A little over a decade ago, I left my small town in suburban Michigan and performed as an idol in Japan. Considering it was quite a while ago and not something I am involved with much these days, I don’t want to be stuck in the past by mentioning it.
I never thought I would see a mention of Miss iD on Substack of all places. I was deep in the world of Japanese idol reporting and fandom 10 years ago and remember seeing your stage name on social media and platforms like Showroom from time to time. The rules and not easy life you describe were well-known to me at the time, but it's heartwarming to hear about the best parts that you experienced.
Hey what a story! If you would be interested on a cross-post writing, we’d love to have something about your time as an international student in Japan and juggling being an idol. It would be for CollegeTowns.org. Thanks.

I will message you!
Oh hey, the person who played Not-You is also the head of the idol group I went to lives for from 2018 onward. What a funny coincidence :D
Refreshing read!
I always love it when you revisit telling stories about this era of your life. Pre-2020 Tokyo was so different.
You did great, you really put yourself out there and made your mark. It’s something you can be proud of for the rest of your life.
I love and miss you cutie <3 thank you for your sweet comment and thanks for supporting me all these years…
Miss you too!!
Any time ❤️
