Private Diary 1999 (while actually published in 1996) portrays a gritty Tokyo landscape juxtaposed against Araki's signature erotic shots. Playing to his style, the photos are extremely "intimate" to say the least, but also exhibit more casual shots of Araki himself along with his close friends. This book is a real gem, a beautiful collection of photos that perfectly display the Tokyo underground as well Araki's obsession with eroticism. Araki is known to seamlessly blend fine art with the profane, and this work is no exception.
