OPEN A LITTLE OF THEIR LIFE

A photograph.
The words that belong beside it.

Choose a person, then turn through ten memories. Three fictional books to help you imagine your own.

Including the side of you we never knew.

Happy 60th birthday, Dad.

MEMORY01

Keeper of the red toolbox

At primary-school age, you managed the red toolbox as if it belonged to you. When my bicycle bell stopped ringing, you spread newspaper in the hall and repaired it.

“Don’t leave it in the rain next time,” you said importantly. But your back looked rather pleased as you put the tools away.

From your sister

Who came to mind as you read?

One question is enough to begin. Collecting is free during early access.

Start collecting my own stories

These examples use fictional people and stories with generated photographs. The on-screen layout is a reading preview, not a physical print proof.

The teenage father practicing guitar with friends beside a school building before a festival (generated image, fictional example)

From the fictional Dad at 60 sample. The photograph and story are fictional.

Beyond the photograph

Give them the stories they have never heard.

Dad was quiet at home. His friend told us he was the first to sing at the college festival.

An old friend or former colleague may remember a different side of the person you know. Send one question, review the stories that come back, and arrange them with photos. The book follows one person's life through the memories of others.

WHO WILL YOU GIVE IT TO?

Begin with someone.
And one good question.

You do not need a finished album or a room full of photographs. Start by asking one person for one memory.

Choose an occasion

YOUR FIRST QUESTION

Include the side of them you have never known.

An old friend, a colleague, a sibling. Ask people who knew them at different times.

How it works

Begin with one question.

  1. 01

    Send a question to someone who remembers

    An old friend, grandparent, sibling or former colleague. Make a personal link for one contributor.

  2. 02

    Review the story they send

    Contributors can reply without an account. The organizer reviews a story before invited members can see it.

  3. 03

    Arrange the photos and words

    Choose the stories, cover and order. The words people submitted are never silently rewritten.

Before you make a book

What does gift PDF finishing add to the free book?

Basic books and viewing PDFs remain free during early access. The optional gift PDF adds three cover styles, a dedication, automatic contents and contributor credits. Its planned price is ¥500 per album, tax included, with no subscription. Payments are in preparation; you can try the editor and finished sample PDF for free.

Can I order a printed book now?

Not yet. We will announce the specifications, price and delivery timing before taking print orders or payments. Gift PDF finishing does not include a physical book or delivery.

Can I make one with only a few photos?

Yes. You can keep a story without a photograph and place it alongside stories that do have photos.

Who can see a real book's stories?

Only the organizer and invited members can see the memories. A contribution link does not give its recipient permission to browse them.

Are these real customers' books?

No. All three people and their stories are fictional, and the photographs are generated. We do not use anyone's private memories in examples without permission.

Would you like to know when printed books launch?
