I recently took part in an amazing project with five other incredible women in the YouTube
-
Tokyo Space Jidaigeki set. Jidaigeki means “historical play” so as you can imagine,
-
the whole set was shaped to look like it was from another era!
-
You can probably guess from the intro, but we made a music video! It won’t be released
-
until the 15th, but before then we all have our own videos to share first! Most of you
-
probably don’t watch Japanese YouTubers, so I want to introduce you to the awesome
-
Japanese women I worked with today. They’re all amazing so I hope you’ll check out their
-
channels!
-
First up is Sayulee, the incredible song-writer and singer! She made this song! The name is
-
Chuwon Chuwon, and I’ll talk about the meaning behind it a little bit later!
-
This is Sasaki Asahi. Pro YouTuber, beauty guru, model, and dancer, Asahi-san is the
-
intimidatingly gorgeous woman who planned this project with Sayulee and YouTube!
-
This is Yuka Kinoshita. She’s a competitive eater.
-
Oh geez, Yuka will eat them all.
-
I want to but I'm trying to be patient.
-
In her most viewed video she ate 62!!!! hamburgers in a row! What is she doing with it all I
-
don’t understand!
-
This is Kumamiki, fashion school graduate, Harajuku designer, and beauty vlogger!
-
She's the go-to person you want to watch if you like Japanese kawaii culture!
-
This is HappyShoot Jacky. She’s a dancer and the owner of the artistic photography
-
company HappyShoot. She coordinated all of our kimono and hairstyles for the video, and
-
choreographed a dance for us!
-
Together, we all brainstormed and put our thoughts and hearts into the song Chuwon Chuwon.
-
We could flap. Like a bird.
-
As professional women in the public eye we’ve all faced similar difficulties, and this song
-
is about overcoming our hardships and using them to make us stronger. Each of us has our
-
own story in the music video, so pay attention carefully! I actually don’t know what everyone
-
else’s stories are, and I haven’t seen the final video yet, either, so I’m dying
-
to see it just as much as you guys!!
-
Most of the day was spent getting us all into our kimono and makeup. We had not only a regular
-
kimono, but also a heavy kimono coat on top of it.
-
It's really heavy.
-
You might be able to guess but it was really hot! The head pieces were also a bit weighty,
-
but they were so amazingly put together that I didn’t want to take it down at the end of the day!
-
Seriously, the creativity that went into designing the hair styles for everyone
-
was just insane. The whole day I couldn’t stop looking at everyone else!
-
We all took turns filming our individual video parts. The scene director knew exactly what
-
positions we needed to be in for everything so it went by pretty quickly! I still don’t
-
know what the shots he took looked like, so I hope he got a good angle!
-
After our individual pieces were filmed, we had to learn a dance, which everyone else
-
turned out to be AMAZING at. But I have absolutely no coordination.
-
Can you dance? No. Not at all.
-
We're gonna have a hard time.
-
So it took me a while to get it. I hope I look at least somewhat graceful in the final video.
-
There’s one move where we all had to swing our kimono sleeves up over our arms,
-
but my kimono coat didn’t have separate sleeves, so there was nothing for me to swing.
-
So when you watch the dance scene in the video, see if you can spot me awkwardly trying to
-
fake a sleeve swing with my little kimono arm flap.
-
All in all it was one of the funnest days I’ve had in Japan. I feel so honored and
-
blessed that I was able to be a part of it and work together with such amazing women.
-
I’m really grateful to everyone for inviting me and helping me throughout the day, and
-
I really hope I get to work with everyone again!
-
The full video will be released on the 15th, but until then the rest of us are all uploading
-
our own videos, so please look at the video schedule and subscribe to everyone’s channels!
