MYAKU-MYAKU, the official character of Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai, is set to release its first photo book, I myaku you., on Monday, April 13, 2026. The book is published by Felissimo and supervised by the 2025 Osaka Kansai Expo Master License Office, with photography by Tenten.
The title I myaku you. carries the meaning of making everyone's pulse (myaku) race with excitement and wonder — a sentiment directed from MYAKU-MYAKU to its fans.
After its big role at the 2025 expo, MYAKU-MYAKU headed to Okinawa for a 2-night, 3-day journey. Set against blue skies and clear seas, the 224-page full-color book captures playful moments on the beach, leisurely walks through town, and candid expressions at dusk — including sides of MYAKU-MYAKU that have never been seen before.
Purchasers will receive a special photo card as a bonus. The card features a carefully selected shot and comes in 5 types, with 1 randomly enclosed per copy.
