A collection of works by Japanese photographer Taro Hirano "The Kings". Following the "Pool" (2005) and "Los Angeles Car Club" (2016), this is a book from the American trilogy, which was taken every August in "Elvis Week" in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. It is composed of illustrations. There is a “Tribute Artist” all over the world who loves Elvis Presley and sings Elvis songs as Elvis, and they come to Memphis to sing at this week. Also, they think of them as real Elvis, and even the fan base, centered on mature women who visit the live, gathers a strange excitement. Elvis-friendly women dressed in Western style and wearing large trademark sunglasses, and Elvis-loving women who are looking back to their younger days and enjoying their fashionable style. A photographer who has put himself in a festival that is unthinkable in Japan, once again asks us, "What is Japanese?" with "Japanese" through "American culture". ("King" means that Tribute Artist calls Elvis "King" in honor)
