MYOJO 03.2018: Okamoto Keito- The Japanese Style Character
🔸During interview an old subject that quite often being brought out are “Keito, you didn’t know because you were in UK”, well it’s quite expected…I think. Because I’m here in Japan for just 19 years (laugh). I believe my “UK” and “English” image are too strong. Even so, I’m quite fascinated by old Japanese culture such as period drama or samurai. After I went to UK I feel even more to like it. It would be great if I can contribute something in this particular area. Speaking about “Japanese style” it has modest impression, and nowadays the chances of people to pay attention to them is quite low, we will try our best to protect the traditional culture and spread it to future generations! It was my first time to interact with bonsai today and I am seriously interested! Someday I am going to place this bonsai in my room.
🔸BECK is my favourite manga which I read it over and over again, and my favourite character is Ryusuke. He is a returnee who is incredibly good with guitar, terrible with kanji and sometimes speaks English. I try to imitate Ryusuke’s hairstyle, I have been thinking many times to keep it longer, but I always failed in the process and at the end I cut it… Now my hair length is almost the same as Ryusuke’s hair! My favourite scene is, at the time that scary American people were captured, when it just about the famous blues guitarist session. Ryusuke, despite has gone through terrible experience and injured his fingers, people recognise him as “there’s no Japanese that knows so much blues!’’. He’s so cool!
