Hello everyone. From downtown Honolulu, I'm your host, Yukari Kunise. Today's broadcast is about Atelier Hido, which is a beautiful island. Atelier Hido is the owner of Himo no Rental, Nail Art, and Air Make. We are here at the studio to introduce you to the Japanese beauty overseas. Thank you very much for being here today, Ms. Naoko. Thank you very much. We were working this morning. I'm also here today to introduce you to Ms. Naoko. It's a kimono that I've been wanting to wear for the last 10 years. I chose kimono, and I'm wearing it. And I'm wearing it with my hair. I'm not sure if I'm right, but please do your best. So, Nagako-san is wearing this white dress. She's been wearing a kimono rental recently. How did you start wearing kimono? I've been doing hair-making for about 20 years. 20 years? Yes, I've been doing it since I was in elementary school. I've been doing it, and I've been doing it in Japan for a long time. I've been doing nail art, and I've been doing it for a long time. I've been walking on various ways. How did you start doing nail art? I started with S-Tae. I've been doing nail art, gel nail, eyelash, and facial. I've been to Hawaii, and I've been to the store of my master's. I've been doing kimono rental there. So, you're going to go to a store to buy kimono? I've created a website, and I've selected them in the website. So you started with the store of your master's. So, you started with the store of your master's. Yes, I've been doing it. So, you've been doing kimono rental in Japan? Yes, I've been doing it in a private salon in Okinawa. The audience was so cute, and they said they'd come here a year ago. It was a bit difficult. But I came here again for an hour. That's right. I'd like to ask you a little bit about the word TENKINZUMA. For those of you who are watching this show, I think there are a lot of people who come to the U.S. or the U.S. when it comes to the weather. The business that the people in that position have been doing so far will start again in some new places. But it will be online. There is no store now. That's right. But it will be done soon. That's right. That's right. We are also working on hair and makeup. We are also working on hair and makeup. We are really busy with our bridal hair. We are busy with bridal hair. A couple of 60,000 yen a year came to Hawaii from Japan. They said it would be 60,000 yen a year. They said they would get married one by one. They also did hair and makeup. For those of you who come to the U.S. to get your hair and makeup done, for example, fixing your hair color, well, it's a wedding. Do you have a lot of people who get their hair and makeup done? Well, I don't have a lot of people who get their hair and makeup done yet. But there are a few people who get their hair and makeup done in Hawaii. I think it's rare in the U.S. That's right. So, what kind of people who get their hair and makeup done get their hair and makeup done in Hawaii? Well, for those who get their hair and makeup done, Japanese people? Well, Japanese people. And there are a lot of Americans who don't speak Japanese fluently. So, there are people who say they want to get their hair and makeup done. Are there people who get their hair and makeup done by getting their hair and makeup done? In my case, it's a bit strange. We have a lot of us, in the U.S. We don't know if it's the U.S. we don't know if it's the U.S. But for the U.S. I think it's the U.S. but for other people that are interested in the U.S. you got to get a hair and makeup done at the U.S. So, there are some people who are interested in the U.S. to get their hair and makeup done. So, there are certain people who get their hair and makeup done by the U.S. I don't know anything about kimono. I don't know anything about kimono. As you said, even if you're a Japanese, if you don't have a cup of tea, it's a chance to wear kimono. That's right. There aren't any shops, so I'll wear a mask. I see. Even if you don't know much about kimono, when you're a little fashionable, you don't have to wear a dress in the evening. You can wear kimono. For example, when you go to a restaurant or a date, you can wear kimono like this. That's right. I'd like to wear kimono. Nako, do you wear kimono yourself? Yes, I do. I have a lunchtime in Tsukiji. Yes, I have a lunchtime in Tsukiji. I wear kimono, and when I go to a restaurant with a good view of Waikiki, I feel good. I feel good. How is it? How is it? How is it? How is it? How is it?

I did hair make-up in Niigata and Tokyo. You went to Niigata and Tokyo. Yes. I thought you were not in Japan at that time. I thought you were not in Japan. I thought you were not in Japan. I wanted to be a hair make-up artist. You wanted to be a hair make-up artist. I thought you were a hair make-up artist. I couldn't speak English at all. I didn't have much money. I went there. I went there. Actually, I didn't have much money. I told everyone that I was going to be a hair make-up artist. I quit my job. I didn't think I could go home. I didn't have enough money. I couldn't go to school for a few years. After I saw the video of you in LA, I saw a free-papers. There were Japanese hair make-up artists. I saw a lot of people who were active. I went to a salon. I went to a salon. I went to a salon. I told them I wanted to be a hair make-up artist. I went to a salon. I went to a salon. After I had enough money, I went to New York. After that, I went to London. I went to London. I was far from Japan. 先生はみんなサクサスしているかどうか… 日本の技術、レベルの高さや接客の凄さ そのこの人たちにock the high level of Japanese technology, 向上に服給して、加速されてる人もご覧ください それから価値観が変わりまして日本に帰ろう 日本を離れてロンドンまで行って And I learned a lot about Japanese. That's when I decided to go back to Japan. I went back to school once again. I wanted to work at a salon in the US. What kind of school did you go back to? I went to study at Estee. When I was 18, I went back to China. I wanted to study again. How old were you? I was about 30 years old. Before I was 30, I wanted to go back to Japan. I went back to Japan. You went back to Japan? Yes. I wanted to go back to Japan. Did you go back to Okinawa? Yes, I went back to Okinawa. Why did you go back to Okinawa? I didn't have any money, so I had to work. I wanted to go back to school. I was in Okinawa when I was in school. I wanted to work as a foreigner. I also wanted to study English. I see. You worked in Okinawa. Yes. I went back to Japan. I went back to Japan. I went back to Japan. You went back to Japan. You went back to Japan, and studied overseas. Yes. You studied abroad. You went back to Hawaii. Yes, I went back to Hawaii. Yes, I went back to Hawaii. Right. You were in a hurry to catch a fish. You had to be careful. Yes, I was. How long did you discover the fish? How old were you at that time? I found out. You said you found out a lot of good things, didn't you? When I was in my 20s, I didn't really have any interest in the 10-year-old. I only came to Seiji City. Same as me. My kimono is expensive. It's not my world. I don't have a place to wear it. I had a chance to work with Kitsukesu. I thought it was beautiful. But when I went abroad for a trip, my eyes changed and when I came back to Japan, I wondered what Japan was like. I wondered what Japan was like. First of all, I was told that kimono is more beautiful than clothes. After I got 30 years old, I started collecting kimono. You collected kimono, right? Yes, I collected kimono from Japan. You collected kimono from Japan? Yes. I have about 100 kimono now. For example, if you want to rent kimono, or if you want to take a picture of Shizuoka, or if you don't want to take a picture of Hanayume, you can take a picture of her. For example, if you search for atelier bidot, you can find it on the web. Yes, you can find beautiful atelier bidot. And you can find atelier atelier in English. It's difficult to spell atelier. It's French. That's cool. I want to ask you a little more. When I talk about it, it's like I didn't have money or I was young. I feel like it was fun. Of course, there was a lot of hard work. That's right. If you think about it again, many people say that it was good that you had a hard time. How was it? Did you have a hard time? Yes. Well... I can forget how hard it was. I think everyone has a hard time. When you overcome it, you can overcome it with your own power and be confident about it. That was the best experience. I was satisfied with it. I can forget all the bad things. That's good. You can sleep. I told you about the experience when you overcome it. When you overcome it, do you feel more confident about it? Yes. When you have a hard time, what do you want to do? Do you want to overcome it with your own power? What do you want to do? Well, I've been doing hair-making since I was 20. I started doing it as a freebie in the world of hair-making. I've been doing it as a freebie in the world of hair-making since I was 20. I've been doing it as a freebie in the world of hair-making. There were some people, who had a great responsibility to be honest and worked with me as a freebie. In general, it's precious. If you don't know anything, give them a big job from now. It is important to be Capitol fundingale to meet more people. It makes sense for people to come to America When it's going to be crushed, some people buy it and some people look at it like this. That's how you feel about it. In Japan and Hawaii, there is a business in Okinawa. What are the characteristics of Hawaii? Even in a business where Japanese are against Japanese people, I think there is a difference between Hawaii and Japan. Can you tell us about that? Well, it's very international. Asia is strong. And there are a lot of Japanese people. Japanese people are special, but they don't speak Japanese. But they care about Japanese culture more than us Japanese people. There are a lot of things to do. I think it's about that. But there are places where you come here and re-establish Japanese culture. I see. What you often say is that there are a lot of Japanese people in Hawaii. It's the time of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th century. But there are a lot of people who feel the same way in old Japan. That's right. There are a lot of things that we don't know more than us. For example, Do you know Japanese? Yes, I do. There was a time when I was told. I can't speak Japanese at all. I only know Japanese today. Do you know Japanese? I think it's a good idea to learn Japanese from the ancestors. What did you reply to? What is that? I see. I think we have one more picture. This is a message about the next event. By the way, on the right side of the screen, Mr. Naoko will close the door for me today. Can you explain what is on the left side of the screen? It's a picture of the temple in Kanehohe, Byodo-in. It's a beautiful view. This is the first of October, 2020. We held a free event and a rental event. We took pictures of the temple in my place. We also took pictures of the tea teachers. We also had an experience booth. This is the third time. It's not the first time. Byodo-in is a replica of the temple in Hawaii. This is where Mr. Naoko, who has been a guest, visited. He has a rental event there. We have a rental event there. We have a demonstration event there. It's a very interesting event. It's popular. Let's get started.
