Yes.
And you will tell us all about it today.
But before we talk about tattoos, I want to know a little bit more about you and your background.
You were telling me just before we started that you are originally, or you grew up in Sydney, Australia.
Tell me a little bit more about kind of what it was like and how you got back to Japan, where I think your family is originally from.
Before moving back here and going to university in Japan, did you travel back and forth a lot growing up in Sydney?
Earlier you described that you kind of have a mixed culture and maybe a bit more the Australian side on a personality, from a personality point of view.
How did you kind of perceive both cultures growing up overseas but having like the Japanese culture at home?
Did you identify more with either or at the time already?
Where do you think that comes from?
That they are only, maybe not for all of them, obviously, but they only get really, these underground artists get popular in Japan only after making it overseas.
Which is also often not intentional from what you mentioned.
It's just like the songs get picked up by some people in, I don't know, New York, Europe, Australia.
And then suddenly it's like, oh, these guys overseas are listening to this.
Maybe we should be too.
So when you kind of are at the age where your parents moved back to Japan for work and you kind of graduate high school.
Did you consider staying in Australia or where you kind of decided or not, I want to explore Japan more now that you kind of had discovered this interest into these different aspects of culture here?
You were telling me just before we started that sometimes people are considered lucky when they have one great professor in their kind of higher education career.
Yeah.
And you've had plenty.
