Double-sided 13-page card-type desk calendar (including cover)
[2026.4.1～2027.3.31]
The title of this calendar is "ASTRAL OFFICE."
Set in the familiar space of the workplace, the film expresses a slightly strange world where reality and fantasy intersect. All filming took place in an actual office, making use of spaces such as the terrace and basement. While making use of the realistic environment, the film also emphasizes the sense of fantasy within it.
The story unfolds along the flow of a day's work, from getting ready in the morning before going to work, to desk work, chores, and even a quick break. However, there is something unsettling about this everyday routine.
The outfits are also carefully selected by Ota, and feature a mix of on and off-duty looks, including various suit styles in different colors and textures, relaxed knit vests, and edgy leather jackets, all in a total of 12 poses. The story of a "strange office" unfolds with each turn of the page, from the busyness of work to unexpected expressions and surreal moments.
We hope you will enjoy this world where reality and fantasy intersect throughout the year.
Comment from Masaki Ota
"We are pleased to announce the release of the 2026-2027 calendar "ASTRAL OFFICE."
This time, the theme is "Office x Strange." What kind of "strangeness" could we express in an office, where we spend our daily lives casually? We brainstormed various ideas for shooting methods, gimmicks, and other aspects as we worked on the shoot. Since the setting is an office worker, I dressed in all sorts of suits, but I made a conscious effort to emphasize the "strangeness" visually by deliberately emphasizing a sense of fashion. I asked Izaki Ryutaro to take the photos, and by mixing both digital and film photos, I think we were able to further express a mysterious worldview where reality and unreality blend together. I hope that everyone will enjoy the strange and slightly amusing daily life of the office worker I play through the calendar."
