Hello!

It's a win!


Following on from last week's Shotaro

What got me hooked on black hair?

I'll be writing a blog!


The biggest turning point was when I started skating at the age of 19.

I got hooked on it.

I spend all my free time skating.

Yes, they were there.


Among them, Supreme had the biggest influence on me.

Brand background, riders, videos, apparel

Everything about it was so cool, I really admired it.


If we focus on hairstyles, the first person I thought looked cool was Kevin Bradly.

His afro style was neat and well-groomed.

It's a silhouette, but it also gives off a casual feel.

I wanted to emulate his style.



This was my hairstyle at the time.

The hairdresser I asked at the time told me it would be difficult to recreate it exactly, so I tried my best to do so.

I was allowed to get closer.


I remember being really excited when I saw the silhouette for the first time.


When your hairstyle changes, your fashion changes too.

From there, I became increasingly drawn to the allure of black hair.

I was completely captivated.


At that time, I was still a university student and I had decided to become a hairdresser.

I never thought that if I became a hairdresser...

I decided on it because I liked black hair.

If I were to become a hairdresser, I wanted to be able to create cool black hairstyles, and at that time...

I've made up my mind!


Since joining EIGHT, I've been talking to Shotaro-san.

Thanks to the technical training I received, I can now do things myself.

I'm incredibly happy that some customers choose to come to my shop.

Thank you as always.


From now on, I also want to give people positive inspiration.

I want to become a hairdresser who can create something through hair.
