all about yayoi
Yayoi grew up in Japan where being half black was only worth something if you were famous; even then, it was used as a shiny gimick that became your whole identity. Since Yayoi was nowhere near being a celebrity and living in a poor household, she was unfortunately the subject to a lot of bullying. People made fun of the slight accent she picked up from her dad, people constantly tried to touch her hair or compare it to undesirable things, people made off-handed comments about her skin. Yayoi had learned to hate herself before she even had a chance to learn about loving the skin she was in and with a gruff father that had love languages so indescipherable that he seemed emotionally unavailible 90% of the time, her only comfort in these times was her mom and the little bit of singing she dabled in.
When her mother died, 13-year-old Yayoi was left completely stranded. She'd lost her biggest confidant and, with few close friends and only her dad left in Japan, had nowhere to turn. The Daimon family saw their darkest days in the years after losing their matriarch. Yayoi mourned on her own and essentially raised herself while her dad turned to the bottle in his own way of coping with the loss. The light at the end of the tunnel only showed itself after getting hit by the train. Yayoi's dad had been on his third-straight day of binge-drinking and, after managing to get home safely, was confronted with a sight that scared him sober: his little girl barely clinging to life after an attempt at her own life.
After this incident, the man decidedly cleaned up his life. While Yayoi was in mental rehabilitation, he went to regular AA meetings and worked to get himself sober so he could show a better self to her when she got back. He even got more involved with his neighbors, gratefully and wholeheartedly taking tips from them who had teenaged daughters on how to be there for her.
Once Yayoi was back home, it was like a different world. Things were still rough around school and in some public settings, but she had that strong support system at the end of it all. When she decided to pick up music fully as a hobby, her dad was in full support. He bought everything she wanted and more and Yayoi began uploading song covers to the internet. When she gained a little steam, she began attempting to write and produce her own songs. Not all of them were good, but she kept on practicing.
By the time that graduation came around, Yayoi had a little bit of a following around Japan. Rather than going to university, she had the hard talk with her dad about just going straight into music. He was apprehensive, knowing how sensitive his daughter could be even though she was good at putting on a solid facade, but he let her do it. The audition process was a slow and rough start full of insecurities and thoughts of giving up, but Yayoi eventually gained affiliation and, soon after, legitimate popularity as a singer. The one problem was that she was never allowed to produce her own music. Even if it was things that people in the company actually liked, the higher-ups always shut it down, claiming that the public what like what people like her put out.
Needless to say Yayoi was let go from the company after she got into a one-sided screaming match with the CEO that, while good for her soul, ended up with her being blacklisted from a lot of companies. Shifting gears, she worked like hell to establish her own name independently. She relied on the internet, connections, and more to give her name further reach. She was able to produce her own music this way, she was able to do the collaborations she wanted, she was able to say what she wanted and people actually liked it.
Things were great for Yayoi and her fruitful career on her own, singing, dj-ing, and producing in Japan until rumors began swirling around. Yayoi had begun dating a major producer on the scene and, as far as the media and embittered peers were concerned, she'd been using him to climb her way up to the top. Obviously, they were lies but the rumors put a major strain on both the relationship and Yayoi's career. She eventually gave up on both and chose to live her life out of the big spotlight. She missed music though after a while, so with the Japanese music scene being a bad space, she moved to Seoul and started DJ-ing and producing again under a different name: YADAI. She keeps it as a sidegig though and took up a job with Lotus Entertainment as a manager.
