Behind the scenes of MIKA's Diary filming

One fine day, we headed to natuRe TOKYO in Sendagaya.
The shop was located in a location surrounded by greenery, which made it hard to believe it was in the middle of Tokyo.

NATURE TOKYO

The dynamic dried flowers hanging from the ceiling, the tasteful interior accessories casually placed inside the store, the artistic bottle of natural wine casually placed on the stairs leading to the second floor... I personally loved the interior of natuRe TOKYO. There is also terrace seating surrounded by greenery on the first floor, which gives you an open feeling that makes you forget you are in the city. The food is great, of course, but the space is also wonderful, so be sure to check out the interior when you go.


OFF SHOT COLLECTION

From here on, we will be sharing some behind-the-scenes shots that we couldn't fit into the content!
There will also be some delicious looking dishes!

# SCENE 1

In the scenes where people are drinking drinks and eating food inside the restaurant, the film crew focused on bringing out "natural smiles."
Mika is used to being in front of the camera from her regular photo shoots, but she gives off a very cool impression, so the key was to find a way to bring out her natural expression.
In the scene where he is eating, staff member K plays the role of his partner and chats across from him.

A casual yet feminine one-tone cotton lace outfit is perfect.
A scene where the character is eating food. Fine adjustments are made to make the sleeve look beautiful.

# SCENE 2

We had some chill time drinking herbal tea on the terrace. By this time, she had gotten used to the atmosphere of the shoot and looked relaxed.
And as you can imagine, the thing that makes Mika smile the most is simply delicious looking food.

This mature, one-tone outfit, created with a brown gradation, creates a relaxed atmosphere.

# SCENE 3

A scene of a walk outside. This scene may have taken the longest time.
And speaking of Mika, the combination of bun and glasses is a magical one. The combination of bun and glasses gives off a bright, cheerful, and cute vibe, making the usually cool Mika look even more approachable. The mini bouquet she is holding in her hand was sold at natuRe TOKYO.

The leopard print of the sunshade umbrella adds an accent to the simple dress.
This is another delicious looking plate of salmon, and Mika happily eating the food after the photo shoot.

# SCENE 4

For SCENE 4, we wanted to take photos that looked active, in line with the styling chosen for her, so we had her move around in various ways. However, she doesn't usually exercise much. Even though she loves to eat, we're envious of her style.

The yellow linen pants and logo T-shirt give off a healthy vibe. It reminds me of a mineral water commercial.
Step by step...
The seemingly mismatched tennis court in the background adds a nice touch.

What I felt through this shoot was that he is a person with a "gap" in a good way.
Contrary to the cool impression she usually gives off, Mika has a very soft and gentle air about her.
You can see her daily life and recommended items on Mika's Instagram and STAFFBOARD, so be sure to check them out!
