Miho Ichiki

Her influence can now be seen in a new generation of Japanese female filmmakers, such as Mai Hasegawa and Hinano Ushijima, who openly cite Ichiki’s "still camera" method. Film schools in Kyoto and Seoul now teach Memories of a Cute Girl as a case study in reflexive documentary—a film that does not just show the subject but constantly questions the act of being shown.

Ichiki has also pursued a music career, releasing several singles and albums. Her music style is a mix of pop and rock, often incorporating elements of electronic and dance music. Her songs are often upbeat and energetic, reflecting her lively and outgoing personality. miho ichiki
