SUPER EIGHT member Tadayoshi Okura has released his first book, "Idol Keieisha" (Idol Manager), hitting shelves February 2nd. The book offers a behind-the-scenes look at his experiences as both an entertainer and business leader.

At yesterday's press conference held at Kodansha's Tokyo headquarters, Okura opened up about the challenges he's faced while juggling his idol career with his entrepreneurial ventures. The book promises to share his trial-and-error approach to management and leadership.

"Sometimes harsh words are necessary, but they must come from a place of love," Okura explained during the event, giving fans a glimpse into his management philosophy.

For international fans, SUPER EIGHT is the current iteration of the popular Johnny's group formerly known as Kanjani8. Okura, who serves as the group's drummer, has been expanding his horizons beyond entertainment in recent years, making him a unique voice in the idol industry.

The book appears to bridge the gap between Japan's idol culture and business world, offering insights that could appeal to both entertainment industry professionals and general business readers. Given Okura's dual perspective as both performer and entrepreneur, "Idol Keieisha" provides a rare insider's view of what it takes to succeed in multiple demanding fields simultaneously.
