●Scene from the January 2013 event ASOBINITE @ Shinkiba ageHa

――What specific pup-culture are you interested in?

Yun*chi：I love anime and each season I watch them all. I record all the late-night anime too. I love manga too. I also collect figurines. I like Mine Fujiko-san of Lupin III and I have many. I play video games too. I am currently playing Animal Crossing on Nintendo 3DS. This game has the sure-chigai function, an interactive function sending your info to people you pass by. As I travel all over the country, people can notice I am nearby through this function and some of them tweet me. It is great fun.

――What late night anime are you watching now?

Yun*chi：Suki-tte Ii na yo – it is an interesting story about a pure sweet girl. I’m pretty sure that it is an anime of a girl’s manga and I think it is great. It made my heart flutter for the first time in ages – it is just too sweet. I never miss it.

――What’s your motto?

Yun*chi:Yun*chi: “Never forget to be thankful”. Saying arigato can be a bit embarrassing at times, so I try and say it as much as I can when the moment comes.

――What do you want to convey to your fans in your future activities?

Yun*chi：I want to try and tell everyone that singing is great fun. Recently dance music and club music is becoming popular, to the detriment of songs. The joy of singing has taken a back seat in recent music. Of course the club beat is fun when it gets you going, and I like it too. So I want to include those kind of factors in my own songs, so I try to write songs that convey the joy of singing, so at concerts everyone can sing with me.
