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.

She speaks Dutch and English on a native level, but also understands Japanese and German.

Dress Up Town, Deshima Sounds & Trebulence // WEEB ROCK! Anime and J-Pop Night in Astrant
Dress Up Town and Deshima Sounds aren’t “new” names for the Japanese (anime) music lovers here in The Netherlands. Both have been part of the lineup for TomoCon (and TomoFair) and Abunai! before, but this time it’s not a convention that requires some entertainment…
JILUKA // US debut at Anime Week Atlanta
