IN JAPANESE, THE WORD MONSTER TRANSLATES TO "KAIBUTSU" (怪物), WHICH LITERALLY MEANS "STRANGE CREATURE." BUT WE ALSO USE IT TO DESCRIBE SOMEONE WITH AN INCREDIBLE, STANDOUT TALENT. WHY MONSTERS? I BELIEVE EVERYONE IS BORN WITH A BIT OF "MONSTER" INSIDE THEM — A RAW, POWERFUL ENERGY. BUT AS WE GROW UP, WE START MAKING EXCUSES ABOUT WHAT WE "CAN'T" DO, AND END UP LOCKING AWAY THAT PART OF OURSELVES. MY WISH IS FOR MORE PEOPLE TO LIVE FREELY, SHOWING THEIR TRUE "MONSTAR SIDE" TO THE WORLD.
