百恵白書 - Momoe hakusho

Release:  5/21/1977
Rank:  3rd (Oricon)
Singles:  None.
Obi:  このアルバムは、私の分身、この中に18歳の、そう制服をぬいだわたしのすべてが入っています 山口百恵  (This album is my self, my 18 year old self with the school uniform off, my everything is inside.  Yamaguchi Momoe.)
Notes:  This was her first concept album.  The title could mean "Momoe's Blank Page".
Opinion:  A very personal album touching on things like where she came from (Yokosuka), a typical "day" for her (Track 2), to a tribute to the 4 heroines she played in the "Red Series" dramas (a huge 9 minute Track 4).  Track 5 is a very cute spoken track.

1.  I CAME FROM 横須賀 (Yokosuka)
2.  鏡の中のある日 (kagami no naka no aru hi) [A Day in the Mirror]
3.  いた・せくすありす (ita sekusuarisu) [Vita Sexualis]
4.  赤のシリーズ・四人の少女に捧げる 約束 (aka no SERIES yonnin no shojyo ni sasageru Yakusoku) [Red Series: Dedicated to Four Girls: Promise]
5.  間奏曲 (kansoukyoku) [Interlude]
6.  二十歳前夜 (hatachi zenya) [Eve of 20 Years Old]
7.  お菓子職人 (okashi shokunin) [Candy Maker]
8.  ボーイッシュ・ベイビー (BOYISH BABY)
9.  ミス・ディオール (MISS DIOR)
10. 歌い継がれていく歌のように (utai-tsugareteiku uta no you ni) [Like a Song Passed Down Through the Ages]
