YUUKI (from CHAI)

Please tell us what you think of the items when you actually wear them.

I thought the shoes were light even when I held them in my hands, but when I left the house today and climbed the stairs, I realized how much lighter they were. My legs lifted up! I thought. The knit is simple and easy to use. I like tops that have a fuller neck, so I'm happy with how exquisite it is. Also, it's usually warm, comfortable, and soft!

What are the key points of coordination?

. I usually like white styles, so I chose lighter colors for my knitwear and shoes. While using white as the base color, I also added a black bag and socks to balance it out, and I added a lot of accessories anyway! I also made it a point to show a bit of wispy innerwear around my neck and at the hems of my arms.

What is important to you when choosing clothes?

I wonder if he wears all kinds of colors. Pink, blue , even all black. I like unique clothes, and I buy both vintage and new clothes that I think are a little weird. . It's even better when the things I think are cute are eco-friendly, like Allbirds.

Do you usually do something environmentally friendly?

I don't know if I'm doing much, but I may choose environmentally friendly detergents for washing clothes and dishes. I also use beeswax wrap, which can be used repeatedly. But to be honest, I always think that eco-friendly products are a bit expensive... I wish they were more affordable.

Did your activities as a musician change before and after Corona?

Before Corona, I was the active type. I would go abroad, come back, and go again . I had a lot of output activities, but that stopped after Corona. But on the other hand, I think this year was a period when I was able to make inputs. I was able to prepare to create, and personally, I was able to draw pictures and do other activities besides CHAI, for which I am grateful! I could do this and that, and I made some good discoveries.

Yuki, in the music industry, are there any sustainable activities that are popular?

I wonder how it connects to music.... I haven't heard much, but I'm probably not that picky about stuff myself. To be honest, I haven't bought that many CDs, I listen to them on Spotify or something like that. If you can do merchandise and stuff like that, it would be nice to be able to do it easily. Come to think of it, records are plastic...it would be nice if we could make an eco-friendly record! I'm looking for people who can make eco-friendly records , lol.
