A 40-page photo book is included in the first limited edition, which will be “the cutest package specification”. With the theme of “Your (really) cutest” and “My (really) cutest” theme, it is an
A-side/B-side specification that shows two different FRUITS ZIPPERs with art.
At A-side, Sebastian Masuda, who has been spreading Japanese kawaii culture to the world for many years and has received worldwide acclaim even after moving to New York, participates as a collaboration artist. By exchanging words with each member before the shoot, he explores “individuality and cuteness that lies deeper than the cuteness that can be seen” and expresses it in art. Please pay attention to the works where you can feel the unique inner charm that you can glimpse in the growth of the girls, while keeping the cuteness at the time of their debut. Sebastian Masuda commented, “Kawaii is your own microcosm. It became the first tag of the two groups that send out “KAWAII” to the world.

The B-side expresses “FRUITS ZIPPER cuter than usual”. With fruit motifs linked to member colors, the visuals give a sense of FRUITS ZIPPER’s freshness and freshness. The creative team, yenter, has been in charge of visual aspects such as logos, merchandise designs, and artist photos. The first limited edition comes with a hologram three-sided case and digipack, and the A-side visual is the package, while the 7 types of regular edition/member edition have the B-side visual as the jacket.

-Comment from Sebastian Masuda-
Kawaii is your own microcosm. Just like if there are 100 people, there are 100 ways of kawaii,
In order to explore the individuality and charm of the seven members of FRUITS ZIPPER, we started with one-on-one conversations.
Please open the photo book and compare their words with the artwork. I think that the charm of the girls, which is not just superficial cuteness, is overflowing there.
FRUITS ZIPPER, who are preparing for their first nationwide tour in autumn, announced a one-man live at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium as the tour finale. Reservation sessions for CDs linked to tours are also held throughout the country. Please check the detailed schedule of the reservation meeting in the official note of FRUITS ZIPPER (https://note.com/fruits_zipper/n/n362c0feecd76).
