Known for its high-quality photographs printed on thick glossy paper Music Life was reportedly one of Japan’s best selling magazines during the 1960s and '70s and featured photos and interviews with everyone that was anyone especially musical acts that were “big in Japan” like Queen, The Runaways, David Bowie, Debbie Harry, Frank Zappa, and KISS...
According to Dangerous Minds, the magazine got its real start sometime in 1951 after a failed launch five-years earlier in 1946. When a former member of the magazine’s editorial staff, Hoshika Rumiko, took over as the magazine’s editor in 1964, she also became the first Japanese journalist to interview The Beatles in London and then once again when the band came to Japan in 1966.
Music Life called it a day in 1998 and Rumiko is working on a book on her life as a music journalist to be released in autumn 2016.
