  • so today is the day I explain what the hell I'm doing in Bangkok why the hell

  • do I have black hair and why I'm staying here for so long it's been three months

  • since I came here and I definitely owe you guys a explanation so without

  • further ado this is my story to why I'm here so this is what happened

  • I was you know living a normal life in Tokyo and then my Thai agency found me

  • through my mother agency in Tokyo and they were looking for Japanese models to

  • bring to Thailand for modeling and I did a Skype meeting type of audition thing

  • with my Thai agency going into the Skype meeting I didn't really think of

  • anything I was like cool like I've always wanted to go to Thailand like why

  • not at the time I still had pink hair and you know I went into the casting

  • thinking oh I'm never gonna get this because I have pink hair you know and

  • I'm not like that tall and I had no idea what like the beauty standards were in

  • Thailand what kind of jobs they were we're kind

  • of you know what the model industry was like in Thailand at all so I really

  • didn't know what to expect but like I was like well they're not gonna take a

  • pink haired girl for sure you know what I mean and then I went

  • into the Skype meeting they asked me if I can dye my hair either brown or black

  • and I didn't really think too much I was just like yeah sure of course I'll dye

  • my hair dark but in my head I was like oh I hope I don't actually have to die

  • interesting story during that time I was actually going through a breakup with my

  • ex-boyfriend it was kind of like a stressful time because I had to find a

  • new apartment because we had been living together and you know I wasn't able to

  • move out as soon as I wanted to because I had already planned this like two-week

  • trip to the US and you know it's a lot of work finding the new apartment in

  • Tokyo so it was taking a wild takes you know cost a lot of money to move out and

  • you know get rid of things and sell things and just everything so I was

  • really really stressed at that time and during my trip in the u.s. I was just

  • like worried about what am I gonna do when I go back to Tokyo I have to find a

  • new apartment like maybe I'll move in with lauda my best friend for a little

  • bit or whatever you know and during that trip my manager messages me and he's

  • like hey so you're confirmed for Thailand now they want you to come and

  • I'm like what I so so I'm actually going there for three months he's like yeah

  • and I'm like awesome who who gets to go to fly to Thailand to model for three

  • months that's like a vacation you know what I mean solved all my problems

  • instantly like I didn't have to find a new apartment in Tokyo I just all I had

  • to do was find a storage unit pack all my things and fly here so that's what I

  • did my life here is amazing I've met so many

  • amazing people here I've made so many new friends and I think moving to

  • Thailand was like the best decision ever um number one I don't like being cold

  • and I really really hate winter because it's really cold and I it's just summer

  • everyday here I love it all so I I'm doing really well with work I'm getting

  • a lot of jobs and I really like that as well it's interesting because here they

  • really really appreciate like the whole Asian Beauty type of model look like the

  • whole curry and like k-beauty Japanese looking girls like we get a lot of jobs

  • and I am really grateful for that because in Japan they don't appreciate

  • Asian beauty as much I'm sure a lot of you already know this but a majority of

  • the jobs will go to Caucasian models or half Caucasian models or like white

  • passing models you know what I mean so me like when I had a black hair in Japan

  • I didn't get jobs at all and the second I dyed it blonde like I got so many jobs

  • it's so interesting how like the more Western you look the more jobs you'd get

  • in Japan so I'm a little bit nervous about what will happen when I go back to

  • Japan with my black hair my original plan was to dye it back blonde but it's

  • just way too damaged at this point and I just don't think I can dye it back and I

  • actually really like my dark hair I'm really enjoying it like I didn't think I

  • would like it at first but I'm really enjoying having dark hair it feels nice

  • to look the way I'm supposed to look naturally so I really like it I was

  • actually supposed to after three months which was the end of

  • January but I kind of decided to extend my stay so I'm here for another three

  • months my mom's like scared that I'm never moving back to Japan and I'm like

  • the plan is the plan is to move back after three months okay that's the plan

  • like I met so many people here who were like I'd be like what brought you to

  • Thailand and they'd be like oh I was only gonna stay for a month and I'm like

  • so how long have you been here and they're like 12 years I was like three

  • years I'm like damn I can kind of see myself being in their position because I

  • really like my life here but at the same time I really really miss a lot of

  • things about Japan and I really miss my friends and I really miss my family so I

  • really don't know what's gonna happen of course I have to go back to Tokyo I know

  • I do I have to but I kind of want to but don't want to at the same time also it's

  • a good time I move back because from like around May June the rainy season
