I understand that you are now a YouTuber while working at a restaurant and a vintage clothing store. How did you get started?
Two of my friends and I have a YouTube channel called "2nds-Seconds" and I started saying. I always wanted to be something! I always wanted to be something, and I thought YouTube would be a good way to do it.
Even if it's just a video of you talking and eating, it has a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Is there anything you keep in mind when planning a project?
To be honest, we are not looking for buzz with our projects. We don't want to do something out of the ordinary, but we try to come up with projects that show the humanity of the three of us. Eventually, as the number of registered users increases and we gain more fans, we will be able to do whatever we want, and I think we will start from there!
I thought she was the type who could get along with anyone, but she answered modestly, "At drinking parties, if there are a lot of people talking, I listen, and if there is someone I want to tease, I tease them. I observe the people around me and try to find my place in the group," he answered modestly.
In addition to YouTube, you also share your fashion and daily life on Instagram. You have a large number of followers, 23,000.
About a year ago, I had 2,000 followers, but I started working part-time at "Topology" last September, and since the location is in Urahara, I decided to get my clothes right. I started posting coordinated outfits, and the number of my postings grew, so I started posting them. However, I don't have much confidence in my coordination because I don't know much about it and I choose my outfits by feel (laughs).
Do you have anyone you use as a reference for coordination?
If you enter the keyword "90s" on Pinterest, you will see photos of Tomoya Nagase and Takuya Kimura in their prime, and I refer to the atmosphere of that era. I even showed them pictures of Nagase when they cut my hair at the hairdresser (laughs). I also refer to the color matching and outfits of men I see on the street.

Right: Danawo-san wearing a "Boston Red Sox" T-shirt. He showed us a glimpse of his feet, saying, "I'm wearing red socks, as you would expect.
I feel that it is very typical in this day and age that you do not limit yourself to one profession, but are involved in a variety of activities.
When I left the company I was working for two years ago, I had a month's pay. I happened to be browsing through Instagram and saw an artist making rugs, and I thought it would be hot if I could make a living from this kind of work. But I didn't think I could make rugs out of the blue, so I bought some yarn. At first I was doing it for myself, but a friend told me I should sell it, so I started my own brand. I enjoy knitting because it allows me to be mindless.
Will this one eventually become famous, too?
At first I thought I would be able to live on that, but in any case, I would become a recluse, and that would be boring, wouldn't it? At my age, I felt it was a waste of time and energy to be in Tokyo (laughs). It would be nice to have some income.
I get the impression that you are a powerful person, including in your activities.
Your mother will never be able to compete with you! I have great respect for her. I used to think she was strict and depressing, but now I realize how loving she is. My mother always slept on the carpet in the living room instead of having a bedroom, and I thought she was someone who liked to sleep there. (Laughs.) I didn't want to get up to make lunches for my three children, so I slept in the living room. I wanted to be that kind of person.
Lastly, what kind of man are you attracted to? In the YouTube interview, you mentioned that you like actor Kento Kaku....
Yes, I like a manly and funny person! Rather than making me laugh by force, I like someone who is quick-witted. I like a man who is quick-witted rather than a forceful funny man. I like a man who can be funny in a way that I can't match. I respect people who work as MCs for TV shows.
