Message from the photographer

Haruka was good at finding something enjoyable. Her favorite season was, of course, summer! Her outlook was, “Everything is so interesting. It would be a pity not to have fun!” She would be outdoors even in the hot humid summer days. With her favorite water pistol in one hand, she would spray everything the whole summer long. Her passion was as hot as the summer heat. Spray her with water and she would ignite. I am so proud of my friend, who is invigorating and never forgets her spirit.

About the subject

At high school, I made friends with someone with a completely unique character. I was attracted to her mischievous nature. She was always spontaneously doing something different every moment. I could never keep up with her.
