We have been promoting the project "OUT IN JAPAN", in which we photograph and widely publish on websites, photo exhibitions, photo books, etc.

So far, we have held a total of 21 photo sessions in 10 cities, including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Sapporo, Tohoku, Hiroshima, Setouchi, Okinawa, and Kanazawa. parties are participating. Various celebrities such as talent Kayo Sato, IVAN, artist Chu Nakamura, voice actor Yuji Mitsuya, former athlete Nanae Takizawa, and couples using the local government's partnership oath system. It is a project that has been created with participants of various ages, occupations, and genders.

With the cooperation of "X8 GALLERY" in Shibuya Cat Street, we have decided to hold the "OUT IN JAPAN 2023 Spring Photo Exhibition".
