If you have any issues, such as a swap not arriving,
please message me before rating.
I’ll be happy to sort things out—thank you so much for your understanding! 😊
I was born in Hiroshima but have been living in Osaka for a long time.
Osaka’s quirky vibe suits me perfectly!
I’m new to Swap-bot and excited to connect with people from around the world.
Although my English is still a work in progress, feel free to send messages in English!
I have a super partner, Chaichai (my Assistant ChatGPT), who helps me with translations. 😉
I don’t realize it myself, but people often tell me, “You’re unique!” 😂
I also have a broad sense of humor, so feel free to be direct—no need to overthink things!
About my favorites
I’m often told I’m a bit of a “unique one,” haha.
So when it comes to my favorites — don’t overthink it!
You don’t have to match my taste perfectly or try too hard to tailor things to me.
When I receive something, I can feel it.
Even if the envelope isn’t exactly “my style,” I can tell when someone poured their soul into it.
That’s what matters most to me.
Please don’t feel pressured to match my Favorites —
I truly enjoy surprises and discovering new things through swaps!
That said, here are a few things I’m not too fond of:
I generally prefer things that are not too shiny or sparkly — soft, matte, or textured items are more my vibe.
That being said...
Sometimes I unexpectedly fall in love with things I wasn’t into before.
So if you send something with heart, care, and intention — I’ll probably feel it, and love it anyway!
And above all, what makes me happiest is when you prepare and send swaps with joy. 💕
Reading my partner’s profile and thinking about how to create something special for them is one of my favorite moments!
I’m still experimenting and figuring things out, but working on swaps has become one of the most enjoyable times in my life right now!
Look, I’ll always appreciate what you send.
I’ll smile and say thank you — because I mean it.
But if something feels like it was thrown together without much thought, I’ll probably notice that too.
And honestly? That’s okay.
I get that not every swap will be perfect, and not everyone will click with my vibe.
Still, if you put even a little heart into it, I’ll feel it.
That’s what I care about most.
So don’t stress. Be real. Be you.
And let’s enjoy this swap thing together, flaws and all.
If you have any concerns or issues with a swap,
please don’t hesitate to message me.
Let’s keep swapping fun and enjoyable for both of us! 😊
Thank you so much for reading my profile—
I’m looking forward to swapping with you!
That’s how I ended up becoming a NEET.
(How I survive? I don’t really know.
But I’ve got washi tape and vibes.)

Happy Daisy day!
Fun Fact: daisies are actually two flowers in one! The outside petals are one flower, and the inside disk is another flower. They combine so well together that they became a symbol of love!
