Japan has stories about giants called Oni. These monsters have horns on their heads and very sharp claws,an d they carry heavy clubs called Kanabo. To make sure these monster stay away people throw roasted soybeans out of their houses and shout “Oni wa soto” “Oni,go out!” They do this during the Spring Festival to bring good luck for the following year.Sometimes Japanese children play a game where one person pretends to be an Oni and chases the others.

Sure, she might be fast-tracking her way to fame, but she's still in Year 12 at Takapuna Grammar School on Auckland's North Shore. Her dad's a civil engineer, her mum a poet — that'll explain where she gets her incredible songwriting skills from!
