■Comment from Novelbright 's TAKENAKA YUDAI (Vo) on the publication of Bessatsu Kadokawa

"The nine-year history of Novelbright is all condensed into this one book. I think that in 10 or 20 years' time, people will be able to see that this book was extremely meaningful. That's how important it has become in telling our history going forward. The charm of Novelbright is brought out from various angles, so I think that both those who have known us for a long time and those who have known us for a long time will enjoy it. We worked hard for many days from morning to night on the filming, discussions and interviews, so I hope you will check it out (laughs). Thank you!!

P.S. It seems that if you read this book, your luck in money and love will improve..."
