This is a photobook of Japanese singer and actress Midori Kinochi (1957). Kinochi debuted as a singer in 1974 and gained popularity for her pure and fresh presence. In 1977, she had a hit with "Garasuzaka" and expanded her activities from singer to actress, appearing in the TV drama "Keiji Inu Karl" and the film "Yakyuukyo no Uta". This book is an essay and photobook that captures Kinochi around the time she turned 20 in 1977. The photography was done by Taishi Hirokawa (1950), who would later become one of Japan's leading photographers. Hirokawa later became active in numerous advertising and fashion photography projects, including for PARCO, and is known for works such as "SONOMAMA SONOMAMA," but this book is also interesting as it is one of the works he undertook in the early stages of his career. Focusing on outdoor portraits that make use of natural light, the book freely captures Kinochi's unpretentious expressions and youthful demeanor, and also includes writings by Kinochi herself. This is more than just a photobook of an idol; it conveys the atmosphere of the 1970s and the true face of a young woman through photographs and words. The fact that it has gone through multiple printings reflects its popularity, demonstrating the presence of Midori Kinochi at the time. Second printing.
