Non is an artist who has not only been active as an actress, but has also expanded her horizons to include film, music, and the art scene, captivating many people across generations.

This work, which will be published on her 30th birthday this year, is an art book that connects the "now" and the "future" and weaves her thoughts for a new stage in her life.

The book includes visual stories shot by three photographers, newly created ribbon art pieces by the artist herself, a collection of self-writings detailing her current thoughts, exclusive artworks by three overseas artists, and talk shows with internationally renowned guests.

A variety of creative minds came together to create this memorable book that unleashes Non's boundless power of expression.

[Contents]
Right here, right now.
The opening feature is a fashion story set in a city that is alive with the present.
Photographer Takashi Omiyama, who specializes in graphical expression, has created a world where reality and fantasy resonate together.
Her vibrant steps on the street point to where she is now, having made steady progress up until now, and lead her to the next step.

Shades of Mine
The second film features a fashion portrait that captures a precious moment as she transitions from her 20s to her 30s.
Photographer Masaya Tanaka has used an exquisite sense of balance to bring out the beauty that shines from within Non, dressed in a variety of outfits.
Being in that "in-between" moment reveals a new side of her that she has never shown before, a sensual and refined adult expression.

An eternal rhapsody heard on the breeze
The visual story shot by photographer Taro Mizutani concludes with an emotional piece that is silently imbued with passion for the "future."
A coast surrounded by hills, rippling water, lush vegetation, and a golden sky.
Embracing the majestic Mother Nature, her powerful gaze that seems to respond and throw back at her suggests a future filled with light.

Artworks of Ribbon
"Ribbon Art" is an art project that Non has been continuously creating since 2020, using lots of ribbons.
For this book, she has created new ribbon art, with herself becoming part of the piece.
Ribbons, a symbol of cuteness, are used to express something creepy and dark.
This work, which combines the dual nature of the ribbon and Non's vital essence, gives the impression of a great surge as she enters a new stage as an artist.

Self-writing
A collection of handwritten self-writings in which Non writes down what she is feeling at the moment.
These are words written casually when I wake up in a daze in the morning or when I can't sleep at night.
A private musing from Non, written without any effort or overreach, almost as if she was sighing.
What has changed and what has not, what is important, who I am, happiness, memories. Non expresses herself in a relaxed manner in her final twenties.

Little Portrait in Collage
A special artwork was created through cross-border collaboration with three artists.
British artist Ben Lewis Giles, who creates collages using found photographs of flowers and butterflies, Spanish artist Lorena Olmedo, who stitches her photographs with colored thread, and Argentine artist Juan Francisco Bertoni, who combines photographs with energetic paint, have all created works full of unique ideas based on previously unpublished photographs of Non from her childhood.

Time with Special
Now that she's on the brink of entering her 30s, Non hosts two conversations with people she hopes to meet. The guests are Yoshitomo Nara, one of Japan's leading contemporary artists, and CHAI, the "NEO-New Exciting Women's Band" that has been garnering attention overseas. As she shares honest thoughts with the two groups, who have been friends for some time, about art and music, sensibilities and values, overseas activities, experiences and changes, and about each other, her current inner self is brought to light.
