shiika “SOMEWHERE IN HER ROOM” - Information
About the Content
A collection of drawings and text by illustrator shiika, who is based in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture.
The collection includes all 12 works released between August 2021 and September 2022, which were featured on the top page of the web shop rovakk musikk as main visuals on a monthly basis.
Set in the room where a fictional "girlfriend" lives, the film vividly depicts the colorful mental landscape that a favorite record brings to the everyday space.
The format is the same size as a rectangular 8cm CD jacket, and the binding was done by Bobby, owner of the indie label Chocolate and Lemonade in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture.
The book has been carefully stitched together to make it easier to open, and the endpapers and case are made from tracing paper, giving it finishing touches that can only be achieved through DIY.
Comes with a special coaster with a record label design.
Serial number on the obi.

Bookbinding Finishing
There are two types available: with or without paper tape at the adhesive part between the main body and the cover.
The initial lot (those with lower serial numbers) is the "None" type.

All other contents and specifications are exactly the same.
For the "None" type, slight peeling marks may be visible depending on the individual item.
