Good evening.
Good evening. Thank you for having me. This is your third time at the SAKURANO COLLECTION. I think there have been many SAKURANO COLLECTIONs that have been very popular so far. First of all, I think some of you may not have seen it. I would like to introduce this JUBILI COLLECTION to you a little bit.
The theme of this collection is "Blazing In" and "Sea of Love". The lineup is a kit, but first of all, it contains one popular eyeshadow called "Alchemist" and a palette. This palette has four colors, but it is a palette with one eyeshadow and a lip.
And 6 colors of nails. It's very popular. You have released a collection of cherry blossoms in the past. I would like to ask you about the difference between the concept and the previous cherry blossom collection. Yes, please ask me. I will ask you.
I've been living in New York for a long time, but I haven't had the opportunity to see Japanese cherry blossoms.
Yes.
I think it's really inspiring. People are talking about cherry blossoms under the cherry tree, and they talk about cherry blossoms and how beautiful they are.
I think that Sakura is a very important material for Japanese people. It's like a bridge connecting people and people.
I thought that was the essence of the theme. And I thought that the cherry blossoms were full of love. I thought that the cherry blossoms were full of love. I received that kind of image. And that's the theme of this exhibition. And it's connected to the concept of this exhibition.
I feel the power and intensity of the sea of love that is being burned in the sea of love. I finished this collection.
I think there are many people gathering and having conversations. I think cherry blossoms are blooming in New York as well. Do you gather there often?
It's hard to gather people. Like in Japan, we have fireworks. It's a unique thing in Japan. Of course, there are parks where people can enjoy the flowers. There are people who go on picnics there. But the atmosphere is different in Japan.
I've never seen a flower with you, Lee. I don't think so. No, no, no. When I came to New York for the shooting, I remember walking under the cherry blossoms together. I remember walking together. That was probably the first time I saw it.
When I first participated in the shooting of this 3, I remember that I was introduced to Rie-san by walking along the Hudson River. Yes, I was guided. Thank you very much. It's a very good memory. Yes, it's hard to remember now.
I think there's also the cherry blossoms in New York, but I often
In Southeast Asia, there are many shops and shops in the area. I often go to Thailand for promotions. When I was promoting the Jubilee Collection, I couldn't convey the feeling of the cherry blossoms to the people who don't have a sense of style.
I've never experienced it before, so I think that there is a lot of difficulty for people in Southeast Asia. I see. Maybe. It's hard to use without experience. After all, Japanese people are really...
I have the most memories of cherry blossoms. I feel sensitive about them. They are part of my life, part of my history, part of my culture. I saw cherry blossoms in many places. New York is beautiful, Washington is beautiful.
Cherry blossoms are blooming in Paris and other places. It's beautiful, but cherry blossoms in Japan are the most beautiful. I wonder why. Of course, it's calculated and there are some places where they are above. But the climate in Japan, the humidity, and the color of the sky,
The sun's light and all that, that's what makes it unique. And the season, the scenery, when the cherry blossoms are reflected and mixed together, I think it's the humidity, but you can see the cherry blossoms.
It's like a fade in and fade out. It looks like the colors are overlapping. But in New York, the air is quite dry. The light is also sharp, so it looks like a bright cherry blossom. The colors look different.
So I thought that the cherry blossoms in Japan and in New York are completely different. The direction is different. The direction is different, indeed. There's a sense of emotion, and there's a very good mood.
I wanted to add that unique Japanese feel to this collection. I wanted to create a product that would be like that. I wanted to create a product that would be like that.
I wanted to make the color look more natural and I made it like that. The nail polish also changes depending on the angle and it looks a little bit weird.
I think that's what I wanted to do.
I think you can really feel the feeling of the product when you use it.
I think you can enjoy the nuances of the makeup. You can enjoy it with eye shadow or nail. I hope you can experience it and use it.
In that sense, when you are in a flowering situation, there are many scenes. What kind of scenes do you like the most?
My favorite is the one I like the most. The night cherry blossoms. I like the night cherry blossoms. I think the night cherry blossoms are good. When I did the first cherry blossom collection for the 3rd time,
It's called "Sakuraism" It's a collection that changes the color of the sky and the way it looks. It has contrast. I think the colors of sakura and sakura at night have different faces.
I really like cherry blossoms. And the cherry blossoms are in the spring breeze. They are fluttering. When I see that, I think of the movie "Dream" by Akira Kurosawa.
It's a dream. That's what it means in Japan. I like it too. There's a place called Sakuragama in the one scene. It's a wonderful cinematography, so it's very beautiful. It's like experiencing it with your own eyes.
I think that's how dramatic it is when there are cherry blossoms. There are scenes like that. I think you've lived in New York for a long time. I think you've lived in Japan before. What did you feel when you were in Japan?
When you were in Japan, what kind of cherry blossoms were blooming around you? When I was in Japan, I was in my early childhood. I think I can say that in Japanese. I was in my early childhood. I was in the mountain top.
I lived in the city, so the stars were very beautiful. It's called Isecho, a beautiful city with a lot of stars. There are beautiful cherry blossoms, but there are also mountain cherry blossoms. It's a little different from Somen Yoshino.
But even if you see those kinds of cherry blossoms in many countries, do you still remember Japan when you see them? Yes, I do. I do. I think cherry blossoms are Japan. Cherry blossoms = Japan and sakura mochi. What? You guys don't understand? That's Japan too. Yes. You can see cherry blossoms in Japan. Yes. There are many things
Especially in Japan, people are waiting for cherry blossoms. They have a lot of memories. That's right. Every year, cherry blossoms bloom in the same place. But depending on the year, the way they bloom and the color are different. And then, in that year, they go to this person.
I remember the cherry blossoms from 3 years ago. I remember growing up in the same place. I remember living my life in the same place. I can't stop thinking about it.
I think it's a very important thing in life. Sakura is the reason why everyone enjoys it casually. That's why everyone is looking forward to sakura every year. I don't think the place I've been is that different, but I think it's amazing to have a sense of security that doesn't change.
I feel relieved when I see that it's always blooming at this time of year. That's right. But, the cherry blossoms are in bloom, and I remember a lot of things. That wonderful feeling resonates in my heart. And at the same time, various music flows through my head.
What kind of music? There are many kinds of music. Each one is different. It's not like I just remember Japanese songs. I remember things like "Koto no Ne" and things like that. And there are songs like piano.
But I don't think we can get together like this. Rie, if you were to go to a flower market in this world, who would you go with? I was going to ask you. I was going to ask you. Can I answer? Yes, sure. I was really going to ask you. Sorry, I asked.
I would like to choose three people. I have never been with you, so I would like to go first. And Samuel.
I think she's a stylist who really takes care of me. I can see the cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms look great on you. After all,
I think there's also fun to it. Samuel loves Yuta's songs. I love Samuel's songs, and I love Alani's songs. In the last Sakura Collection, there was a song that was wonderful. If I could go there, it would be great.
We are still friends and we are always together. It would be great if we could be together. It would be great. It would be fun and we can make great memories together. It would be memorable.
In that sense, I think that Japanese people really come into the heart of cherry blossoms. I think that Lee has also seen various places of cherry blossoms, and he has seen the scenery and the scene he likes, and he feels like the flowers are waiting.
I think Japanese people will come out as soon as they hear about what they like and what they like. I think there's a scene like that. Like what Rie said earlier, there's a scene like this. By the way, when Rie came to Japan,
Do you have any recommendations for cherry blossoms? I have some. Can you tell me? No. If you can, please tell me.
Of course I will. I don't know the best part of the place. Rather than what I think is the best, I like the part along the river. The river and the cherry blossoms are in a straight line.
I really like it. I think it's really beautiful over there. I think it's been growing for a long time. That's great, too. I've been there many times. I love it. I don't know what to say. I'm the only one.
I like the cherry blossoms in Ueno. I went to a location with Rie once. Yes, yes. But the cherry blossoms didn't bloom at that time. At that time, I don't think it was blooming. It was still cold. It was cold at that time. But when I was shooting a video in Asakusa, I went there a little.
That place is also very famous and a very good place. If you have the time, I would like you to visit. I would love to go. Please take me there. I will definitely visit you when you are in Japan. For those who can't go to Japan, or are busy, please visit the 3rd collection.
I hope you can feel the Japanese cherry blossoms. I agree. I talked to Rie about this and she said that this collection is not just about cherry blossoms, but also about the Japanese cherry blossoms and the sky and light that are centered around cherry blossoms. I felt that this collection is about people who are looking at them.
I hope you enjoy it. I think it would be really nice if you could enjoy the collection of Sakura and 3. I hope you all use it. Rei-san, time is running out. I would like to ask the listeners who are trying to enjoy the collection.
How would you like to enjoy this collection of 3? Do you have any message for me? Yes, I'm doing this theme with cherry blossoms. I think that every year, whatever happens, it blooms beautifully.
Even with COVID-19, even with this pandemic, cherry blossoms will bloom. Of course, it may be ambiguous to say this, but I think that the power of nature
I think the bond between people and the love that is there is something that we shouldn't forget.
I'm not saying I'm grateful, but I'm really honest. "I'm glad I could see you again this year." "Sakura is beautiful." "I love you." "I'm glad I had a friend." I think it's a good thing to spread to such places. I think it's meaningful to have released a collection as a 3rd generation. And, well, Sakura.
Please enjoy it. I think I won't be able to meet Sakura this time, but I don't know yet. Maybe. I don't know yet, but please enjoy it. Thank you very much for today. Thank you very much for this time.
Today, we talked about the theme of the cherry blossoms, and introduced the 32021 Jubilee Collection. As always, I hope you will remember what I introduced today when you see the cherry blossoms that are in full bloom and the cherry blossoms that are falling. I hope you will enjoy the cherry blossoms and this season even if you are at home or out of the house.
I hope you enjoy it. Thank you very much.
