"Does Anyone Know the Person Dancing in Odori Park While Eating Yakisoba Straight from a Fanny Pack?" We Found Out!
Amon (@amonworks), a prototype sculptor for figures and accessories, tweeted about a peculiar sight in Sapporo's Odori Park, and it's been getting a huge reaction.
昨日、札幌の大通公園でウエストポーチから焼そばを直食いしながら踊っていた女性がいたんですけど、詳細ご存知の方いませんか？

Amon's illustration is a bit surreal, yet strangely realistic, making us wonder if such a person actually existed. Then, on the very same day, a response came from someone who seemed to be the person in question, saying, "Oh my, could that be me?" And when we watched the video...

The location is Odori Park. The distinctive yellow pants. And most importantly, dancing while eating yakisoba with chopsticks straight from a transparent fanny pack... It was undeniably her!

The Domingo editorial team couldn't just sit back and watch, so we reached out to the person herself for an interview.
Mosco-chan
Social Media Influencer
A social influencer based in Hokkaido, primarily active on TikTok and YouTube. Loves dancing, eating, and having fun! Romantically attracted only to men. A 100kg, 30-something queer person. (Queer: A new framework for sexual minorities who do not fit into the categories of gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. A unique state where feminine and masculine aspects of appearance and mind are blended like marble. In Japan, often referred to as 'okama,' 'onee,' or 'josoka' (male-to-female cross-dresser)).
――How did you find out you had become a topic of conversation?
I found out on Twitter. I was surprised to see in my Twitter notifications that people were looking for me. The 'searching for person' tweet had an illustration, and it seems they were able to track me down based on my features. People in the comments of my TikTok video also told me that I was being searched for on Twitter. I was very happy that people were trying to find me.
――What was the reason for filming this in the first place?
I filmed it to post on the short video site TikTok. There was a trend where international influencers would post videos of themselves dancing while eating pasta or cereal with milk from a transparent pouch. So, I decided to dance while eating yakisoba, which I bought from a food stall at the YOSAKOI Soran Festival held in Hokkaido, out of a transparent pouch.
Since this type of video is common on TikTok, I never expected it to get such a big reaction. I hope this video can help raise a little more interest and awareness about LGBTQ issues.
――Could you give a message to the readers of Domingo?
Thank you for getting to know me through this whole affair. Let me reintroduce myself, I'm 'Mosco-chan'! I'm working to become a social influencer who can heal and energize Hokkaido, Japan, and the world.
I want to discover and experience the countless delicious and fun places Hokkaido has to offer. Please give me your support!
Thank you, Mosco-chan!
We hope this encourages everyone to keep an eye on Mosco-chan's future activities!
