As the world has become more and more connected, it has become less common for families to need to move across the globe for a job. However, back in the ’80s, that wasn’t the case. So, when Stuart’s mother needed to move to Japan for her career, the whole family needed to go with her!
In Japan, a nine-year-old Stuart found herself alone and without many friends in elementary school. After all, the future musician was not only the new kid in school, but she didn’t even speak the language of her classmates. Needless to say, it must have been a little hard and lonely. Thankfully, Stuart soon made a friend that would make everything easier.
