1. “People have all sorts of bodies and I have this one.”

The designer Sari Takikawa talks body positivity with her model, chibiMOEKO, who has dwarfism.

2. “Human bodies also have angles, dents, and curves.”

Takikawa takes a moment to recognize the fact that human bodies are diverse.

3. “I never want people to see the bottom of my heart.”

In a compelling moment of vulnerability and honesty, the designer Koki Saito reveals his fear of being authentic with people.

4. “She was a lot brighter and more positive than I thought she would be.”

Daichi Tabata, the designer paired up with model Myu Ashihara, began with a certain perception and wasn’t expecting her to be the positive person she is.

5. “I compare myself to a mermaid because we both don’t have legs.”

“Like the mermaid who loses her voice in exchange for her legs, I lost my legs in exchange for my voice,” model Myu Ashihara tells Daichi Tabata, the designer she is paired up with.

6. “You see uniqueness as beauty.”

Designer Hana Yagi learns that her model, Makiko Sugawa, is an accomplished artist who illustrates her experience of being an amputee, bringing to it much femininity, whimsicality and beauty.

7. “Clothes may have had medicinal meaning.”

Fashion can heal but it must do better. Period.

8. “I was always thinking how to be inconspicuous.”

chibiMOEKO who has dwarfism describes how she was ashamed of her body as a child because people stared at her all the time. Her discovery and pursuit of burlesque dancing changed that. It made her feel seen and appreciated, and no longer embarrassed. “I feel alive,” she says.

9. “All words were invented by people to express feelings and thoughts.”

Choose affirmation and people-first language.

10. “We are all involved in our own uniqueness”

We learn that in Japan, the term “the involved” is conventionally used to describe people with disabilities. In the opening scenes, the producer Kao Kanamori explains that “every person is involved with something”, giving new meaning to the term “the involved” – one that involves all.
