Special Edition (Limited edition of 8 )
This luxurious edition features a pearl-white mat accented with a gold nameplate, creating an elegant and refined presentation. On the back of each framed piece, Akemi Takada personally adds her handwritten signature, the customer’s name, and a rough sketch of Madoka Ayukawa’s eyes — making every work truly unique. Additionally, each Special Edition print is individually finished with a fine spray of pearl pigment, giving it a radiant luster that shifts beautifully with the viewing angle. A brilliant, celebratory artwork worthy of this milestone anniversary. -
Deluxe Edition (Limited edition of 100 )
The same size as the original, which is one size larger than the standard version. - Standard Edition (Limited edition of 300 )
On the Original, from Akemi Takada
Time falls equally upon everyone.
Even so, I paint with the hope of preserving on paper the same brilliance that once shone so vividly on that day.
For this piece, I reimagined and remade one of my earliest illustrations of Kimagure Orange Road — originally created for an LP jacket — revisiting the original artwork and adding new arrangements.
As we approach the 40th anniversary, I hope this illustration will mark a new beginning for the memories we all share.
