About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being a part of world without stranger.

ABOUT ME

I wanna see myself through other’s perspectives. It is similar with literary concept‘Defamiliarization’ which means seeing common things in an unfamiliar way, in order to enhance perception of the familiar. I expect that it will bring me higher level than now. I hope to be a part of media industry such as film, music, broadcasting. Also, my interests were getting concerned with sub-culture such as street fashions, aesthetics and sports. Because of its spontaneity, those contents corresponds with my identity which stands out as freewheeling lifestyle. For that reason, I wish that I could go some shrine-like places of those sub-cultural contents in western countries.

PHILOSOPHY

From when I was young, I have pictures in my mind that eastern and western culture are so different each other. Therefore, I have always tried to do my best for keeping the balance between east and west while I watched movie, listened music and read books.
