Thanks for all your support! Please continue to get behind me!
The name of the new era has been announced! It feels like there is a fresh vibe in the air! March was full of all kinds of interesting challenges! For example, I organized a lolita-themed strawberry picking tour! Kinki Nippon Tourist helped out. I had so many ideas for the trip! This was my first time planning a bus tour. I made sure to find a place that was a good match for the lolita fashion look! You find a lot of lolita-style clothing that features strawberry motifs. It was kind of a dream of mine to go strawberry picking, while wearing an outfit that has strawberries in the design. And I finally got to realize that dream!

If you go strawberry picking these days you will usually find plastic sheets stretched out in the premises, so you can enjoy the experience without having to worry about getting your clothes or shoes dirty. Everyone who participated was wearing lolita clothing that had some sort of strawberry-inspired pattern, it was a so kawaii and fantastic! After strawberry picking we went to Sylvanian Park in "Comorebi morino ibaraido" and took a photo in front of the red roof house. It was such a wonderful day! I think its super important that we go to places dressed in lolita outfits and make friends in order to promote this kind of fashion. I want to start planning all kinds of events on top of the tea ceremonies that I help organize. I also wanted to let you know that A Chinese television station did a featured about our strawberry picking tour! Click >> HERE (鳳凰網視頻 (Phoenix New Media Limited) Weibo) for more information!

During March, I attended events in Japan and Shanghai! A Japanese Lolita brand called "Juliette et Justine" hosted their first solo tea ceremony in Shanghai. And I had the chance to make a guest appearance! During March, I just attend events in Japan and China! A Japanese Lolita brand called "Juliette et Justine" hosted their first solo tea ceremony in Shanghai. I made a guest appearance on the day! It was a day full of elegant, classical lolita fashion! The brand sells garments that feature all kinds of unusual patterns in China and Japan, but it's proven very popular in both places! As someone who promotes lolita fashion on the frontline, I would like to help energize Chinese and Japanese lolita brands! For the "Juliette et Justine" tea ceremony I had my hair white and wore a gorgeous dress to participate in a fashion show and photo shoot!

Long white wigs are quite rare. The doll look has won over a lot of new fans. It seems to be pretty popular! All the participants looked super gorgeous and fashionable. The event really gave me a sense of how big lolita fashion is right now! I stayed in Shanghai after the "Juliette et Justine" tea party was over to do a bit of sightseeing and sample some Chinese food! It goes without saying... But if you want to try the best peking duck and hot pot out there, you've got to visit China! It is just so delicious! I also stopped by a local shopping mall and went to Disneyland Shanghai to check-out the attractions. I also saw people wearing lolita-style outfits on the streets! Even in Harajuku I do not always see lolita fashion enthusiasts out and about! I was so happy to see someone dressed in lolita clothing in their daily life while I was in China!

I was back and forth to Shanghai towards the end of the month. While I was there I took a lot of promotional shots for a Chinese brand that sells cat ear headphones. Lolita fashion is not only collaborating with headphone manufacturers, now you can find all kinds of companies incorporating lolita-inspired designs into their creations. It seems that lots of people think that it is a cute look! I think this kind of thing will lead to people becoming even more familiar with lolita fashion. And then we will see even more cool collaborations start to take place. The name of the new era is "Reiwa." It might be a new age, but I am still determined to participate in lots of activities that promote the world of lolita. I want to continue to support cultural diplomatic relations through lolita fashion!

I love the phrase "perseverance makes us strong!" This year marks 20 years since I first got into lolita fashion! I want to try to do all kinds of things to celebrate! Thank you for all your support! Please continue to get behind me!
