Transcript excerpt

I married my husband Kaito Yamamoto, and we got together in tier, and we got married in 2021. And then he passed away in 2024 Mhmm. May. So it was pretty quick. And he had a brain tumor. He was also a business owner. He is a fashion brand called Son of the Cheese Mhmm. This and a restaurant called Buy Best Stand that serves grilled cheese sandwiches in Shibuya. And so I inherited that. And at the time when he passed away, the business was in pretty bad shape because because he had been sick for a while, so he couldn't take care of it in the same way. Mhmm. And then also, a lot of it was built around him as, like, the main face of it. And so when he's gone, you know, who wants to buy the clothes anymore? Mhmm. And so it was just really messy and just... It was in bad shape. And I remember thinking, like, if there was one thing that could fix this, it would just be to have this business be, like, 10 x famous. Mhmm. Or, like, if I was famous, people would go. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? It just seems like the main thing to do.
