Karin ||When I was just beginning to work as an amateur model, I was so excited. I was just full of vim and vigor, y'know?|| 1

Karin ||But there were some people who told me that amateur models were just girls who stood out a bit whose only talent was smiling for the cameras.|| 2
ch 1 talk
Karin ||When I heard that, I worked even harder so I could really stick it to them.|| 3

Karin ||All in all, that's what got me to do better at my photo shoots. And that led to more opportunities to appear in magazines, so it wasn't entirely bad.|| 4

Karin ||So naturally, the more I got recognized, the more often I got featured in the magazine, right? Eventually, my popularity went up and I became one of their top models.|| 7
[player] ||So your efforts paid off. You must've gone through some really tough times to get to that point.||

Karin ||Then one day, the magazine started a new project.|| 9
ch 1 talk
Karin ||They wanted to gather a bunch of popular models together, make a fan club for them, and then feature it in the magazine.|| 10
[player] ||Wow, I didn't know fashion magazines did that sort of thing.||
ch 1 talk
Karin ||Me neither, and it was my first time taking on a project with a group of people too, so I got super excited about it.|| 11 +

ch 1 talk
Karin ||I wanted to become a professional model who could even walk on the runways overseas for fashion week, not just for me, but for all my fans too.|| 13
[player] ||You're definitely the type who works harder the more difficult the goal is, huh?||

Karin ||I mean, not to toot my own horn or anything, but yes. That goal was what made me be so harsh on myself too.|| 14

Karin ||I assumed everyone had the same mindset. Maybe they weren't trying to reach the top of the top, but I thought for sure they were working hard enough to get up there, y'know?|| 15
