I want to be what I needed when I was a child
Takano: What is it that you want to express through music and fashion, Aisho?
Aisho: There are many things I want to convey through music, but first of all, I want to tell people that everything is okay. In Japan, the LGBT community is still very small, and it is a fact that there are still many people who cannot come out, so I want those people to hear my music and feel that it is okay. I also want to be the person I needed to be when I was little. I didn’t have a queer role model when I was little, so there was a lot of hoarding and worrying.
Celeina：Sending the current you to your younger self, isn’t it?
Aisho: Yes! I want to express visually what I can’t express in words, like fashion and makeup.
Celeina: In addition to the sound and the words of the lyrics, you want to communicate through visuals.
Aisho: And with that, please interpret it in your own way, as each person perceives it.
Takano: I would love for people to see the visuals in the music video.
Celeina: I hope you will experience Aisho’s worldview with all your senses. Now, “FIST BUMP” is about a circle of friends connected by goo touch. What kind of person would you like to introduce to us from Aisho?
Aisho: This is my best friend, a designer named Ulala.
Celeina: I wish I could have met her!
Aisho: She has a brand called “SEE YOU YESTERDAY” and she do clothes and bags. She also does a jewelry brand called “Mr. Saturday”. Truly best friends. We meet again today!
Takano: How would you describe Ulala in one word?
Aisho: Strongest.
Celeina: I feel like a gal.
Takano: Tomorrow, we’ll be connecting with the designer, Ulala, who is the “Strongest”. Today we welcome Aisho Nakajima. Thank you very much.
