It's been a while since I've done a photoshoot.

I'm having fun shooting this. I will do my best.

Well...

These are the drafts.

Yes.

Normally when we do magazine shoots, the drafts will be shown here.

And at the back,

my outfits,

my belongings, and me.

Let's get filming!

I like everything.

I think the corners of my lips when I smile are nice.

I hear this a lot about my personality.

Those I meet for the first time,

they probably first learned about me through the media.

But they would say,

"You seem very uptight.

That is your image and the impression you give.

But you're not like that at all."

I feel good when I hear that.

Because I'm just trying to be myself,

it's nice when they like that side of me.

If it is an image I am faking, it would be uncomfortable.

But because they say they like the real me, it makes me happy.

They prepared a lot of snacks.

I'll definitely share this.

Moving on to the next outfit.

I have to go change.

Honestly, I feel that make up,

exercising, and buying clothes are all the same.

It's about taking care of yourself.

In the future,

I think there will be more individuality.

Be it one's fashion or physique, managing your appearance,

there could be a very good culture

where people can showcase their individuality.

When I put on make up,

I get nervous

without realizing it.

We put on make up

to look good for others.

That's why we put on make up, don't we?

So I get a little nervous,

without realizing it.

And when I have no make up on,

it's comfortable. I think that's what people think.

The act of putting on make up,

kind of gives the idea of trying

to impress someone.

Without make up,

I think that much less.

This is a sleeveless outfit.

This along with these pants,

I think they'll look good on you.

When things get really tough,

that's when I gain courage, finally.

For real.

I'd have to be going through a really difficult time.

That's when I'd realize I need to love myself.

Because it actually feels like an illusion.

Loving yourself,

living a happy life,

they are not detailed plans. Setting a time to eat,

a time to exercise,

"I have to take protein three hours later."

They are not detailed methods.

So I think when you live on

and meet difficulties

is when you find the courage to love yourself.

I get swayed by others a lot.

And literally everyday, I think about

what kind of thoughts I had in my life today.

What did I do today, why did I do what I did today?

I think I lived my life with such thoughts.

I am quick to give up.

Seriously, and because of that,

I give up very quickly on things that I cannot do.

That being said,

I don't overthink it.

I give my best at things I actually can do.

I feel that that is my strength.

I think that's how I manage to love myself.

If I keep harping on problems I cannot solve,

it will take a toll on my self confidence.

But I don't do that.

After sorting out what I can and cannot do,

I realize that boldly giving up and instead focusing on things I can do,

is more beneficial to my life.

I have zero obsession on things I can't do.

While I obsess over how I can work hard on things I can do,

I don't obsess over things I can't do. For example,

there's nothing I can do about what other people think.

If you can do that,

your thoughts will become much simpler.

I usually think like that. In the past,

when I had no self confidence,

I felt that if another actor took my role,

they would probably do it better. I kept having thoughts like that.

Now, I will think, "If not for me, this character would not exist."

The character I play,

of course, when other people

sing their song,

or act their character,

they add their own unique color.

And for me,

I convey the character and song through my own unique color.

So whenever my self confidence drops,

I tell myself,

"This is something only I can do."

I will think that if not for me, this character will not exist.

Today, I filmed for VOGUE JAPAN's Beauty Story Shooting.

I wore many accessories that I normally wouldn't wear.

It was quite fascinating.

And it was very fun.

Many photos turned out beautifully,

so please look forward for them.

Let's meet soon. See you.
