I'm from Japan.
In Japan, prior to my ongoing interviewing career, I had been interested in various layers of media, such as radio DJ’ing, MC work, modeling and acting. In 1999, I debuted as a TV personality and started appearing on television programs. By the end of 2000, I had an audition for a radio DJ position and was awarded the grand prix prize, having been chosen out of a field of hundreds of candidates. In addition, I performed in a Japanese movie and numerous television commercials. I also worked as a model in various car shows and car magazines, such as the “Tokyo Auto Salon” and the “Tokyo motor show”. I also worked as an MC of the “Ena rock festival” and a particular rock festival that a music magazine sponsors.
