Jasper Liu 劉以豪 to release Kyoto Travel Photo Book, Dogs and Cats Person 犬貓人

Jasper is really becoming a big star this year. If you thought he was starting to dominate with TV dramas, movies, magazines and music, now you can add another form of media onto the list because he is set to release his own photobook with pictures taken of him travelling in Kyoto.

These photos are amazingly dreamy, in the same indie style and aesthetics as those taken for Jasper's dreampop band, Morning Call. That's because the photographer is Jasper's good friend and Morning Call's photographer, who goes by the name Manbo Key. The man has an impeccable indie style, appealing to the soft, nostalgic, dreams of youth and forgotten memories. You can find his work instagram. I've also started a post with all Manbo Key's past works featuring Jasper here.

If you'd like a sneak peek of the photobook, here's the video. The song playing in the background is 'Behind Youth' by Morning Call (I've translated the lyrics of the song here.)


And if you're looking for the book itself, it'll be on sale on the 24th of July, with both a special edition copy and a regular copy. The special edition copy comes with some cute bonus things like mini polaroids and what look to be mini write-your-own caption stickers. A sneak peak of the photobook can be found on the publisher's site, though I've also posted the pictures here:
