On May 19th, actor Chiba Yudai held a release event for his 2nd photo book, 'Aojyashin' (blueprint).

Chiba, who was asked about his own "blueprint", stated, "Right now, I'm in dramas, but I want to try various roles. Also, I like drawings, so I would like to draw a picture book. I also want to be a radio DJ."

The pictures in 'Aojyashin' were taken in Yakushima Island and Tokyo. It features a handful of the actor's photos that show off his manliness as well as his cuteness.

Chiba smiled as he said, "It turned out to be�100 points," and continued, "The last time (1st photo book), I had brown hair. But now that I have black hair, I wonder if I've become an adult."

He also reflected on his shoot in Yakushima Island saying, "I like Ghibli's 'Momonoke Hime (Princess Momonoke). There were a lot of big trees and it seemed like there would be 'kodamas', so I felt really good. I was also happy to stay at the place Miyazaki Hayao-san has stayed at."
