Here are details regarding the book entitled "Words of Prince" by Takuya “Takki” Futaesaku:

"Previously published in Japan, this updated English version brings the Prince story full circle in three parts - Prince’s words and background, Q&A and special interviews and conversations...

Takki talks with Duane Tudahl, Heidi Vader, David Rusan and Jacqui Thompson as Q&A, while Tony M, Morris Hayes, Marva King, Steve Parke St. Paul Peterson, Speech, Tamar Davis, Lenka Paris, Greg Boyer and Nik West provide a behind the curtain look at what it was like to work and collaborate with Prince."

Here are more details:

That sounds amazing. Unfortunately, lots of the stuff I have read about Prince only came from the pens and keyboards of Western people. It's nice to see a Japanese scholar publishing a book about Prince.
