Yuki Matsumura: A "Regular" girl, Model, Painter, Photographer, Cook / Japan

Yuki Matsumura's portrait

Yuki Matsumura: " If someone can add “individuality” to the Japanese dictionary, and have guts to poke Japanese people’s left cheek and say “Stop being so serious. It’s not the end of the world”, Japan can be a brand new world"

BPP: Who are you?  And who you really are?

Yuki Matsumura: My name is Yuki Matsumura. I’m a regular girl with normal thoughts, who models sometimes with many curiosities in; painting, photography, cooking, traveling, cosplaying, and knitting.

BPP: If you could say something important to others who were listening, what would you tell them?

Yuki Matsumura: Be nice to your curiosities. They are what make you special. Don’t just sit there and say you want to do this or that.  Also, everything has it’s time.

BPP:  What is your true dream, the one that keeps you up at night and if one day it were to come true you would feel peace and calmness in your heart?

Yuki Matsumura: I hope we all feel beautiful, just by being ourselves one day. I hope we will stop thinking people we see on TV or in magazines are trend setters and the definition of beauty, not forgetting they're not that special without makeup and a few hours of  photoshop. I hope we can stop comparing. I hope we can finally accept the fact that we are who we are, and life can be so much easier if we just let it.

My dream is to change the world, starting with just a little consideration.

BPP: How is life currently for the people in your country and what would you wish for them and for the planet at large?

Yuki Matsumura: If someone can add “individuality” to the Japanese dictionary, and have guts to poke Japanese people’s left cheek and say “Stop being so serious. It’s not the end of the world”, Japan can be a brand new world.

BPP: If you had a chance to be a child again would you choose the same life?

Yuki Matsumura: If I could still keep the memories of former life, No. I would want to try a completely new life. But if I could not keep the former life memories, I would probably end up having the exact same life because a child can never change the parents and routine. 

BPP:  What was the exact moment that you realized what you wanted to do with your life?  How did you feel at this very moment?

Yuki Matsumura: I was told never to talk about the major life plans until it’s actually happening. Study shows that if you talk about it, there is a higher chance that you won’t do it because your brain does the mental gymnastic to trick you that just by talking about it, makes you feel like you are already doing it. I’m a gymnast myself but not that flexible enough yet,  so my best answer for this is: Ask me again when my plans came true, and I’d be more than happy to talk about it.  

BPP: Would you like to tell us something we didn’t ask until now?

Yuki Matsumura: Yes! If you like food and exploring, please visit my blog at
