SMAP leader Nakai Masahiro has released his first illustration book "Shabondama no Kiseki" (The Miracle of the Soap Bubble) on 27 August in conjunction with the impending launch of the movie "Gekijouban ATARU - THE FIRST LOVE & THE LAST KILL -" on 14 September. The story was written by Nakai using Chokozai, his character name in the ATARU series, and based on the SMAP song "Nee..." also written by him. The book features a little girl whose pet passes away and Chokozai then consoles the girl who is blowing soap bubbles by conveying the message that important people in their lives may seem to have left them but are actually close to them after all.

Besides the illustration book, there is a narration CD attached where Nakai plays the role of Chokozai and Horikita Maki who also appears in the ATARU movie plays the role of the little girl.
