00:03 It's been 22 years since I started collecting Barbie stuff.
00:07 I think I have been spending over 80,000 US dollar.

00:16 My name is Azusa Sakamoto.
00:18 I'm 37 years old and I'm a huge Barbie lover.

00:28 The reason why I love Barbie is
00:31 I feel some empathy with her.
00:34 Like, she looks really girly towards me,
00:38 but we both are really independent inside
00:41 and we really have things in common.
00:44 I never thought if it was any crazy or different from others
00:51 but I finally realized when my friends started telling me
00:57 to post my room photos on my social media and stuff.
01:01 I started having my YouTube channel
01:06 so I can share what I'm really doing in my Barbie apartment.

01:13 I don't wanna cook any boring food in my kitchen, you know?
01:18 I needed to cook some really cute food
01:22 which matched to my Barbie kitchen
01:23 so that's how I started creating some pink recipe.
01:28 I always love doing nails, my own nails,
01:35 and sometimes my friends' nails.
01:37 One of my dream is to be a exclusive Barbie's nail artist.
01:42 So many people gave me the comment
01:47 and they said, "Oh, you inspired me a lot."

01:54 (upbeat music)
01:56 But I totally wanna tell people,
02:01 like, don't be afraid to be yourself
02:05 and just do whatever you wanna do
02:08 as long as you're not hurting other people.
