🔮 Understanding how to move like a mirror in Japan… that’s not technique.
That’s translation.
Every room has a rhythm.
Every audience; a poem.
You don’t perform at them here…
you become the space they didn’t know they were holding.
I gave a decade to this.
Language. Silence. Observation.
Learning not just how they move…
but why they don’t.
Tradition isn’t something I imitate.
It’s something my blood learned to bow to…
then bend.
🎋
Right now, the sky is speaking in fire.
Mars in Aries.
Instinct over intellect.
Choice before explanation.
That raw, animal knowing.
The thing beneath the personality.
The code etched deeper than thought.
本能 — INSTINCT.
That’s what this record is.
My new release with @ipon.ryu
And it landed exactly when it was meant to.
🦅
This is from BOTTO.
An underground Tokyo night.
No phones. No noise. Just presence.
I was tucked in the corner with an Insta360,
@stateofrachel catching something that wasn’t meant to be captured.
The theme of my STROBE set:
BREATHE.
And you could feel it…
a room full of warriors remembering themselves.
🗡️
The kanji on my skin?
本能. Interpretation by @cherry.jerrera
Not decoration.
Direction.
A reminder that your body already knows.
Most people just stopped listening.
Especially in the west.
Music is how I reach that place.
Poetry is how I name it.
RHYME is part of that reason.
⭐️
Touch the record.
Don’t just hear it.
And wear more purple.
(And relax… not real tattoos. I still respect the onsen life.)

💜💜 Meet Sally Hogshead. I just wrapped up an epic adventure across Japan with her, all in celebration of her new book “How to Fascinate” (or, as the locals say, 「魅了」するブランド戦略).
Imagine this: Sally and RHYME—part poetry, part Tokyo nightlife, part business magic—making memories that are anything but ordinary. Apparently, my Passion, Power, and Mystique are the secret ingredients fueling this wild ride.
From the moment we met, I was hooked on Sally’s vibe: she’s all about spotlighting what makes you YOU, not just fitting you into a box. This is a bold new chapter for her in Japan, and I’m thrilled to bring my poetic and locally brewed energy and expertise in this market to help guide the next wave of her purple-like output.
The best part? Two ladies on the loose in Tokyo, blending a little mischief with a lot of creative energy. Who knew book launches could be this much fun? Purse-sonable level 100. ありがとうございます if you were included along this route, check tags 😘
サリー・ホッグスヘッドとの出会い。
彼女とともに、日本を巡る壮大な冒険を終えたばかりです。
すべては、彼女の新刊『How to Fascinate』（邦題：「『魅了』するブランド戦略」）の出版を祝う旅でした。
想像してみてください：サリーと私、そして「詩（Poetry）」「東京のナイトライフ」「ビジネスマジック」が絶妙に混ざり合って、生まれていくのは、普通じゃない思い出ばかり。
どうやら、私の「情熱」「パワー」「神秘性」が、このワイルドな旅を支える秘密のスパイスだったようです。
初めて会った瞬間から、私はサリーの放つオーラに惹き込まれました。
彼女は“あなたらしさ”を引き出すことに全力で、誰かを型にはめることなんて絶対にしない。
今回の旅は、彼女にとって日本での新たなチャプターの始まり。
そして私は、この地で培ってきた詩的でローカルなエネルギーと経験を活かして、彼女の“パープル”なアウトプットの次なる波をともに描いていけることに、ワクワクしています。
で、何が一番楽しかったかって？
東京を自由に駆け回る、ちょっとイタズラ好きなクリエイティブ女子ふたり。
本のローンチがここまで楽しいなんて、誰が想像したでしょう？
パーソナリティ全開、レベル100。
この旅のどこかで関わってくれたあなたへ——心から、ありがとうございます。
