■”More natural and bold…I’m grateful that I was able to create such a wonderful work in the year that marks the 25th anniversary of my debut.” (Maki Goto)
It has been announced that Maki Goto will release a photo book “flos” to commemorate her 25th anniversary since her debut on November 29th.
September 9, 1999, Morning Musume. Maki Goto made her debut in the entertainment industry at the age of 13 and has spent a glorious time as an idol and artist. Three years have passed since the previous work “Ramus” which became a hot topic. Now that she has matured as an artist and a woman and has become even more attractive, “ramus” (Latin for branch) has bathed in the warm sun and bloomed into “flos” (Latin for flower).
Every day is fulfilling, so take a deep breath and move forward. With the theme of “relaxing time to unwind yourself,” which is important for adults, we shot in Yamagata in the winter and Jeju Island in South Korea in the summer.
This is a book that literally feels like an “evolution” in content from the previous work “Ramus”, which was a big hit, having been reprinted six times, and breaking the all-time top record for Kodansha electronic photo books, which it still holds today.
We take a close look at Maki Goto’s smile and beautiful figure as she freely and gracefully releases herself in a relaxed moment.
On a quiet winter morning, she looks sleepy in her yukata, smiles enchantingly as she feels the warmth of the hot springs, and plays with the snow in a pure, childish way. In winter in Yamagata, we follow Maki Goto as she enjoys her winter trip in a moist and glamorous way, showing different expressions at night and in the morning.
And during the summer on Jeju Island, he was captured full of the “sense of freedom” that can only be found at a resort. At the beach, in the bedroom. We captured a glimpse of a summer moment when the gentle moments unleashed her soft skin and supple limbs, revealing her true radiance.
The beautiful and nude world is filled with a unique sense of transparency that makes even female fans happy. Their carefree smiles and adult expressions make you feel like you are on a journey together.
[Highlights of the photo book]
■Adult transparency! Full of ageless brilliance at 39 years old
It has been 25 years since I debuted at the age of 13. Maki Goto, who has an innocent smile, an innocent expression, and the charm of a mature adult, condenses the unique charm of a 39-year-old into a single book. Content that gives you a sense of rich expressiveness.
■Comprised of a large volume of 144 pages!
His previous work, “Ramus”, was very popular due to its 128-page volume and a variety of cuts. This work, “flos,” is an unusually large volume of 144 pages in order to convey love and gratitude to the fans. Maki in summer, Maki in winter, a permanent preservation version that has the taste of spending various times together.
■The supple “Gomaki body” and its expression have also evolved.
Like the branches of a tree putting on flowers, his expressions have evolved since his previous work, “ramus”. With 144 pages of beautiful photos, you can enjoy the amazing “Gomaki body” that women aspire to. The flexible limbs are expressed in a variety of ways that make you want to touch them. Lingerie cuts, winter hot springs, and some time in bed. A must-see is the way she liberates herself and shows off her charm, saying, “I was able to express myself more boldly.”
■The project started with a message from Maki Goto. The staff of the blockbuster hit “Ramus” reunites
Maki Goto once again approached the staff of the previous work “Ramus” and the project started. In addition to photographer Yasuhisa Kikuchi, who is active in women’s magazines and advertisements, she exchanges opinions with knowledgeable staff members and faces the camera in a more natural and authentic manner.
