START OFF WITH YOUR NAME, HOW OLD ARE YOU? Hajimematsute, watashi no namae wa Momoko desu! Nani? Uwa! Gomen nasai, gomen nasai! Sorry! Sometimes I forgot to speak English. My name is Kobayashi, first name Momoko. It means peach child. I'm twenty-three years old, believe it or not. You don't, do you? That's okay, I don't mind. It gets annoying sometimes, but I deal. I don't have a middle name -- Japanese people usually don't. Not sure why. But yeah, that's sort of it. Not much else to say. Hi! ------------------------------------------------- AWESOME. ARE YOU A LOCAL? Local? No, not at all. I'm from Japan. Well, if you want the full thing, I'm from Iijima, in the Kamiina District of the Nagano prefecture in Japan. To put it simply, Iijima is the city, Kamiina is the country and Nagano is the state. We just call them prefectures and districts. I lived in Iijima, which is a fairly small town, for most of my life but I moved to Kyoto with my fiance when I was twenty. ------------------------------------------------- NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED. GOT A BIG FAMILY? I'M AN ONLY CHILD. Family? Well, my father is Kobayashi Kaito, who was a chef in my family's inn. My mother Sora was the manager, and my onee-chan Ikumi was manager in training. She's two years older than me. Nanako, my little sister, and I would do some maid work and stuff. I used to be engaged to a boy I met during my older school years, Akiyumi Ryuu, and I was pregnant with a girl I named Chiyako, but neither are with us now. ------------------------------------------------- GO FIGURE. DO YOU THINK YOUR FAMILY SHAPE WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON? Sou desu! They've definitely affected me! My mom taught me to play piano when I was young. I've been helping in the inn since I was nine years old, too, so my manners are pretty good. I try not to rebel too often, it makes okaa-chan angry, and she's scary when she's angry. I always had to look out for Nana-chan, who's five years younger than me, and Onee-chan picked on me a lot. Honestly, I was always the shy one. The one who minded her own business. I was romantic, who always dreamed of true love but was too afraid to talk to boys. That changed when I met Ryuu-kun though. He brought out the more playful and outgoing side of me. It's hard to be like that, now that he's gone. ------------------------------------------------- THATS DEEP, MAN. YOU SEEM PRETTY INTERESTING, YOU MUST HAVE AN INTERESTING BACK STORY, HM? Ee, I do have a bit of a story. I imagine it's kind of plain, but it does have some interesting moments. I was born to Kobayashi Kaito and Kobayashi Sora, in Iijima, Nagano, Japan. We owened a little inn on a hilltop, run by family and friends. We had money -- not too much, but enough. Things seemed decent enough, I guess. Sometimes my dad would drink -- those times Ikumi onee-chan would hide me in her room with her while mom and dad yelled and things broke. Mom would usually have bruises and cuts that she wouldn't explain to me after. She would always say "your father is a good man" and walk away. I got decent grades in school. Never in the top ten but I wasn't dumb. The only class I struggled in was English. In my older years I was a part of the music and soccer club. Music was my favourite, because I played piano and loved to sing. In music club I met Honda Minako, Hanamura Aiko and Utada Emiko. They were beautiful girls, all of them, and my best friends. I met Doujima Michiko in soccer, too. She would help me study. During second year, on Golden week, I ran into Akiyumi Ryuu, a boy from third year. I mean that literally.I was riding my bike and was watching a butterfly when I crashed into him. You could call it love at first sight. I called it extreme embarrassment. He thought I was cute, though, and that's all that mattered. Ryuu was from Kyoto, a big city, and was living in Iijima with his grandmother, but he needed someone to show him around because his grandmother couldn't get out much. Two months later we started dating. At first Ryuu seemed like the perfect guy, but thing did change. He was like my dad – sake made him mean and he liked sake a lot. One day I found him cheating on me with Mina-chan, and he struck me in front of him. I was humiliated and furious, and shortly after I said enough was enough. I was heart broken. I really loved Ryuu – I thought we were going to get married one day. We rode bikes together, had picnics under the cherry trees, sang together, wrote love letters... but as cute and as sweet as we were, I couldn't handle the hurt and the anger. I didn't speak to him for a year and in that year he stopped drinking, got his life together. He showed up n my doorstep with flowers and a plushie cat toy, and promised he would be better this time. Although I was nervous and skeptical, I accepted his apology and he never hit me again unless I really deserved it. When I was twenty years old, he proposed to me and I happily accepted. We moved to Kyoto, where I could meet his family, and we started our life. I was twenty one when I found out I was going to have a daughter. Ryuu and I were the happiest people in the world – we couldn't wait. We called her Chiyako, which meant Eternal Child. I didn't have the easiest pregnancy, and wow did the hormones drive me crazy, but he loved me and did all he could to make me happy. Well, he did until roughly four months into the pregnancy. We were riding on his motorcycle in Kyoto. There was only the one helmet – it was my first time riding on his bike and I wouldn't have gotten on if it weren't an emergency – and in the middle of the ride he had taken it off and given it to me. I realized too late that the brakes had broken, and I was the only survivor in the crash. The crash took everything, Ryuu... Chiyako... everthing. After the ceremony, I moved to Tokyo, writing depressing music for a year before deciding to move to California for a fresh start, away from all the memories. It hasn't been easy – I've become a bit of a recluse and singing makes me think of him, so I try to avoid it – but enrolling myself in college has become the first step to recovery. Or so I think. ------------------------------------------------- MAYBE I SHOULDN'T HAVE ASKED. ANYWAY, THATS IT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. I'm okay. I'll be okay. Thank you for taking time to listen. ------------------------------------------------- THE PERSON BEHIND THIS WONDERFUL CHARACTER IS GENERALLY CALLED LUNA AND SITS AT SEVENTEEN. SHE LIVES IN THE PST TIMEZONE. ALSO, THIS CHARACTER LOOKS PRETTY SIMILAR TO AI OTSUKA, DON'T YOU THINK? |
