First edition, 2003. The cover shows signs of aging, but the main body is in good condition. This is Mune masa's fifth and penultimate photobook, at the age of 28. She had always used the name "Miki," but changed it to hiragana this year, only to revert back to kanji soon after. Usually, name changes are done to mark a fresh start, but in Mune masa's case, she had already shifted to a sexy image two years prior, so it's a bit confusing. It's speculated that she might have been in an unstable position, or perhaps she was just wavering. Mune masa, a former race queen, gained recognition after being chosen for "Wan Gya" in 1999. Some members of "Wan Gya" later achieved success, but just before this, a scandal had surfaced, and some participants were criticized. There were suspicions from the beginning that Mune masa was involved, as she was chosen just before the scandal. In fact, she was removed from the show after only about six months, even though replacements usually took place on a yearly basis. Initially, Mune masa released photobooks with a cheerful and energetic tone, mainly featuring swimwear, but she changed her approach with this previous work. She released three more photobooks after that, but the order feels a bit disjointed, not following a clear timeline. This makes me think of some kind of instability. However, even though she has excellent proportions, being a former race queen, the change in direction added a certain sensuality (and a bit of a curveball). Not everyone becomes like this just by increasing exposure, so it can be said that a facet of her inherent talent was revealed. In that respect, it's good news for the readers...
