Book: BLUE Tokyo 1968 – 1972

Hanging out with his fellow Rikkyō University classmate Haruomi Hosono, Mike Nogomi privately photographed the members of ‘Happy End’ and other musicians at their live concerts, studio recordings, and backstage, all of whom would go on to become important figures for the Japanese music scene. Being there by way of his connection with Hosono, Nogami was frequently capturing people yet to enter the spotlight and has preserved this period as a document of extreme value.
