Description

"I should quit music. I do not have to be in a band, and I do not even have to play the guitar" -- that was how she felt at the time (from the text). Guitarist SAKI walked the major music scene and stood on the stage of Nippon Budokan with her own band. Behind a career that seemed smooth sailing, why did she try to step away from music. This book candidly recounts her life from childhood and school days, her encounter with rock music, her shocking meeting with Seikima II, her career as a professional guitarist, the whirlwind days of band activities, and the continuous struggles and choices she faced. It is a story of one woman becoming a solo musician, sharing her feelings toward the "sound" that awaits beyond, a book she wants to deliver not only to fans but to everyone involved in music. The opening section includes 64 pages of newly shot beautiful color gravure by photographer Nakayama Masafumi, deeply exploring the "true face" of artist SAKI from a visual perspective as well.
