Playback] Taking the bus to the university! Kako looks cute even in a simple outfit!
What did “FRIDAY” report 10, 20, and 30 years ago? In this issue of “Playback Friday,” we take a look back at the topics that were hot at the time. This time, we will introduce a report from 10 years ago, in the February 6, 2003 issue, titled, “Popular and cute private outfit: Princess Yoshiko appears on the ICU campus by bus! in the February 6, 2003 issue.
After dropping out of Gakushuin University in 2002, Kako took the AO entrance exam for International Christian University (ICU) and passed with flying colors. The article introduces her visit to the university for orientation in preparation for her enrollment in April 2003 (descriptions in parentheses are quoted from previous articles. All ages are those of the time).
Good morning! he greeted cheerfully.
A crowded bus stops at the last stop. The bus stops at the end of the line, and passengers are getting off in a rush. Amidst them all, Kako (then 20) stands out by far.
It is 10:00 in the morning on January 16. Kako appeared on the campus of International Christian University (Mitaka City, Tokyo), where she will be attending this spring. Today she has a pre-entrance orientation here. She had dropped out of Gakushuin University, where many members of the royal family have graduated, to attend this university, which she had hoped to enter. I was deeply moved by the experience.
Kako takes off her mask as she walks down the tree-lined avenue to the school building. She meets a friend, “Good morning! she greeted her friend cheerfully.
Kako took the JR Chuo Line and a bus to get here. She was “disguised” in a mask, and the SPs only watched her from a distance. The focus of attention was her exquisite “motekawa” fashion, which was both attractive to men and cute to women.
“On this day, Kako was wearing a trendy chester coat and side gore boots with a snood (ring-shaped scarf) and a bag in white. Compared to the colorful college girls around her, her mature and simple coordination had a strong presence,” said a journalist from the Imperial Household.
After entering the school building, Kako attended Christian lectures and hands-on classes. The orientation session continued after lunch, and by the end of the day she was a little tired.
