This photo book features the American rock band The Runaways. This book, originally published as a special edition of Shogakukan's BIG GORO magazine, was photographed by Kishin Shinoyama during the band's 1977 tour of Japan. The "Gekisha" series, a project capturing 1970s youth culture and stars through photographs that emphasized immediacy and physicality over staged performances, was characterized by its close proximity and sense of speed. This approach served to solidify the passion of consumer culture, such as rock and idols, along with the atmosphere of the era. The Runaways were an unusual rock band formed entirely by teenage girls. The rebellious energy of vocalist Cherry Currie and future solo artist Joan Jett created a strong sense of incongruity in the male-dominated rock scene of the time. This book captures not only the band's dynamic performances onstage, but also the tension and excitement of their visit. Through the "Gekisha" format, it serves as a vivid documentary documenting the vivid moments of 1970s rock and teenage culture.
