She arrived at Narita airport near Tokyo along with a friend in October 2017 as an overseas student after just one month studying Japanese. Still new to Japan's climate, Piastro recalls feeling anxious and cold wearing short-sleeves and shorts in the chill when she arrived.

She says she did not decide to move because of any particular objection to her lifestyle in the Philippines, and noted that, since she was her parent's youngest daughter, her mother opposed her leaving."I considered going to the United States because I can speak English, but the terms to be accepted for immigration can be tough," she said of her decision.
