子どもの頃、アメリカのワシントンDCの近くにあるメリーランド州に住んでいました。多様なバックグラウンドの友だちができ、もともと日本の小学校でみな同じにすることが苦手だったので、その点ではより楽に感じられました。帰国後も、周囲になんとなくフィットしない感覚を抱いて育ちました。その経験が研究の関心の根幹になっています。
When I was a child, I lived in Maryland, near WashingtonDC in the US. I made friends from diverse backgrounds and found it easier and more enjoyable than elementary school in Japan, where everyone is expected to be/do the same. This experience led me to develop somewhat different interests from my friends in Japan, and I grew up with a sense of not perfectly fitting in the Japanese society. This experience has become the basis of my interests in research and hobbies (travel and hip hop/ R&B music).
