Nowadays, places where you can smoke are limited, and cigarettes themselves have a strong negative reputation as being bad for your health. However, back in the 1970s, when Maki Asakawa was active, cigarettes were smoked freely and everywhere.

Nevertheless, it's also true that there was a prevailing attitude that women shouldn't smoke.

Maki Asakawa looks good with a cigarette.

It may have been a manifestation of her strong will, a refusal to conform to the times or be swept along by them.

From the wafting cigarette smoke, Maki Asakawa emerges. The music that can be heard is the blues.

I drew a picture like that.
