Kimi wa Natsu no Naka Memorial Book Ships With 60-Page Gravure
The book's 60-page gravure block outsizes its text sections, which tells you the publisher is selling the two leads as the drama's main product rather than the adaptation itself.

Shinko Music Entertainment released the Kimi wa Natsu no Naka Memorial Book on October 21, 2026, tied to TV Tokyo's July-season drama. The 104-page volume carries 60 pages of newly shot gravure of leads Tomoya Oku and Kazuto Mokudai, a long talk between the two, interviews with original author Nagisa Furuya, screenwriter You Saito, directors Kozue Sasaki and Shun Haga, and producers Takaya Chiba and Kozue Sasaki, plus a sacred sites pilgrimage map.
The volume runs 104 pages, and 60 of them are the newly shot gravure of Tomoya Oku and Kazuto Mokudai, framed around the two's summer vacation. A long talk interview between the leads sits alongside the photos. Beyond that, the book carries character and story introductions, an off-shot photo collection, room introductions, filming site reports, and virtual gravure, with a sacred sites pilgrimage map for readers who want to walk the drama's locations.
Two covers are listed: a regular edition with the two holding hands on a beach, and a Tower Records limited cover with one resting a head on the other's shoulder. The limited cover is scheduled to coincide with the drama's POPUP, and the book will be sold at the venue as well.
