Remarques & avis / Review — Girls Blue est la fantastique entrée en photographie de HIROMIX après avoir remporté le 11ème prix Canon New Cosmos of Photography / prix ARAKI en 1995, conseillée par HOMMA Takashi, qui généra un véritable engouement auprès des jeunes filles japonaises pour le photo-journal intime — de très bons clichés très colorés et désinvoltes, pleins de jeunesse, très Seventies dans l'esprit, portraits des amis de lycée, sorties, choses de tous les jours, et ces superbes auto-portraits, y compris celui au revers de la jaquette, où elle pose seins nus.

"Photography is the only place where I can express all what I feel and think in my everyday life. It would not be understood by grown-ups or kids — only we can see what it is." (HIROMIX, postface)
