Maybe you have heard of G.L.A.M.S already, but in case you haven’t: G.L.A.M.S is the new project of the former vocalist of Dio ~Distraught Overlord~, Mikaru.
But aside from music, G.L.A.M.S is also very much about art, fashion, photography, film… Everything creative, really. There’s too much to name.
雪 (Yuki)
She originally started the project in 2009 as a photographer under the name of Arlequin Photography, but developed an interest in journalism and translation ever since. Because of these interests interviews and reviews were added to the project, until it eventually hit the limits as a "photographer" in 2021, and Arlequin Magazine was added to the mix.
雪 (Yuki) is a native Dutch speaker with a graphic design degree, which means she is also the main person behind Arlequin Creations.
After all these years she is still the main person who does interviews the interviews and live photos that you see on Arlequin, but also a large chunk of the reviews and behind-the-scenes work and communication goes through her.
She speaks Dutch and English on a native level, but also understands Japanese and German.
