Year ends are always harder to go through as I tally whether I've done enough shows or if I made enough things during the year. December then tends to become a time to catch up on any last minute projects to round off the year on a "productive" note - it's a feel good moment. But scrolling through my album this year, I saw a lot more faces of friends than process shots. Whether it was helping out with some crazy idea, spending time outside of the studio, camping trips, or reuniting with old friends in new countries, I'm beyond grateful for each and everyone that has stuck by my side the past couple of years. A younger Boris would have never imagined the thing he longed for most would actually come true. I'm not much of a ritual person but gathering these pictures for the round up led me to think of one word I want to start the new year with: eager Let's be eager and be honest with those who are by your side. Let's be eager and accept all parts that make us a whole Let's be eager and run towards the things that move us. Here's to whatever is gonna come your way in 2026, Mr. Shojo

“I think your name is magical.”
