Over in Japan, it's a common practice for popular female celebrities, be they singers, models or actresses to come out with gorgeous picture books. Usually these are rather elaborate, hardbound, full color coffee table books with attractive, sometimes risque poses of said celebrities in everything from eveningwear to casual clothes to lingerie to, in a few instances, nothing at all. The girls of Pink Lady were no exception as Mie and Kei both came out with solo picture book projects. In 1989, Kei came out with one such book called "C'est un Amour" ("It Is One Love"). The bulk of the photography was done in Bali, and the beautiful scenery there matched quite well with the equally beautiful Ms. Masuda. Also, this afforded me the perfect opportunity I'd been looking for to use the oh, so clever header above! Many thanks to Philbert Ono from Japan who's company, PhotoGuide Japan I ordered this rare book from. So, click on a link below and join Kei-chan in a tropical paradise!
