Nexter
Thank you for joining us today.
MARIKA
I’m happy to be here. I’ve had a connection with Nexter for some time now, so it’s great to officially collaborate with you and have this article written.
Nexter
Thank you. I’m actually a newcomer myself, so I believe you’ve had a longer relationship with Nexter than I have.

MARIKA
I’m grateful for that. Recently, I had the opportunity to work with a certain telecommunications company, which was a great experience.
Nexter
Since you typically work on fashion-related projects, working with a telecommunications company must have been a bit unusual for you, right?
MARIKA
Yes, it was my first time working with a telecom company, so I really thought about how I could convey the message in a way that would resonate with my fans. I paid even more attention than usual to make sure the message was clear.
Nexter
I hope we didn’t cause you any trouble with such an unfamiliar type of project.
MARIKA
No, not at all! For the telecom project, I made sure to sign the proper contract and used the service for a while to provide an honest review of it to my followers.
Nexter
Thank you for that. Are there any other types of projects you’d like to try or challenges you’d like to take on?

MARIKA
I’d like to try anything, but if I had to choose, I’d love to do more food-related or hotel-related projects.
Nexter
That sounds great! You seem like you enjoy a drink every now and then—would you be interested in alcohol-related projects?
MARIKA
Actually, I love alcohol, so I’d be totally up for it! (laughs)
Nexter
If you’re sharing the joys of good food and drinks, I’m sure I’d want to check it out too! (laughs)
MARIKA
I’m happy to hear that! Whether it’s fashion or anything else, I believe the key is to enjoy what you do. That way, it will resonate with my fans.
Nexter
It really feels like you’re showing your true self on SNS.
MARIKA
Exactly. I’m just being authentic.

Nexter
That’s awesome. Your fashion style is so unique and cool. What do you focus on when choosing outfits?
MARIKA
I’m often asked about my fashion, and honestly, I don’t follow trends. I stick to my own style. If something looks cool to me, I wear it, even if it’s not in style, and if something’s trending, I still won’t necessarily follow it.
Nexter
It’s your strong sense of individuality that helps create your unique charm.
MARIKA
I hope that’s the case! I’d be happy if it is.
Nexter
It’s easy to imagine you continuing to thrive in the future! What do you see yourself doing in 10 years?
MARIKA
In 10 years… Hmm, I’ve been thinking about possibly moving to a behind-the-scenes role.
Nexter
A behind-the-scenes role?

MARIKA
Yes. Even though I’m currently working as a model and influencer, I’ve also been involved in behind-the-scenes work for a fashion project in the past, and it was really fun. So, I’d love to use that experience and eventually work on creating something in a behind-the-scenes capacity.
Nexter
That sounds like a great plan. At Nexter, we also work with fashion brands, so it would be great if we could collaborate on something in the future.
MARIKA
Thank you for having me. I look forward to it!
Afterword:
In today’s world, individuality is highly valued. It’s no exaggeration to say that MARIKA has established herself as a pioneer in this field. We can’t wait to see her future fashion choices and other creative approaches. Stay tuned for what’s to come!
