>"When I was a child, I looked like a rich girl. I had long, permed hair. My grandmother, who was a hairdresser, did the perm for me. But deep down, I was a very active girl who played with boys more than girls. I loved taking lessons. I wanted to do everything that interested me. From around kindergarten, I went to ballet twice a week, dance three times a week, swimming, musicals, cram school, and piano. I went every day. There were days when I would go to multiple lessons in a row. I hated studying, so I would go to cram school to see my friends. I enjoyed that. I hated exercise, so I quit swimming soon after. I'm grateful to my parents. It cost money to take lessons, but they gave me a great experience. I've learned a lot."
>"I often tried to show off how weak I was. Once, when I was in kindergarten, I broke my wrist and everyone was worried about me and fawned over me, which made me happy. After that, whenever something happened, I'd say 'I might have a fracture,' and want to get an X-ray. I had a sort of fascination with things like slings and crutches, and I was a bit of a 'cunning woman.'"
>And I have a foul mouth. My teacher scolded me, telling me to speak more like a girl. I have two younger brothers, three and four years younger. It was brutal. I was treated like a slave. We get along now, but they said, 'We were scared of our big sister walking toward us because we'd get hit, so we'd run along the wall to escape.' My brothers are close in age, so they got along well. It's not that I'm twisted, but I'm just me. It's just that my rebellious phase was intense. I went abroad for dance studies and got a bit carried away. My rebellious streak only got worse. Seeing me like that, my brothers apparently said, ‘Let's not go through a rebellious phase ourselves.’"
