English translation of the official blog's entry (on Shangri-la Tour in Iwate) can be found here.
As mentioned earlier, in conjunction to the Shangri-la project, Acid Black Cherry Project Shangri-la Series Documentary PHOTOBOOK will be released. The photobooks will carry many, many precious on stage and behind-the-scene photos from this project (tour, meeting, etc). One photobook will be released for each season. The 1st Season photobook will be released on October 25th and the 2nd Season photobook will be released on December 20th.
You can pre-order the 1st Season photobook at various online stores now:
CDJapan

If you make a reservation at the TSUTAYA stores, you will get a special limited cover which will not be available at other places. You have to book this if you want the photobook with the special cover as they will print the special cover based on the reservations. The reservation dateline for the 1st Season photobook is September 27th and the reservation dateline for the 2nd Season photobook is November 18th. Participated TSUTAYA stores can be found here.
There will be an FC version with a special cover as well. In order to reserve for this version, FC members can register as a VIP member at the uprise shop here and make the reservation there. The reservation dateline for the 1st Season photobook is September 27th and the reservation dateline for the 2nd Season photobook is November 18th..
I can sure you there will be lots of photos in this photobook. The cameraman was everywhere and it was really hard for me to hide from him either during the goods queuing or during the show waiting or during the shows or during the meeting. I hope none of my candid pix was captured on his camera. And I could see he had been snapping yasu non-stop.
Acid Black Cherry will be releasing a new single on November 20th with the title Kuroneko ~Adult Black Cat~.
This song is the second song as a part of his Shangri-la Project.

2nd Season『Shangri-la Meeting』
Sep. 21st, 2013 05:35 pm2nd Season will kick off in a week with Shangri-la Meeting in Aichi. Just like the 1st Season Meeting, only people who live/reside in the specific region (e.g. Hokuriku, Koshin & Tokai for the 2nd Season) can apply and you have to apply it through Japanese smartphones.
However, for Aichi, Shizuoka and Niigata meetings, they will be held at shared spaces (mall, square, etc), so you still can see the public recording and the meeting outside of the Shangri-la area. People who win the lottery will be in a designated Shangri-la area for high-touch session and they can watch the recording closer than people outside of the Shangri-la area.
These are the locations which are available for the people who can't enter the lottery or do not win the lottery:
2013/09/28 [15:00 starts] Aichi. Airport Walk Nagoya - event stage (FM AICHI public recording & high-touch meeting)
2013/10/12 [14:00 starts] Shizuoka. Aeon Mall Hamamatsushitoro - 1F Central Court (K-MIX public recording & high-touch meeting)
2013/11/03 [Start time TBD] Niigata. Aeon Mall Niigataminami - Marine Court (FM-NIIGATA public recording & high-touch meeting)
*Other specific locations will only be disclosed to the lottery winners.
If you will be around these places, please spare your time to the meeting. I was there at the Iwate's meeting in Morioka and it was really nice. You could see yasu closer than you could see him in concert and you could see him in his normal outfit which transmits his genuine warmth and kindness. Even if you couldn't do the high-touch with him, you still can line-up along his walking path after the event to say goodbye to him at a very close distant and he might even touch your hands during that time.
If you don't know how to go to the venues, please do click the links I've provided above. If you can't read Japanese, please print the page and bring it to the Information Center or Tourist Information Center at the main train stations near the venues (Nagoya Station, Hamamatsu Station, Niigata Station). There are English-speaking staffs there to help you.
Greed Greed Greed is now officially Acid Black Cherry's bestselling single.
