It has been a long time since the "publishing recession" was first proclaimed, and the size of the publishing market has been shrinking year by year. While it is said that bookstore sales have increased compared to the previous year due to the impact of spending more time at home this year, it is certainly not an optimistic situation.
Amidst this, there are publishers who have been taking on challenges such as new promotions and community building utilizing note. On note, we will welcome Keishiro Otsuka from Rights Sha and Akira Yamaguchi from Hayakawa Publishing as guests, and hold a talk event to think together with them about “New ways for books and readers to meet using digital technology.”
In a society where digitalization is rapidly advancing, how should publishers deliver books to readers? And what role can note play in that?
The moderator will be Yui Shimura, a book-loving note director who has also worked as a bookstore clerk. Let's think about the future of books together.
▼ note is currently holding a joint book review submission project with various publishers called #AutumnOfReading2020. After you finish reading a book, please try posting a review on note!
Speaker Profiles
Keishiro Otsuka
Representative Director/Editor-in-Chief, Rights Sha
Born in 1986. Joined a Kyoto publisher in 2008. After serving as editor-in-chief, he became independent at age 30. In September 2016, he founded Rights Sha in his hometown of Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture. Recent books he has edited include "DRAG QUEEN" (Nagi Yoshida) and "Let's Reduce Sales." (Akemi Nakamura). "Ryuji-style Devil's Recipe" (Ryuji) won the grand prize at the "Cooking Recipe Book Awards in Japan 2020."
Something that made him happy recently was being featured in the magazine "Sotokoto," which he had failed to get into during his job hunt.

Akira Yamaguchi
Executive Officer / General Manager of Business Division, Hayakawa Publishing Corporation
Born in 1975. Joined Hayakawa Publishing in 2003. Basically a book editor, but due to a fickle personality, he started selling overseas rights, mediating film rights, and merchandising, so he has been unable to move much lately. His main responsibilities include Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go," Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow," David Gordon's "The Serialist," George Orwell's "1984" T-shirt, and the Agatha Christie 100th Anniversary goods. For recent publications, he recommends "Educated" by Tara Westover, translated by Riko Murai. Lately, he is usually thinking about money.
