コロナ禍による入国制限がかかるなか、PCR検査と自主検疫がネックとなり、
日本に戻っても、思うように人に会えない。
それでもタイミング良く声をかけてくださった方には、できるだけ会いたい。

パーソナルファッションディレクターの麻日奈芽実さん。
その審美眼と洗練されたセンスの良さに、お会いするたびに惚れ惚れする。
前夜まで徹夜作業の連続だったそうだが、登場された時はすっかり元気。

コロナ禍で縮小した仕事と、その反動で広がった仕事。
他愛ない話も含めて、数時間の喋り倒し。

表参道にある隠れ家的な和食屋は、パーフェクトに私の好みで、
おもてなし上手な彼女の立ち居振る舞いまで、しっかり学ばせていただいた。

最後は恒例の、芽実さんのインスタアップ用写真を撮影してお別れ。
やっぱり直接会わないと、伝わらない。

Amidst the restrictions on entry into the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic, due to PCR inspection and voluntary quarantine, even though I was back in Japan, I couldn't meet people as much as I liked.
Still, I liked to meet as many people as possible who were willing to talk to me at the right time.

Memi Asahina is a Personal Fashion Director.
Every time I meet her, I fall in love with her aesthetics and refined sense of style.
She said she had been working all night long until the night before, but she was in great spirits when she showed up at the restaurant.

Our theme was about the business that was downsized or expanded due to the COVID-19.
We talked for several hours, including some trivial stories.

This secluded Japanese restaurant in Omotesando was perfectly up my favor.
She was a hospitable person, and I learned a lot about her behavior.

We finished up to take her Instagram photo, as she always does so, and said goodbye.
You can't really get to know someone well unless you meet them in person.
