Hellow Welcome to Takako World

 Hello.

Takako World에 오신것을 환영합니다. 

I am the creator and artist, -MAID¥$AMA-.

First of all, greetings from Korea.
It is a pleasure to meet everyone around the world.

About two years ago, I independently released three original tracks along with an experimental AI animation project, and the music video was officially approved by VEVO.

The project received far more attention and views than I expected.
However, strangely enough, it never truly felt like anyone became “my people” or stood beside me.

To be honest, I expected that to some extent, and at the time I didn’t care very much.
But eventually, I realized something important.

People are often far more cautious and intimidated by things they cannot easily understand than we imagine.

After that, I spent a long time thinking deeply, and eventually I began writing.
That became “Goblinology.”

At first, it was almost like a light troll joke on social media, mixed with loneliness and sadness toward a friend who had become consumed by a cult-like belief system and drifted away from me.

But as I kept writing, before I even realized it, I myself had fallen into that strange world and into the existence of Corgiblin.

There were even moments when the real Takashi genuinely felt like he had transformed into some adorable and bizarre creature.

That was when I realized how powerful words and stories truly are.

…Next time, perhaps I should transform him into a rich and handsome man instead.

This place is called “Takako World.”

It is a metaworld based on my real life, containing both the darkness I experienced and the beauty, humor, kindness, positivity, and strange joy that we still continue to love.

This world is openly bizarre.

But at the same time, it is full of dreams.
Sexy, cute, ridiculous, emotional, and strangely happy.

I was born in South Korea, a country that rose from the ashes of war and achieved extraordinary economic growth within only a few decades, eventually standing among major OECD nations.

At the same time, I also witnessed the devastating collapse of humanity and emotional connection that emerged as a side effect of that rapid growth.

Perhaps I was given a cultural assignment to explore and express those contradictions.

And between the complicated histories and emotions of Korea and Japan, I also carried another kind of responsibility regarding friends living in Japan who, in many ways, still felt like my own people.

The same goes for Korean communities living in America.

As I write this now, tears come to my eyes a little.

Because I believe those are the people who truly love Korea more than anyone else.

In any case, this work is dedicated to them.

And perhaps the strangest thing of all is this:

What began as silly conversations with GPT during the rise of the AI era somehow evolved into a fully structured world and artistic project.

Anyway, thank you for supporting me.

I love you all.

-MAID¥$AMA-
