My grandfather chose the kanji for my name because they were symmetrical, and my mother added the pronunciation. (She could have called me Yukikazu instead.)
I set my sights on going to art school based solely on my desire to make a promotional video for Utada Hikaru, but I was only accepted to the architecture department. After a series of other events, I can now call myself an artist. As with Yano Akiko’s singing, and Ranjatai’s comedy, I just want to create something myself. That’s what I have always said, but recently I realized that I’m more of a finder than a creator. When I find something good, I want to tell people about it. The comedian I’m interested in lately is Gosuke. I listen to the Yapoos on my way home from my part-time job, and I wash the dishes and the bathtub while I listen to the radio.
Who was the very first person to make Jomon pottery?
