Akiko sings in Pre, drums in The Big Pink, sings and drums in Comanechi, and is always out, looking amazing.

Don’t waste your money and time on clothes, make-up and hair – just fake it, steal it, cut it, smudge it and mess around. I love fashion, but I never spend too much money and time on it. Simply because I can’t afford to. I still love designer clothes, though. I wish I could own some. I’m always on the road touring or out having fun so I don’t have time to spend hours doing my hair and make-up and choosing what to wear. When I’m on month-long tour I can’t pack my whole wardrobe in a small travel bag so I have to pack few selections and mix them about to make it look like I’m wearing a different outfit each show for the whole tour. Guys in bands have it easy – they just have to bring a pair of black jeans and some cool T-shirts, that’s it. I’ve noticed some people wear loads of designer stuff – clothes, bag, shoes, everything – all at once, and I sometimes wonder if this is just to show how rich they are, or do they think wearing everything they see in Vogue will make them look cool? I got asked to do this blog post and I said OK. That’s the only reason why I’m doing this, not because I want to inspire you or anything – it’s none of my business. And I know that some of Vice readers are gonna take the piss out of me and insult me, but that’s cool. Anyway, below are some of the things I like to wear. My favorite look of the month (above) is a purple check top that cost me £1.50, £10 leggings and £2 sunglasses. I don’t waste money on Wonderbras or boob jobs or anything, my trick is to just have nice boobs.

Sperm Javelin gig in Osaka, Japan back in December. The only thing I wore to play this show was this purple check top and some Converse that used to belong to Jennifer from Mika Miko. The rest of the stupid stuff I’m wearing I found backstage. Here is my sunglasses collection. This is my cat GG and my favourite T-shirt, which is second hand and cost £2.
