First message on the announcement of the novel
I've finished writing my second novel "Senkou Scramble". My previous work "Pink & Gray" has been read by many people and I received a lot of support, I'm very thankful for this and it also brought me self-confidence. There are many new challenges I want to experience as NEWS member and novelist.
The title "Senkou Scramble" symbolizes the camera's flash, the bewilderment of entertainment world, the blending of Akiko and Takumi's lives. I've collected my fighting spirit and I wrote again something that only I could write, an entertaining work. I will be happy if you'll read this.

Sorry for being a little late, happy new year to everybody.
The cover design for my second novel "Senkou Scramble" has already been decided, we created a wonderful volume. It's really pretty so please, look forward to it.
There are still two months until the release, at the moment I'm having many interviews. I think you will see many of my interviews on magazines and similar as the release day will get closer, I hope you will read them and enjoy the contents of "Senkou Scramble" as well.
There's something more, right now we're holding a photo contest. Many people is partecipating, there are already a lot of photos in it, I'm extremely happy.
The theme I assigned is linked to the novel, "Light". I can't wait to select the photos you sent, whether they're funny, beautiful or simply close to you all.

Finally "Senkou Scramble" is ready to be sold.
I received many words of praise from people of the bookstores and popular writer of the entertainment literature, all the compliments shocked me a little, I want you readers to decide if those words spoke the truth or not.
The silver, golden, yellow cover is very noticeable in the bookstores too. Please check it out. I decided everything from the cover to the last page.
I'd be happy even if you only read the first chapter. I wrote this novel trying to make it an entertaining book that everybody can enjoy, I'll be extremely happy if you'll consider reading it.
The messages are taken from here. Since Shige wrote several during the promotion of Pink&Gray I expect him to do the same for his second novel. I will keep updated this post whenever he writes something new
