HARUNA, all-girl band SCANDAL's frontman, will be releasing her first photo book on her 30th birthday. 110 pages of her first expressions she showed on a trip to the south. Additionally, she talks about work and love in an interview that's over 15,000 words...

---

HARUNA ran through her 20s as the frontman of SCANDAL and will be celebrating her 30th birthday on 2018/ 8/10. She set off on a journey after their tour in Japan had just finished. A word that expresses her current self is 「SOMEWHERE」, meaning "everywhere but here." There is no destination--it's still yet to be seen.

The pictures of HARUNA in this book reflect a healthy heart and body and show a wide variety of expressions. Confidence gained through band activities, an unyielding spirit that doesn't give in even in the face of setback, a look of staring at everything straightforwardly, a smile of a young girl, sadness and kindness experienced through real love, an expression of an adult, and a frankness never seen before. Please enjoy this session shot with photographer Tsutomu Ono during the few days HARUNA took of vacation away from the band.

Also included is an interview where she speaks candidly about things such as the band, work, and love. A book that'll reverberate with fans of SCANDAL and HARUNA, of course, and adult women of the same generation.
