According to an interview during the book's release press conference, the one who inspired him to make it was Hey! Say! JUMP's Ryosuke Yamada, who had released his own to celebrate his 30th birthday. The name of the book, "Latido", was chosen as a consequence of the place where the photoshoot took place, San Sebastián in Spain.
