Basically, I want to be happy, and I want everyone around me to be happy too.

HIMI-san, you also like fashion, don't you?

HIMI:I think I like fashion, I don't really know.

What was it that got you into fashion, if any?

HIMI:What do you mean by "fashion awakening"? On the contrary (laughs). (Laughs.) I have been wearing clothes since I was born, so when I was born, I woke up to everything. I was awakened to music when I was born, and I was awakened to fashion when I was born.

However, I think I may have been more awakened to it because my parents were more fond of it. However, I think everyone is awakened from birth. It may be that it is gradually suppressed and disappears before you know it as you grow up. I was raised free and open, so maybe that's why I like it even more.

In Japan, there are many cultures that follow the right path, but this was not the case.

HIMI:That's right. Without getting stuck in one way or another. So, thank you. When I have children, I want to raise them openly like that. Thank you very much.

We only talked for a short time, but HIMI is really unpretentious. So, I feel that you would fit right in no matter what kind of site you go to.

HIMI:Basically, I want to be happy, and I want to make those around me happy, so I try to do so.

I think you have the ability to make people feel like they are in their element.

HIMI:The same thing was said to me by Chin-san (Chinza Dopeness): there are no walls. I want to go as far as I can. Everyone is so rigid with their walls. I think I used to be the type with more walls, but maybe I am partly influenced by the various people I meet at work and in my private life.
