MULTI

MEDIA

Asking “why” helps me stay honest and intentional.
Asking “what if” expands my imagination which allows me to explore beyond what I thought was possible.

Two years working across multi-media: producing broadcast news at Academy of Art University, hosting and editing podcasts, covering live esports on-camera, and building my own bilingual channel, K-Studio, from zero to 381,000 monthly impressions on YouTube and Pinterest. Full lifecycle, solo. Writing, shooting, editing, posting, analyzing. The bilingual instinct holds across all of it. The job isn't translation; it's making sure content actually lands in both languages.

The History of NOWHERE | Jun Takahashi (UNDERCOVER) & Nigo (A Bathing Ape)
August 2025

An analytical feature on NOWHERE, the short-lived but culturally pivotal Harajuku store founded by Jun Takahashi and Nigo. The video examines how a seven-year retail space reshaped global streetwear aesthetics and identity, addressing the gap between widespread visual references and limited historical understanding of its origin. This project reflects my interest in documenting Japanese subculture with research-driven clarity.

The Truth Behind Grave of the Fireflies
July 2025

A three-minute news-style reinterpretation of Studio Ghibli’s Grave of the Fireflies, transforming a two-hour anti-war film into a concise cultural broadcast. Rather than creating a trailer, the piece frames the story through historical and social context, informed by my background growing up in Hiroshima and exposure to first-hand narratives of wartime memory.

Yohji Yamamoto: Why He Creates Clothes for Women
August 2025

A conceptual exploration of Yohji Yamamoto’s philosophy of femininity, examining how beauty can emerge from restraint rather than decoration. The analysis situates his 1980s all-black collections within the broader Japanese avant-garde movement alongside Rei Kawakubo, highlighting silhouette, structure, and intentional austerity as forms of liberation.
