THE SCOOTERS is a band Bruce met soon after arriving in Japan.
Among its members, he was especially drawn to the character of Lucy, the tenor saxophonist, which led him to create a photo series titled “I Love Lucy,” with her as the central figure.
This photograph was taken in 1984 in Harumi, Chuo Ward, before the area underwent redevelopment.
Last year, THE SCOOTERS released a new album for the first time in 30 years—and its cover featured one of Bruce’s photographs from the “I Love Lucy” series taken three decades ago.
Yesterday, Lucy and the band’s vocalist, Beauty, came to visit the venue of the Isshiki Beach Art Exhibition, currently being held at Shiosai Park in Hayama.
After viewing the exhibition, we took a walk around Hayama, enjoying a day soothed by the sounds and scents of the sea.
