Sketch of blue

A cross-country jazz journey across America, pursuing a picture-perfect reality. Inspired by the passionate spirit of Dai Miyamoto, the protagonist of the popular manga "BLUE GIANT," the editor embarked on a solo journey across America, from Seattle to New York, camera in hand, capturing the real-world sounds of jazz. Across 10 cities and 10 chapters, the soundscape is packed with everything from unknown local artists to up-and-coming popular performers and touring international acts from Europe, creating an immersive experience where you can almost hear the music as you turn the pages. The essays accompanying each city reveal how the project evolved from an initial pilgrimage to a lifelong passion. And of course, the landscapes of each city evoke a sense of travel and adventure. It's as if another story has leaped out of the manga. A new kind of book that transcends categories—music, travel, photography—and graces bookstore shelves with its unique style!
