"BanG Dream!" Voice Actress Kanon Takao's 1st Photo Book to be Released on Her Birthday, September 10

It has been decided that "Kanon Takao 1st Photo Book: Ichion" (pronounced: Ichion), the first photo book of voice actress Kanon Takao, who plays Sakiko Toyogawa in "BanG Dream!" Ave Mujica and Hikari Hoshimiya in "Haibara's Teenage New Game+," will be released on her birthday, September 10.

The shooting location was Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, known as the "City of Musical Instruments," which ties into Takao's special skill of playing the piano. From cuts of her playing the piano with a dignified, mature appearance, to her smiling and having fun at the beach, wearing a natural school uniform, and in loungewear that offers a glimpse of her true self, this book is fully packed with her "current" charm. The editing and production of the photo book were handled by Seiyu Grand Prix, which has worked on numerous voice actor photo books.

Pre-orders with exclusive bonuses started at various bookstores on June 13. Users who pre-order through infosquare within the designated period will receive a "Kanon Takao Autographed Photo Book" with the purchase of a single copy, and those who purchase the 3-book set will be invited to a "2-Shot Cheki Session" (on a first-come, first-served basis). Furthermore, limited editions and photo books with bonuses, such as limited-edition covers, acrylic stands, and another photo book, will be sold at various specialty stores.

Kanon Takao's Comment

I am thrilled to announce that I will be releasing my very first photo book!

It was shot in Hamamatsu, a city with deep ties to music, and I believe this book is tightly packed with my inner thoughts and true self.

Originally, I think a photo book is something to be enjoyed visually, but I approached the shoot with the desire to make it a heartfelt photo book where you can almost hear the sounds and voices of each situation from every single cut. I would be delighted if you could pick up a copy while enjoying each individual "sound" (Ichion) of every cut!
