Shinchosha Co., Ltd. Press release: September 30, 2024 Celebrating 25th anniversary! “My Book – Record of 2025 -” a white book with only the date and day of the week written on it will be released on September 30th! The author is “you”! “My Book”, which can be used as a notebook, diary, or memorandum, and can be used freely and originally, will be released by Shincho Bunko again this year. Would you like to create your own book, the only one in the world? “My Book” was first published in the fall of 1999 and became the forerunner of the “white paperback” that could be used as a notebook or diary. “My Book – Record of 2025” was published and celebrated its 25th anniversary. “My Book” has sold over 2.8 million copies and has become a long-selling book.This year, the book will be reprinted at the beginning of the new year, and is gaining support from an increasing number of people. However, there are probably many people who know about it, or are interested in it, but have never used it. We would like such people to try using it from next year, so we would like to tell you about the features of “My Book” in detail.

1. Please write your name, photo, and profile! When you turn over the cover and main cover, there is a page called the “book door”. The author name column above the grape mark, the symbol of Shincho Bunko, is blank. Because you are the author. First, please write your name here. The cover of the main unit with the cover removed has a similar design, so please write your name there as well. There is also usually a photo of the author printed on the flap of the cover, at the top of the “sleeve”. Please feel free to post photos and stickers here. “Author close-up” is completed. Below that is the profile section. Once you have filled out your profile, including your year of birth, place of birth, career history, and hobbies, your “author biography” will be ready.

After going through the table of contents, we finally get to the main text page. It might be a good idea to write down a diary, notebook, memorandum, or your own tanka or haiku. How you use it is up to you. The book is bound in a way that opens it tighter than a regular paperback. Image

If it’s unfinished, it’s unfinished, and that’s okay too (there’s even a phrase called “unfinished masterpiece”…). Once you have completed one book, please read the next one. As the number of works increases, the presence on the bookshelf also increases. “Nami”, which was released on September 27th, also features an interview with Osamu Suzuki, who uses “My Book” as a diary for couples to exchange. For daily records, for communicating with loved ones, and as a means of output. Would you like to become an “author” of “My Book” from next year? ​ ■Book content introduction text My book only contains the date and day of the week. This is a one-of-a-kind book that you will create in 2025. It’s up to you how you use it. You can also write a diary. You can also carry it around as a notebook. It’s sure to be fun to try out original ways to use it that no one else has thought of. If you continue to use it every day and complete it, it will become your very own book and will be more memorable than any other book. ■Book data My Book-Record of 2025- [Author name] Takuya
