So I use a lot of Instagram as well
In any case, you have to go outside and be seen by everyone
Having a good attitude
Hey guys, this is Cathy Cat and today we've come to a-collection which is like an event about fashion, music and style
And today we're gonna ask the models and the people that are on stage singing
What kind of things they think
You have to do as a model or you should do as a model
And things you should not do as a model
So let's find out
Should do AS A MODEL in Japan
My name is Haruka Kurebayashi
Could you tell us one thing you should do when you become a model in Japan
And one thing you should not do
When you become a model in Japan, it's fun to start using Social Networking Sites
Are SNS important in Japan?
In Japan Twitter is the most important one
But in my case, I have a lot of fans of "Kawaii" abroad
So I use a lot Instagram as well
Please introduce yourself
Okay ! My name is Hijiri Kato and I'm 24 years old
Once you become a model, I think the good thing to do
is to always walk around the city
It is important not to forget the feeling of being seen every day by people
Not staying confined at home
Yes right
Not staying indoors and go out
And by walking around the city
Photographers may call you out and take new pictures of you
In any case, you have to go outside and being seen by everyone
My name is Jura, nice to meet you!
The accessories
Even the smallest accessories, you have to have your style
Like your nails for example
Frequently be attentive to details and level up your girl power
It will pay off
Yes to girl power!!
My name is Saki Kurumi
And what do you do?
I'm working at a lolita fashion shop
Okay
Your looks?
Since you're being constantly watched
You have to be careful not to have stooped shoulders
And always think about the eyes that are on you
If someone takes a picture of you and post it on SNS
And you'll be like "oh no "
So I have to stand straight up
To protect your image ?
Yes exactly
- So you said you were working in a lolita fashion shop - Yes
So are you careful about sun burns? or tan?
Yes very!
Hiding from UV by using a sunshade
I'm fighting against it
Let's fight!
Sun tan is not good
I'm very careful
My name is Senanan, nice to meet you
My name is Mai Aisaki, nice to meet you
I'm Hina Kanai, nice to meet you
Things you should do?
Taking loads of selfies
Take phony selfies
I think the best is to stand out in any way. For better or worse
The best is to constantly be stylish and be conscious
And spend some money on it
Wear many different clothes and often go to Harajuku
My name is Roi, nice to meet you
I'm Oharu the Colorful Neet, nice to meet you
So what do you do?
I am a part time worker
I'm working in a maid cafe
So you're a maid!
Yes
Moe moe kyun ! (sound that maids make)
I'm so happy!
I'll go and see you
Yes, please do
And what do you do?
Well
I'm a Colorful Neet and a model
Do you have a favorite color?
I like pink or purple
But there are so many
The good thing to do would be to build up your body
For example by stretching
Recently I came to think that yoga was quite important
I'm pretty stiff but being flexible gives better movements
Also, training your inner muscle at the gym
Then you'll be able to walk beautifully which I think is very important
I'm momotaro
I'm Yu
Your fashion
Finding what you like,
is great since everyone's different
If there is a style you like and do some research about it
So gather a lot of information
And be fashionable?
Yes I think so
Try wearing different types of clothes
It doesn't matter if it suits you or not, try everything
That way you can really find your own style
That would be the best.
So not stopping at only one style...?
Yes because otherwise you'd only be an expert in that style
While it's better to be a model who can adapt to every style
You'll also be able to broaden your horizons as a model
That's why you should do it
My name is Kotono Yashiro
I'm an ad model
I'm also doing some radio
What is often said is stand up straight
okay
I think you really shouldn't skip a meal
You should eat properly since your working hours will be long
So by eating well, you won't lose your energy
And to get ready for stage
I think you should eat properly!
So are you careful about what you're eating?
Rather than being careful on what I eat,
I try to consume a lot of protein
For example, having a lot of meat and fish
And if you take the necessary amount, you will be snacking less
It's good for your health to snack less
And you'll need less sweets as well
It's killing two birds with one stone
Should not do AS A MODEL in Japan
Things you shouldn’t do when you become a model
Could you tell us one?
In a public place, you shouldn't be too loud, breach manners
Or cross when it's red
You shouldn't break the rules
Let's follow the rules then!
As a model, you might have to do some small shootings
Amateur photographers may ask to take pictures of you
You shouldn't refuse those jobs if possible
Try to participate if your schedule fits
So you can get used to the camera
That's important
So not refusing a job even if it's small...?
Whether small or big, you should participate positively
It's important for your experience
So on the contrary, what are the things we shouldn't do? Or things you should stop doing or being careful at?
I am actually careful with food
So like no carbs for supper ?
Well, I do sometimes
The thing you should not do is to binge
I do it sometimes
I do it sometimes but it's better not to drink too much and make mistakes
The other thing you should not do is,
Because everyone is looking at SNS,
Not to say weird things
Way of living
Way of living? What for example?
Crimes?
That's obvious!
Be sure not do do any crimes
That, you should not do in general!
You should always behave properly in your daily life
- I think it's best that way - If you want to become a model
Train manners
Or, you have to be aware because anybody can be watching you anywhere,
It's not going to work
I'm one of those people who cannot tolerate tossing trash away
I think those are the most important things to be careful at
I think the bad thing to do would be to decide by ourselves what fits and what doesn't
Surprisingly when you try a clothes on
Even if you think it doesn't suit you, it might actually look good on you
For example, people tell me Lolita style doesn't suit me
But I'm still wearing it!
I'm wearing it no matter what
But I think the best is still to try
I don't think it's good if you decide from the beginning that you won't wear it
So surprisingly the Lolita style looks good on you ?
More people are telling me that it looks good on me
They're saying like "it's not bad!””I’ve gotten used to it”
More and more people see me as a lolita now
So having more confidence and trying new styles?
Yes it's because I've challenged myself
Since then, I have a lot more Lolita jobs
So it's definitely a good thing to try
You shouldn' binge
Also try not to hold a lot of stress
If you eat hold a lot of stress, it’ll appear on your skin or on your body
So if you do something you love
You'll be able to shape your body up naturally
You should really not binge
For example I eat a lot of sweets
And I love cola as well
But I'm always careful
The teacher that is giving me lessons on posing and walking also loves cola
And the trick I was taught was,
If you really want to drink cola
You put half of sparkling water and mix it
It weakens it and you'll have less calorie
So it's a little better
Since learning this trick, I'm drinking it that way
You do this kind of things as well?
Yes I do it too
Like when you eat, you always start with vegetables
Or always take Calorie Limit
Before eating or drinking
I'm careful about it
This is all for today, thank you!
So summering it all up what should a model or not do
For example you should definitely start an Instagram account and get your pictures out there
Take a load of selfies
Also while you're outside you should
Have a proper posture and
Be aware that you are being seen by other people
So don't break rules or like slack off or sit on the floor
You're not allowed to do that in Japan either
Quite a lot of rules
Let me what else we have
Also you should be fashionable and try things
Even if you think they don't suit you
Just try them on
It might actually suit you
Better than any thought
And do some sports to keep your body healthy and good looking
And also things you are not allowed to do apart from breaking the rules
Is also binge
That might be alcohol or that might be food, just be careful with that
Don't talk badly about other people
And don't reject small jobs
I totally remembered all of that
With the help of this paper
Anyways, I hope you found that interesting
We're gonna ask more models
In Japan about their things
And their secrets
So you should check out the other videos on Ask Japanese
Thank you very much for watching, bye!
