My biggest moment at the agency was when I got my hair cut!! It was a very emotional moment for me, and this has changed my life completely, and my career officially started from there!! Yeah!!!

I am so glad that I was able to do this season with the new models. I thought good-looking models were all arrogant and mean... but I was really wrong about this! That was totally my misunderstanding!!! They were really nice to me and cared for me when I was a bewildered Japanese stranger in this new environment and intimidated by everyone. Even when I was too shy to talk to them, they brought up topics about Japan and made conversation with me. They were really really sweet, and I truly appreciate their sincere warmth.

And, of course, JANICE! The first day, when I moved into the house it was hard for me to fit in with the other models, but she told the other models, "BE NICE TO THE JAPANESE GIRL." I can never forget that. She noticed that I had a hard time getting used to the models, but she always cared about me, broke my shell, and molded me into a better model.

I love Janice and her models, and I cannot thank them enough. Thank you soooooooooooooooo much!!! Loooooooooooooooooooove you guys!!!

Now, my opportunities for modeling have increased dramatically, and my life has totally changed!!!

I will keep trying, never give up, and will make my big dreams come true!!!

I keep in touch with some of the models! I hung out with Mia, Gavyen, Martin, JP at a party last week! I really had a good time spending time with them!! I also run into Traci and Polina at auditions, and we talked together how we are doing now! I was happy to see them!

Again, I am so glad that I can be part of this season with these great people! I want to say thank you for everyone who supported me. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
