Her husband’s cooking account, which she produced, has become popular
Celeina: I have asked you about your music and “Fuji Rock” so far, but you are also producing your husband’s cooking account, aren’t you?
Yajima: That’s right. I have a TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube account under the name of “Monkichi: Men’s Food for the Family.
Takano: That’s a very interesting account name.
Celeina: What inspired you to start this account?
Yajima: I guess I’m the kind of person who can’t leave budding talents alone, and not just in music.
Celeina: So your husband has a talent for cooking.
Yajima: My husband dreamed of making people smile with his cooking ever since he was a child, and he was a chef as well, but he gave up that career once and was working in a different industry. I started uploading my husband’s cooking to TikTok, and from the first upload, it got quite a lot of buzz.
Celeina: That’s what a producer is for.
Takano: What kind of videos are they?
Yajima: It’s a video where I say, “I want to eat Neapolitan like at a coffee shop,” or “Make me something with pork,” and my husband quickly completes a simple dish that everyone can make at home.
Takano: It’s very funny in a theatrical way, and it’s not only funny, but it’s great that everyone can do it at home.

Yajima: Recently, when I go for interviews or coverage, artists often say to me, “I’m looking at your cooking account, Yajima-san” (laughs) Haruy-san also said that to me. It’s a little embarrassing, but it makes me happy.
Takano: I will follow you.
Yajima: Thank you (laughs).
Celeina: And in March, you released a book titled “Cheap Foods, Yet Delicious Enough to Bring Tears to Your Eyes.
Yajima: This book contains 84 recipes that can be used on a daily basis, that can be prepared in a flash even by people who have never cooked before, while keeping food costs low.
Celeina: I like the title of this book. It’s called “Tearfully Delicious Gohan. That’s something that happens, doesn’t it?
Yajima: Rice is nourishment for the soul.
Celeina: Isn’t rice, like music, a universal language?
Yajima: That’s true!
Takano: It’s also good for the wallet. It’s great.
Celeina: I hope you listeners will read “Cheap ingredients, but the food is so delicious it will bring tears to your eyes. FIST BUMP” is a circle of friends connected by gootouchi, and we are asking you to introduce us to your friends.
Yajima: I would like to connect you to a brother and sister musician duo called Peropero Kyandee.
Celeina: Do they do TikTok or something like that?
Yajima: Yes, they are. That’s exactly right!
Celeina: I’ve seen them.
Yajima: The contents of “low tone girls” and “genius brother” are very popular.
Celeina: Yes. I’m looking forward to it! What is your relationship with them?
Yajima: I actually produced the publicity and social networking. I also created the catchphrase, “Delivering a gal mindset to you in a corner of the earth.
Takano: You are also a copywriter?
Celeina: In a word, how would you describe them?
Yajima: Funky siblings!
Takano: Funky siblings! Tomorrow, we will welcome Peropero Kyandee.
Celeina: “FIST BUMP”, today we have editor and music writer Yukako Yajima. Thank you very much.
Yajima: Thank you very much.
