For @adidasjapan@adidasrunning@adidas | You Got This
this campaign is very personal and intimate to me. for those who didn’t know, i have two younger sisters who have been supporting me from the sidelines as i pursued this career. the amount of times i have seen their smiles and made me want to do it over again countless times are numerous. i dedicate this film to my sisters and to all the younger siblings around the world. thank you for your silent support and presence. thank you for allowing me to have a once in a lifetime experience. and thank you to this incredible team who made this vision come to life within 30 seconds. truly means so much to always make something beautiful and something meaningful together.

このキャンペーンは、私にとって極めて個人的で、心に深く寄り添う大切なものです。ご存知ない方のために申し上げますと、私には2人の妹がおり、私がこのキャリアを追求する道のりを、ずっと陰ながら支え続けてきてくれました。彼女たちの笑顔を目にするたび、「また一から頑張ろう」と何度も、それこそ数え切れないほど強く思わされました。この映像を、私の妹たち、そして世界中のすべての「年下のきょうだい」たちに捧げます。言葉には出さずとも、いつも静かに支え、そばにいてくれて、本当にありがとう。一生に一度の、かけがえのない経験をさせてくれて、ありがとう。そして、私の抱いたビジョンを、わずか30秒という映像の中に鮮やかに具現化してくれた、素晴らしいチームの皆さんにも心から感謝します。こうして皆さんと共に、美しく、そして意義深い作品を創り上げることができたこと。その喜びは、私にとって何物にも代えがたい宝物です。
ひとりじゃないから。大丈夫、いける。

2012, first scholarship, I’m 17, everything is weird, I barely speak English, slipping out of the dorm to spend time with someone I met on campus, we’re watching the stars, they teach me the word “freckles”.
The letter is to be opened on takeoff
2025 was the year I became a producer and a doula. Pics are in no particular order of importance. If you have any projects to film or babies to birth, I’m around in 2026 too.
2024 was a year of rapid growth and change. I quit tech, met so many amazing people, reached out again and again and again, received enormous, unbelievable support as a new person in film industry in Tokyo, went through personal crises, but kept working hard, joined about 20 projects big and small, and even began producing and directing my own things towards the end of the year, – all that in like 7 months. Wouldn’t be possible without endless, unconditional support from my friends, and guidance and job opportunities from people I just recently met who simply chose to believe in me. 2025 just started, but things are only escalating. This year I’m going to work even harder. Thank you all so much. 🤝🏻
