Louis Vuitton’s Japanese announcement on October 27 detailed a new K/DA collaboration with Riot Games in its Travel Book series. The book was issued October 16, and follows a day in the lives of the four virtual performers in an imagined city.
The standard edition has 122 pages and costs 6,820 yen including tax. A larger 400-copy edition is listed at 25,300 yen. The announcement describes French, English and Chinese versions and 70 drawings. A separate 30-copy limited edition includes a record with four previously unreleased tracks.
International fan outlook and trend context — Editorial forecast
The Travel Book series has explored real places since 2010; this installment is described by the publisher as its first wholly fictional destination. Overseas K/DA fans interested in illustrated storytelling may find that change appealing because it extends the group’s setting into a book they can explore beyond the songs. This is an editorial forecast, not evidence of measured overseas demand.
The record is attached to the separate limited edition, not automatically to every book. Consult Louis Vuitton for edition-specific contents, store availability and ordering; the announced print quantities do not establish remaining stock.
