow! What an incredible collection. No mystery why this has sold out. Funnily enough, I looked on CDJapan the other day and there was no mention of a recent shashinshuu, so that might explain why. What’s amazing is how her character changes so radically with her hairstyle. I noticed this in Friends, when her bangs are swept aside and her forehead is revealed. (She used to wear her hair quite big ten years ago, didn’t she; in Strawberry on the Shortcake, too. I’ve just started watching Sengyou Shufu Tantei: Watashi wa Shadow. Her hair is sleeked back for that. (She’s so kawaii and funny, too. Have you watched this? I can’t begin to guess where the story’s going to go over the next 9 episodes…) But back to the shashinshuu, she’s smouldering here in every shot, and I’ll be surprised if those bras with the dangly bits don’t experience an increase in sales! Beautiful locations, too, but unlike others I’ve seen, they really are backdrops to her beautiful presence. The gatefold pictures are amazing.
Thank for for scanning and for your wonderful description.

I was going to link and was like woh! it’s out of print?? =O Her previous shashinshuu sold really well and Fukakyon hadn’t released a photo collection for quite some time prior to that one so I imagine fans are clamoring for this book!! So true, Fukakyon’s looks are strikingly changed with her hairstyles through the years….it’s difficult to say if she matches bangs or a longer style any more than the other as she’s always so gorgeous! I haven’t watched this show before, Sengyou Shufu Tantei: Watashi wa Shadow…I will look it up. U~n as I first went through the book I was like….gosh every photo is immaculate! How ND CHOW utilized light and shadows is remarkable and YES her wardrobes of choice are equally as sexy as they are glamorous! OH and in case you were wondering about the title here, I was listening to Prince and that song just happened to pop up during the shuffle as I was scanning away =D.

If you do watch here, don’t make it full-screen, as very, very occasionally a rough advert comes long that you have to Force Quit to get rid of. It’s a great show, and Fukakyon is extraordinary. She also gets to wear lots of different hairstyles, being a detective. You will fall in love with her sweet character for the very start!

I’ve just watched ep 3. The detective agency in it reminds me a little of Mierlino Kashiwagi. Fukakyon’s performance is so good, with lots of light and shade. I’m positive you’ll fall in love with it. (By the way, looking again at the top of this page just now, I’m struck by how close the expressions are on both your and Fukakyon’s faces.)

I just got notification that my “Sengyou shufu tantei” has just shipped along with “Minamikun no koibito” (noticed that Nino♥~♥ is starring here too as he’s my favorite ARASHI member and also a member of my cuddle list 🙂 ) as you’ve most certainly sold me on both \(^o^)/!! Un those ads can be most frustrating and how they force you to watch them and sometimes even in their entirety xD….I’m so looking forward to seeing her as a detective and all of the disguises and looks she’s going to have in the drama. Haha must be our rather large teeth? She’s sooooooo beautiful!!!! and I’m really thinking that this shashinshuu may just be the most amazing I’ve ever seen ^^.
