Japan as my home
I think Japan is my home now. As I said, growing up, I was pretty transitive. We were always moving around. So for me, home is where I hang my hat. It always has been. But, more and more, especially from that third year, getting the rest of my stuff out here, getting the rest of my belongings, the things that were important, and establishing them here, that made Japan my home. I don’t consider Los Angeles my home. It’s some place I’ve lived, now. This is my home. Everything I have, I’ve worked for.
