匿名からの質問: (same anon) Awesome, proud of & happy for you. <3!
Thank you! Now I’m curious as to who you are!
匿名からの質問: has an interview today, for what, modelling job?
No, not a modeling gig. I actually haven’t done any modeling in a while (not that I was ever that active to begin with). I’ve been working on the other side of the fashion industry instead, since it’s ultimately what I feel more comfortable doing.
As for what I got hired for, well, it’s actually going to be a side job for me, but once again, it’s fashion related. Vague? Oh yes. I actually don’t know the full details of everything I’ll be responsible for doing yet though, that’s why.
It’s kind of funny though, my official educational background is in the sciences.
今まで…
1. I chopped off about 5 to 6 inches of hair (or maybe longer, I can’t recall) back in mid-March, and now it’s almost back to the length I started off with. My hair grows entirely too fast. I’m now debating on whether or not I want to go for an asymmetric bob with a partially shaved side, or back to a Tatsurou-style mullet.
2. I had an interview today. About 3 hours afterwards, I received a call saying that I got the position. They told me beforehand that they had quite a large group of people scheduled for interviews tomorrow, but apparently they’re not even waiting to go through those applicants. I feel kind of bad for them?
3. I was recently featured on NHK’s Kawaii International program. The episode aired this past Saturday in Japan.
4. My current style inspiration: GADGET GROW and monomania. Both brands are feeding my addiction to (and subsequently, the collection of) sarrouel pants.
5. Back in March, I met the members of RIZE, saw them live, got their autographs, and had the opportunity to just chat and joke around with Jesse (in a strange mix of Japanese and English). They were all unbelievably friendly and sweet. It’s definitely been one of the most memorable experiences to date. Here’s an image of Jesse performing in the middle of the audience that night, shot by Rio Ryosuke Suzuki. You can see the character for my name (螢) on his hand, because he wanted to personalize my CD and wasn’t sure of the kanji so he asked me to write it out.

★ It’s been exactly 15 years since May 4th, 1997. Congratulations on 15 years together, as a band, and as a group of best friends. Thank you, always, for lighting up my life with your music and your unique personalities. To say you’ve changed my life in the 11+ years that I’ve been a fan would be the understatement of the century. I’ve met so, so many wonderful people thanks to you guys. I hope that all of us 夢烏 (MUCKERS) are able to continue to witness your musical growth and passion as artists for many more years to come. ムックの結成15周年おめでとうございます！！ずっと応援します～❤

I think that to love and to be loved can give great strength. It’s not like me to say this, but I do think love holds the strength that makes people live on.
I’m not someone who can be loved, but I would like to be able to love.

New York Meetup?
まぁ、この週末L’Arc~en~CielとRIZEはNew Yorkのライブがある。ライブに行ったら、フォローワーさん会える？Meetupを開催しようか、皆さんと一緒に？でも何にすればいいのか？カフェー開催どうかな～？あとで、ショッピングするのか。ファッションや音楽や日本文化などについて話をする。もちろん日本語も英語、どちもオーケー（笑）

Ah, this weekend, L’Arc~en~Ciel and RIZE are having concerts in New York. Will I see any of you there if I go? Shall we do a meetup? Not sure what things would be good to do, but maybe a cafe meet? And then shopping afterwards? We can talk about fashion, music, Japanese culture, and other things of that nature. Of course, both Japanese and English are okay with me ^^
I’ll definitely be at the L’Arc live, but I haven’t finalized the plans for RIZE yet.
(Also, excuse my rusty Japanese. It’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to it…)
EDIT: Will definitely be there, rocking out at RIZE’s live. Fuck yeah.

この人生はフィクションです。
My schedule for this past month and a half has been insane. No time to update, and my already poor sleeping schedule has been even more irregular than usual. This upcoming week will be the most insane of all, and then hopefully things will slow down from there. Highlights of it to (hopefully) include:
→ Multiple trips to the physical therapist’s office
→ Upcoming photoshoot to update my modeling portfolio
→ Applying for a dream show of mine, for the opportunity to walk for one of my favourite brands and work with one of my most respected designers. I’m ridiculously nervous about it.
→ Adding some red to my hair (which, by the way, I hacked off 10 inches of and changed the style a bit)
→ Update my ID
→ New York trip & meetup with an old friend
→ Viewing the exhibits for the works of Ito Jakuchu, Hokusai Katsushika, and Kano Kazunobu. Perhaps sitting in on a lecture or two, if I can squeeze in the time for it.
→ お花見行きたいぃ。今年こそゆっくり夜桜見物したい～ (I want to go cherry blossom viewing. This year, for certain, I want to slowly view the blossoms at nightfall.)
→ Translations, lots and lots of translations. Chinese to English. Japanese to English.
