Hello!
On Satoshi's site ( http://www.folders.jp/ ) I saw the cover of his new book.
Does anyone know what models will be in the book and when it goes on sale?
to be fair, i don't know what the hell that translation means.
if it is a fake, i have to confess that it's remarkably well done.
as to the contents of volume 2, i don't think anyone should doubt that it will be almost entirely previously published diagrams. of which, i believe, there are currently 18. if the phoenix is the "crown jewel" of volume 2, that means he has as many diagrammed models as volume 1.
i don't know what the delay is with either kamiya's book or komatsu's book. seems like it would be faster to publish their books then to wait for brian chan to draw all lots of diagrams. frankly, gallery origami house could release either anthologies with spiral binding a la OUSA, and i'm willing to bet folks here would still pay top dollar.
lastly, i do think it's important to note the DATE in japan right now (April 1).
It's definitely a fake. If you zoom in on the image, you can see artifacts from where the picture of the phoenix on the cover was clipped from the picture of the phoenix on the blue background in his gallery. Damn, and I spent the whole morning really looking forwards to this book
Darn, a fake!! this is what happened when I saw this.
Woah. oh my god. Oh my god Oh my god ohmy godohmyhodohmygodohmygod. Wow. This is.... Wow. calm down now... Calm down. Phew. *goes back to Origami Forum* What? FAKE? Noooooo.....

If you look on the tail, you see the stick it was mounted on.
I had a similar reaction to Peperlion's earlier today, but then I saw some other joke things from Japan, and thought "wait... Japan has a 12h+ timeskip! I hate you Kamiya!!!!!!!!! (until the book is released. Then I'll like him again)
Even if this is fake, it shows that Kamiya knows people are anticipated in his second book. And I think he is going to publish it for real.
