It’s a sudden opening, but I’ll just launch right away into explaining this book (). People dreaming of becoming models! People dreaming of becoming idols! People with an interest in the world of television! People interested in what it’s like in the country! People who want to improve their physical constitution! People with an interest in health! People who have things they want to do but just can’t take the first step forward! People who want to know about the life of Koharu Kusumi from birth to the present! ese kinds of readers should read this book . I think! When I started writing this book, I was years old, but now, having finished writing it, I’ve turned . Because of that, the parts I wrote when I was came out of the -year-old Koharu, and the parts I wrote aer becoming are a product of the -year-old Koharu, so each piece of writing reflects the feelings I had at that point in time. My reason for just leaving everything unchanged is that I wanted to deliver it through the words of the real Koharu. e stories from when I was lile I wrote based on what I heard from my family, and I wrote while consulting with people at the office as well. I think there are some parts that are hard to read, but I thought, wouldn’t writing in Koharu’s own words best convey what I wanted to say?—so from the sentence writing style to the composition, to the paragraphs, to the arrangement of the table of contents, to the choice of words, everything was my own decision, and up through the last paragraph, was completed with my participation in the revision process. Since everything from the start to the end is wrien in Koharu’s own words, in- cluding some idiosyncratic Koharuisms that you won’t see in any regular book, I think everyone might find some parts a pain to read. I’d be happy if you think to yourself, “is is definitely Koharu’s book!” and have fun reading it. is is nonfiction of course (). F While writing this foreword, I was thinking . for a foreword, how much should I write, I wonder? Whenever I start to write something, I seem to keep going on forever, so I’ll go ahead and stop around here . (). at said, this is a book Koharu Kusumi wrote! So please knock on this door and look. Of course, this is designated an unrestricted-entry-and-exit zone. Please
