The videos, the 42-year-old mayor explains on Facebook, are meant to break the boredom together as a community. And they seem to have succeeded. Kawakami posts to his personal Facebook and Instagram accounts and demonstrates card tricks, how to make a face mask from a t-shirt and how to create a lava lamp. The videos are a way for Kawakami to engage with his community and show them a side of himself he generally reserves for his friends and family, "I get to be who I am. I get to still be a mayor and hold the line and be stern and conduct business. But I get to release all of that and be my true self and it makes my heart smaller that people accept me for who I am. And I think that's the message I'm getting out to people that feel comfortable in your own skin. Don't try to fit anybody's mold and don't follow your own arrow."
