### Content
This book is a lifestyle photo essay that explores the turbulent life and beauty secrets of Asami Kumakiri, who is known as the original 'clifftop idol' and will reach 46 years of age this year.
The author, who has experienced numerous hardships such as childhood bullying, setbacks during her idol days, romantic scandals, illness, and the loss of her beloved dog, candidly writes about how she crawled back up and achieved her current state of 'finally being able to like myself.'
What saved her was once-a-week 'Kitajima-style muscle training' and kickboxing. In this book, she reveals the methods that created her 'Zen-Koutei BODY' (Fully Affirmed Body), which defies her age, and her daily routines for maintaining beauty and health.
Furthermore, the book includes many newly taken photos capturing her well-trained muscles, adult charm, and relaxed natural face.
This book, written by her who has lived honestly with 'zero calculation,' serves as a message of encouragement for everyone struggling in life to live looking forward, loving themselves and those around them, without being bound by a single thing.
