Hello! It’s Haru, a fashion geek!!
Tomorrow is an important day for those turning 20,
Coming of Age Day, which we’ve also reached.
Feeling a bit of nervousness mixed with
excitement for a new beginning,
Looking forward to meeting people you haven't seen in years—
a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.
Many have come to sign to pick out a set-up
or a pair of calmanthology shoes,
wanting to welcome such a significant day
in the very best clothes.
Four years ago, for my own Coming of Age ceremony,
I also chose a KHOKI set-up and
calmanthology TEDS SHOES at sign,
and I remember my classmates being surprised and
full of praise for how different I looked
from my student days.
I originally started taking an interest in clothes
out of a desire to change myself,
and what began as mere curiosity eventually
became my identity and
the force that changed my life.
It would be a lie to say I didn't want
to prove people wrong,
but when I arrived at the ceremony looking my absolute best
and saw the look on my classmates' faces thinking,
"He looks like a different person,"
I was secretly thrilled haha.
By the way, I pride myself on having been
the best-dressed person at my ceremony haha.
While their reasons may differ from mine,
seeing them choose items from sign to mark
their important day makes me happy,
both as a staff member and as
someone who loves fashion just as much.
The reason I’m writing about this in today’s blog is,
honestly, I saw Sota helping some 20-year-olds who always come to sign,
watching them shop after getting their pre-ceremony photos taken,
and I just thought it was really nice.
Once you enter the working world, opportunities to get together with friends
to go shopping or do silly things
become rarer, so in a way,
I’m a little envious of them
fully enjoying "this" moment.
Well, as an introvert, I went to the ceremony dressed to the nines,
but I didn't get invited to the after-party,
so I ended up eating a Big Mac at McDonald's
with my fellow introvert friends,
got asked by my twin sister
why I didn't go to the after-party,
and spent my time going around to select shops alone...
But I'm definitely not bitter about it!!!
Yep... haha
To everyone celebrating their Coming of Age:
Tomorrow, "you" are the star of the show,
so go out and enjoy it to the fullest!
