Jin Akinishi’s back resting in Tokyo after his epic US tour, but his image remains with us. Quite literally. During his NYC stop, we snapped some images during his exclusive interview taping, and then on the cobblestoned streets of Manhattan’s West Village. It’s a good thing no else was around when we caught these candid shots, because Jin’s normal weekday look would still have stopped traffic.

If this slideshow leaves you panting for me, check out his intimate self-portraits for images of Jin as he sees himself, as you’ve never seen him before.
