HAPPY VERY MUCH

Tell us about yourself.

My name is Mari Nakazawa. I work on weddings in Asakusa.

What color captures you best?

Off white, because it’s often said to be ambiguous.

Tell us about one job that makes you unique.

I run a wedding production team called Happy Very Much.

What’s appealing aspect of this job?.

The food, flowers, music, dresses, conversation. Gathering the lovely people and things that exist, and being able to create a special occasion.

Who do you seek advice from on work matters?

My work colleagues, who I’ve shared over 3 years of joys and sorrows with.

Akira Kosemura songs.

There aren’t many boundaries between the two.

Who do you admire?

People who don’t lose their gentle spirit, no matter the situation.

If you could do any other job, what would it be?

An interviewer, or a snack bar hostess.

Who will you meet tomorrow?

I have a wedding event where various brands will be gathering, so I’ll probably be able to meet lots of people I wouldn’t normally meet.

What will you do on your next day off if the weather is good?

A night game at Jingu!

Any final words?

I want to search seriously for “good feelings” in everything I do.
