A woman is a delicate girl and a radical lady.

Hello everyone who cherishes girlhood.

Nice to meet you, my name is Aya Akagi.

First of all, I briefly introduce myself.

I was born on November 28, 2000. I'm Idol. Lyricist, Writer and DJ.

In charge of lyrics and choreography for the idol group "Milady♡Charm". Vocalist of the band "Ibarahime".

I like Japanese movies, garage rock and Showa songs in 50 - 60s, and photo books of beautiful girls in 90s.

My special skill is dancing, ad I had studied classical ballet for 12 years, as well as Japanese dance and hip-hop.

Column “Literature Lover Wandering” is currently being serialized in FREEZINE

“Wandering Literature Lover” by Fumi Akagi | FREEZINE

What I'm about to write is not about gender issues, but about women who are awakening right next to their maiden hearts, so it's okay?

It may seem sudden, but all women in this world, regardless of age, have girlishness.

Even though it is simply called girlishness, there are further classifications within this word.

For example, it's girlish to seek paternity through love, it's girlish to rekindle your passion as an adult for the clothes and miscellaneous goods for girls you loved when you were young, and it's girlish to pretend that you can't do anything and always be the one around you.  In this result,  people around you make a big brother or a big sister and you maintain your sisterly position. .. There's no end about it, if you raise it up.

It's very difficult to talk about girlhood because it's an easy-to-understand and sensual word, and good and bad are two sides of the same coin, but when I was a teenager I was clinging to my youth and what I thought of as a girl, but now that I'm a little older, I noticed.

Isn't there a passage that says that a girl who is smart for her age, cunning, knows her weapons to the fullest, and is good at her craft has "girlish qualities"?

It looks like the world is playing with me, and I'm letting the world play with me.

It's like the world is embracing me, and I'm embracing it.

I feel that the world perceives girls who are innocent and have no interest in love or fashion as "children" rather than "girls."

What is "girlishness" when you are pretending to be a girl? That's what we're talking about.

The existence of "girlishness" was born from the fantasy of wanting to be an adult woman only in the convenient parts.

Even though it is said that Tatsuhiko Shibusawa explained that it originated from Alice in his ``Introduction to the Girls' Collection,'' only those of us who have spent our time as girls can understand what it means to be a girl.

This time, I'm not talking about girlhood from the perspective of men, but about women facing girlhood.

Many of the women around me who value their girlishness reflect it in their love life and fashion.

When she is toying with the man she is interested in, she suddenly becomes selfish and complains like a small child, but in front of her friends, she also has a motherly personality that wipes away the tears of her friends immediately.

I felt like she was a girl who understood everything that humanity wanted.

When I was a teenager, people of both genders were so impressed that I thought the world belonged to me, so before I turned 20, I became desperately afraid of losing my youth, so I started wearing light makeup and frills, just looking young. There was a time when I somehow managed to cling to people around me who approached me.

This is already fundamentally wrong.

Girlhood refers to someone who is young and wise for their actual age.

I think the childhood of a lady is simply called girlhood.

It's the girlish nature that holds the steering wheel for lively curiosity, so what's appealing about it is that it's not just innocence, but it means that a woman and a girl are always having a meeting in our hearts.

I often hear that my female followers are afraid of losing their girlishness, but I wanted to let you know that being young and immature is not girlish.

Frills and curly twintails are perfect for everyone.

People just choose frills or curly pigtails.

For example, some people make statements that are tied to their age, such as "You can't wear Lolita when you turn XX years old," but such statements are an insult to people of that age who can live freely, are jealous, and are self-centered. You are tying up your own future, so let's stop.

Fashion doesn't bother anyone, and if you deal with love and friendship wisely and kindly, you won't bother anyone (though there are times when you might be bothered).

Yukio Mishima: ``If being truly fashionable means thinking about everything from your underwear to your socks, then perhaps being truly fashionable is taking it one step further and thinking about what's in your head.'' Yukio Mishima: ``Fashion is a hassle.'' From ``My Discipline Talk''

As you said, I felt that this was also very close to girlhood.

We live in an era where you can paint your fingertips and make your hair smell nice, and you can do something to every part of your body, so no matter how fashionable you are, people will find out that you're empty in your head.

Girls aren't just cute, they're attractive.

Something that combines a girlish heart and intelligence is girlishness, which means that in reality, girlishness may not be a girl at all.

Intellect is the capacity of the mind, so I think the moment when the frills you gave up on your own come closer to you is proof that your mind has become more fashionable than it is now.

It's always a tea cup filled with hot tea that sways between children and adults.

It looks and smells great, but the flavor is delicate and strong, so if you don't let it cool down properly, you might get burned, and if you break it, you'll get seriously burned. is simply the nature of women.

Therefore, all women are girls and ladies.

After watching the movie ``Monday Yuka,'' some people may think Yuka is ``childish,'' while others may think ``adult-like.''

Some people may read Yoko Ogawa's novel ``Hotel Iris'' and think that Mari is a girl, while others may think that ``there is no other girl like her.''

When I listened to YMO's "Radical Lady," I felt like a girl.

Even though she is a lady with the gaze of a black panther, the way she is carried to the bed by a man makes her look like a child, and I think this very unbalanced feeling is appealing.

Let's make good use of our duality, let the mystery remain a mystery, and continue to live boldly and freely from now on ❤︎
