Sleeping Beauty 🌹

What a magical ballet.

So many ballerinas say Aurora is one of the hardest roles you will ever dance — and it’s true. It challenged me in every way. But I didn’t expect how much JOY it would bring me. To dance, to perform, to tell this beautiful story… it’s a feeling I can’t even describe.

Sleeping Beauty has always been one of my dream roles. I never thought this day would come so soon.

This ballet started my journey back in 2019, when I was still in the second company. After that performance, I received my corps de ballet contract.
And now, in 2026, after my Aurora debut… I was promoted to Principal. I’m still in shock. Truly.

I am here because of my artistic staff, my colleagues, my friends, and my family. Thank you for always supporting me, believing in me, and lifting me up.

And thank you for all the sweet messages from around the world 🤍
I will keep growing. I will keep moving forward.

With gratitude. 🌹✨

眠れる森の美女 🌹

本当に魔法みたいな時間でした。

オーロラは「今までで一番難しい役のひとつ」ってよく言われますが…本当にその通りでした。すごく大変だったけど、それ以上に大きな喜びがありました。踊ること、舞台に立つこと、この物語を生きること。全部が特別でした。

『眠れる森の美女』はずっと夢だった役。こんなに早くその日が来るなんて思っていなかったです。

2019年、まだセカンドカンパニーだった頃にこの作品が私の大きな一歩になりました。その公演後にコール・ド・バレエの契約をいただきました。
そして2026年、オーロラデビューの後にプリンシパルに昇進。今でも信じられません。

ここまで来られたのは、カンパニースタッフ、仲間、友達、そして家族のおかげ。本当にいつもありがとう。
世界中からの温かいメッセージにも感謝です 🤍まだまだ未熟ですが毎日コツコツと頑張り、成長し続けてたいと思います💖
