NAOMI WATANABE | THESE NEW WORLDS? THEY DEMAND A REBIRTH!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Comedian, Internet sensation, fashion designer, and Flaunt-approved eccentric, our Phoenix Issue cover star, @watanabenaomi703, reflects on the advent of her global fame as the 'Japanese Beyoncé': "Actually, that wasn’t my first time doing a comedic act. I started out primarily dabbling in sketch-comedy, and then once I started performing solo, my Beyoncé impersonation just happened to be one of the many that I was doing at the time. Once I became focused on performing it more on TV, it blew up. And I was honestly taken by surprise when it got the level of media attention that it did. I started appearing on 'Waratte' the first year of my public career, so it was a quick transformation from there. Not going to lie, I felt a lot of pressure to continue to do the Beyoncé bit, and keep dancing and singing, when what I wanted to be doing more of instead was sketch-comedy."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

NAOMI WATANABE | THESE NEW WORLDS? THEY DEMAND A REBIRTH!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Phoenix Issue cover star, @watanabenaomi703, remarks on her evolution with, and the importance of, #BodyPositivity: "When I was in my teens, I was definitely way more self-conscious about my body largely due to the fact that it was so challenging to find anything stylish in my size, which made me feel like I shouldn’t try to be fashionable. So once I started to make public appearances as a comedian, I started experimenting with wearing different color hair extensions, and statement pieces as a form of self-expression. People still relentlessly dissed me for being overweight. They passed harsh comments like, 'Why are you trying to be so stylish when you’re so big?' I slowly adapted to a more positive mindset thanks to the overwhelming support that I received from my fans who cheered me on. That being said, body positivity is still a notion that needs to be universally accepted."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

NAOMI WATANABE | THESE NEW WORLDS? THEY DEMAND A REBIRTH!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Phoenix Issue cover star - comedian, dancer, fashion designer - the inimitable #NaomiWatanabe (@watanabenaomi703), speaks to this magazine's theme, REBIRTH, and how the idea has not only been explored when braving new environments, but also through the people she's encountered: "Looking back on my life, I’ve experienced rebirth many times starting when I was 18 years old. That’s when I made my move from the countryside of Japan to Tokyo, which was a huge culture shock for me. Another major rebirth for me was when I moved to New York City at the age of 20. I find adapting to different worlds to be a form of rebirth in its own right. And as a person who is constantly chasing a proverbial 'rebirth,' I hope I can continue to find it through my encounters with new people who both challenge me and root me. Regardless, I find all people to be fascinating, and a huge part of my journey."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
