Saki Sohee and Kai, two women who met through a shared interest in feminism, politics, and Taiwan, have created the second issue of their magazine, "over and over magazine," based in Taiwan and Japan respectively. Their aim is to gather the small voices that inevitably exist in this dark, dystopian world and to bring about "change" within their generation. Today, "East Asia" and "Asia" are widely recognized in culture, including food, fashion, and sports, and at times we can see glimpses of solidarity that transcends nationality and race. However, can we truly "stand in solidarity" when faced with the unchangeable fact of history? This book explores the voices of people living within the narrative of Asia, the choices made, the choices that couldn't be made, and the choices that were erased—a book that asks, "What is East Asia?"

"YUSHIN," a fashion enthusiast, has created his first zine, a photo collection of fashion and clothing, created freely according to his sensibilities. It features works remade from vintage clothing he personally selected and outfits put together using clothes from his own closet. As this is a memorable first work, he has opted for a limited publication system, wanting to deliver it in a limited quantity. He hopes that people will pick it up with the image of an early item from a luxury brand, and that it will one day become a cherished item.

"If you let others choose the photos to include in your photobook, won't it reflect how others see you?" This photobook was created as a way for five photographers—Hiraki and Tamaki (the organizers), Gonta, Shirokuma, Nako, and Hiyoko-no-ko—to confront "each other" and "photography" and answer that question. It captures the individuality of each photographer and the emotions they felt the moment they pressed the shutter. We hope this book will become a ship that takes you to various landscapes once you pick it up.
