A piece of destiny that drew me to Olivia.
Although Sarasa has a strong image as an artist, her activities are diverse, including being a buyer for apparel brands, a hula dancer, and sometimes drawing pictures. In the past, she has been so passionate about fashion that she even sold vintage clothing she purchased from overseas as a hobby. What Ms. Sarasa values in selecting T-shirts is the story behind them.
I usually buy a variety of T-shirts, from plain to patterned, but the ones I treasure the most are the ones my friends gave me as gifts at live shows, or souvenir T-shirts from exhibitions I like, or the ones that have some kind of story behind them.
This photo was chosen after consulting with a stylist friend and imagining the image of today's shoot. Sarasa says, "My favorite style changes from time to time," and it seems that she has been showing more skin recently.
The T-shirt that Sarasa is wearing is an Olivia Newton-John T-shirt. She found it by chance at a vintage clothing store, but the encounter was fateful.
I sang "Listening to Olivia" on Yu Sakai's cover album "CITY POP LOVERS," which came out last year. Yuu was a musician I had admired since I was in high school, and the timing of the song's production coincided with Olivia's death, so it was a very emotional moment for me. Soon after that, I went into a thrift store and saw this T-shirt in front of me. And while other T-shirts were on the rack, this one was just sitting on the rack. I thought, 'This is fate! I thought, 'This is fate!
She also sells remade vintage clothes at her own product sales. T-shirts are a familiar part of Sarasa's life, and the number of T-shirts she owns is too numerous to count. However, she has no more than 10 staples that she wears in the summer. She seems to be the type of person who loves her favorites to the hilt. Of course, the Olivia Newton-John T-shirt will be an indispensable piece for Sarasa.
