First of all, thank you so much for having us over, Yui. How are you doing?

Yui: Thank you for having me. I am doing well, thank you for asking.

We would love to know, how did your passion for cleaning and organizing begin? Was it something you always enjoyed, or did it develop over time?

Yui: Well, I grew up in a traditional household where cleanliness was highly valued. My mother was a stickler for keeping the house spotless and organized, and I learned from her at a young age. As I got older, I realized how satisfying it was to have a clean and well-ordered home. I found myself enjoying the process of cleaning and organizing, and it became a lifelong passion for me.
