"Our generation is very fast-paced, especially for us 20-25 year-olds. We just feel like we must achieve something before we turn 30, and that’s so tiring.”

“I love listening to music and recently attended Fujii Kaze’s concert in Singapore. It was very crowded! I also enjoy going for music festivals like Fuji Rock back in Japan.”

“I’m creating a multi-purpose scarf inspired by the Korean wrapping cloth bojagi. People haven’t explored its use as a fashion accessory, which is what I’m trying to do.”

“Outside of music, I really love fashion. I love indulging in it and studying different brands, learning about their ethos and the way they construct their garments.”

“A lot of people don’t know this, but most bees don’t sting you—they’re really harmless! There are also blue bees (known as blue-banded bees) that exist!”

“If I don’t dress up, I don’t feel confident. So I started to dress up more and found that it isn’t about wearing expensive brands, but about knowing how to mix and match.”

“I was working day and night as a wedding coordinator, but my favourite part about the job was getting to take home the leftover fresh flowers at the end of each wedding.”

“I like collecting home decor, particularly vintage Japanese ones. They remind you that even objects that are damaged or incomplete are still perfect in their own sense.”

“I love watching movies! I have this thing with my best friend where we watch a movie every time we go out, and rate and discuss it afterwards. It’s quite an escape.”

“If I wear black one day, then I would try to wear a bit more colours the next day. I was wearing something darker yesterday, so today I’m in lighter colours!”

“2024 was the fifth circle of hell. I enjoyed it. I made unimaginable progress. Hopefully 2025 won’t be the sixth circle of hell. But also, hopefully it is."

“I’m wearing a tee that I designed myself—I have my own brand called Skull Porn, where I draw skulls, no porn! I got the domain name and thought it was a good catch.”
