1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
If it were about me, it would simply be YUKO. My name is part of my identity, my life story- unique, meaningful and memorable. It reflects who I am and everything I stand for.
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
I don’t really follow celebrities, so I’d choose something more personal. I love intimate weddings surrounded by close friends and family- especially in a place abroad I have never been and might never go otherwise. That kind of experience would be unforgettably special. Those moments, to me, are what make people feel like celebrities.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
I received green-colored goggles for onion-cutting from my daughter. Since I love cooking but still cry when chopping onions, she thought it was the perfect solution. They look funny in the kitchen. Looks like swimming goggles, but they actually work!
Unique and thoughtful gift that always makes my family laugh whenever I wear them.
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
- Humans are the only animals that cry emotional tears. While other animals have tears for eye protection, only humans shed tears from emotions like sadness or happiness. Even when cutting onions, our tears may be technically physical, but I think half of mine are emotional.
It is an interesting reminder of how unique humans are.
5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
I will never hesitate to offer help. In the past, when I held back, I regretted not stepping in. But I’ve learned that even small gestures can make a big difference, and when I had the courage to help, I never regretted it.
Courage matters everywhere -on the soccer field, with children, or while interpreting. It can truly make a difference.
