I was too ignorant of the music industry, so I called out to bandsmen and rappers I knew and held a gathering to share information, drink and play the guitar under the name of "Adult Guitar Association".
After that, it was November 2019, two years later, that the first original sound source was formed.
1. Tell us about your background and journey.
Born as the youngest of three siblings in a countryside with abundant nature surrounded by the sea and mountains in Japan.
Raised in single parents family which had a serious background.
Until the third year of college, I was planning to become a civil servant following my brothers.
However, inspired by my juniors who had already moved to Tokyo, I thought that there was something else I wanted to do, so I decided to move to Tokyo after submitting a leave of absence notification.
The work I received immediately after moving to Tokyo was a major turning point for me to settle in Tokyo.
The main cast and main visual of the music video BRADIO's MV.
It gave me a lot of confidence that I could do it in Tokyo.
The start in Tokyo started with talking to the agency that had received the business card about the contract.
However, what the agency wants does not meet what I want, so I decided to work as a freelance model and continue to the present.
I became able to get a job through Instagram, and I was absorbed in creating works in collaboration with creators and photographers both in Japan and overseas.
2. What inspired you to pursue modelling?
When I was in college, I received a model scout, and there was a time when I was moving around as a model instead of another part-time job.
At that time, I felt the joy of expressing myself and the freshness of my new side as seen through the camera.
Also, since I was a kid, I loved acting and singing in plays, and I realized that there were people who would be pleased with it by expressing myself freely.
From there, I think I got into the world of artists through the work of modelling in earnest.
3. When and how did you developed an interest in music?
I was interested in music even before I realized it.
I was a kid who was humming the melody that came to my ears all the time.
As a child, I was happy to show it to my family and make them smile.
My dream for the future was to become a singer even in my oldest memory.
Even when I was a student, I loved being involved in music, such as forming a copy band and joining the brass band club.
The reason I decided to put out the original music was that I felt the limits of expression while working as a model.
In client work, it was difficult to get out of what I was particular about and what I liked, and I often had feelings of regret and sickness.
I wanted to express the overflowing emotions and difficulty of living in me, so I decided to make my song, which I liked the most as a way of expressing it.
That was around 2017. At that time, I was too ignorant of the music industry, so I called out to bandsmen and rappers I knew and held a gathering to share information, drink and play the guitar under the name of "Adult Guitar Association".
After that, it was November 2019, two years later, that the first original sound source was formed.
The two years were a series of trials and errors.
4. What is your skincare routine and what are tips would you give for healthy skin?
I always try to keep my skin dry so as not to reduce the barrier function of the skin.
Sunscreen is also essential.
After that, I sleep for more than 10 hours when I can sleep.
I try to eat homemade meals as much as possible, so I try not to take more seasonings and additives than necessary.
However, healthy skin needs to be stress-free, so it is important to play well, eat well, move well, and keep my mind healthy.
In other words, what is my recommended skincare? It is to look out from inside the body.
Sleep as much as possible and sleep in a good posture. Also, keep hydrated, actively take in healthy olive oil and avocado oil, and avoid taking other oils.
I think that a thorough review of the basic elements that make up the body is a core part of skincare.
5. How would you describe your favourite urban look?
For urban style, the keyword "street" fits me.
You can compare it to the world of The Walking Dead’ world,
Rather than being feminine, it's a style that allows you to survive as it is as if you were ready to fight.
I always want to wear something waterproof, functional, and protects me.
6. How do you face hardship and criticism?
I think difficulties and criticisms are toxins to the body.
Therefore, think about how to get them out effectively and efficiently and act accordingly.
Physically write the content on paper, turn it into lyrics, take screenshots of the text and send it to friends.
Once released as a substance, it separates from the body, and by looking at them from a bird's-eye view, physical stress is avoided.
In addition, we will cross them with anger and convert them into energy for the next so that they will produce positives by multiplying them with negatives.
That's what I'm doing.
7. What are tips and advice would you give to aspiring models and singers?
Around 2015, in my case, timing and compatibility were Instagram, and it became a tool to connect with people who support me. Using Instagram as my composite has become a valuable asset, even after deducting the task of updating it daily.
I think that the best tool will change with the times, and there is compatibility depending on the character of that person, so I can not say unconditionally, but it is still the most important to keep sending information constantly. I think.
