Kenta Mizue 30th Anniversary Photo Book "Keep on" Release Event at Animate Osaka Nipponbashi

Animate Osaka Nipponbashi, located at 1-1-3 Nipponbashi Nishi, Naniwa-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka, will host a special event commemorating the release of Kenta Mizue's 30th Anniversary Photo Book, Vol. 2, "Keep on." This event offers fans a unique opportunity to interact directly with Kenta Mizue through a special gift handover session and a 2-shot Cheki (instant photo) session, allowing them to deeply experience the world of the photo book. The venue, Animate Osaka Nipponbashi's 5th-floor event space, is conveniently located and easily accessible.

The event spans two days, November 1st (Sunday) and November 2nd (Monday), 2026, with multiple sessions each day. On November 1st (Sunday), Part 1 will feature a special gift handover session, where participants will receive an "Kenta Mizue 30th Anniversary Photo Book Vol. 2 Another Cut Booklet" directly from Kenta Mizue himself. This exclusive bonus is distributed only to event participants and will be the same across all dates. All other sessions will be 2-shot Cheki sessions, allowing attendees to create lasting memories with a commemorative photo. Participation rights for the event are granted on a first-come, first-served basis to customers who pre-order the target photo book with immediate payment via Animate Online Shop's dedicated cart. No physical tickets will be issued; participation will be confirmed via a roster.

When planning your visit, there are several crucial points to note. Especially for the 5th (final) part each day, reception and closing times vary depending on the ticket type (FC pre-sale, Animate Online Shop, general sale). It is essential to confirm your specific participation right type beforehand and arrive within the designated time. Late arrivals, regardless of reason, including public transportation delays, will not be permitted entry to the event. Furthermore, participation rights for this event are non-cancellable for any reason; no refunds or changes will be accepted after purchase. In cases of multiple purchases leading to credit card payment errors, unpaid convenience store payments, or refusal to accept the product, personal information will be shared with the artist's agency and publisher, and strict measures will be taken. Therefore, utmost care is required during purchase.

Detailed assembly times and final precautions for event participation will be announced closer to the event date via the Animate Online Shop My Page.
