Girls Blue: Rockin' On. Photographs by Hiromix (Toshikawa Hiromi). Rockin' On Inc., Tokyo, 1996. 126 pp. Small quarto. First printing. Stiff photo-illustrated wrappers with reversible dust jacket; with transparent sticker and (scarce) printed obi [belly band]. Numerous color reproductions.
The very last entry in Parr & Badger's The Photobook: A History, vol. I. As they explain, the photographer who goes by the name Hiromix is a former student of Araki's who explores the world of Japanese teenage girls "from the inside, rather as Nan Goldin does for a different youth culture in the United States".
