Specification Gordon Maeda is a young actor with a unique samurai-like charm that has led to him receiving an influx of offers from popular films and dramas, including historical dramas.
On one hand, Nikaido Fumi has a unique presence and fresh sensibility that allows her to play a wide range of roles from morning dramas to comedy films, and she also shows extraordinary talent as a photographer.
These two met four years ago, as co-stars in a TV drama series. During the filming of that drama, the two formed a strong bond as artists, and three years later, they shared two miraculous days together as "model" and "photographer." The filming was just like weaving together a road movie.
The first day was held at a certain place in Tokyo. The sight of a wild Maeda with a bit of stubble waking up in the studio was truly awesome, giving the impression of goosebumps. From an outfit reminiscent of a UK rock artist, to a wet appearance in 100% humidity, to a suit on a rooftop in the evening, to a loincloth that is the epitome of a Japanese man... Maeda, who looks completely unwavering in the outfits that seem eccentric when written down, faces the camera with a posture that seems inevitable.
The second day was at a house on the beach. Nikaido was wearing an American shirt, a Marine Corps-style outfit, and a wooden interior in which he was lying on his bed, exuding an innocent boyishness. His boyish side was quite different from the day before... Just as he had said before the shoot, "I already know what I want to shoot," Nikaido continued to press the shutter without any hesitation.
The photographs that are produced there are filled with a power that overwhelms the viewer. The two collide with each other with astonishing intensity.
The result is something truly spectacular.
Nikaido was the one who gave the title "A beautiful Blink." She said, "The beautiful blink represents Maeda's strong gaze, as well as the intense brilliance of those two days."
This 176-page book is packed with the "unknown Maeda Gordon" - don't miss it.
