What Grimes says:

13. This Japanese dancer, model, and artist Aya Sato
What Grimes says:
repost from fuckedandrejected:
In a country like Japan where new youth-quakes and western-influences clash with centuries old traditional culture/social norms, girls like the multi-talented couple, Aya Sato and Bambi care, but won’t let such views stop them from living life the only way they know how—openly, and as their authentic selves. Yes, even though same-sex marriage is illegal in Japan, Aya Sato and Bambi are gay and engaged. As a duo, they dance, model, and are multi-media artists. And as they continue to blowup on social media (including on this blog), they are bound to only get bigger. Stay on the lookout for these girls. They’re the real deal. In this video, Aya Sato performs in DJ Zinc's “Show Me”.
