-Did you have the insight of that idea (Travel=Life) when you were traveling.

Yes, I did. I think it's good for people who are busy with work to go out and travel. Sometimes, it's good to force yourself to go out sometimes. There are times when I, myself, think, "This is too much since I'm tired," but if I go out and walk, I end up thinking, "I'm glad I went out after all." Going out and meeting various people and things, and coming across new things allows for new growth. Not understanding what's going on, everyday life and traveling are one in the same. 'The future = anxiety because it's not understandable'  rather 'the future= exciting because it is not understandable.' I think the future=hope. There's a lot of trouble, but accordingly, I think all is good (laughs).

Knowing your heart with cheers
- When is the best moment, when you're admits travel?

Because I like liquor in addition to dance, the toast of the world are interesting, and I like them.  There are parts resembling dance, and the ways of drinking liquor are different too, but I gradually felt connected with people whom I drank with. There are a lot of different ways to toast across the world, at those bars there are a lot of ways to drink and talk. When you first come across that way of drinking, with those people there, in the moment they vigorously say, "Kanpai," the tension increases. If you're a dancer, you can't help, but dance right? (laughs)

-Recently, it can be said that the youth cannot go out and travel the world, what do you think of this?


In this current era, even if you can't travel yourself, it is good to know about it. If you think, "This ocean is beautiful" and if you search it on the net, you'll get pictures of it. But seriously seeing the scenery and hearing the music of other lands is completely different, after all, 'experience is everything.' Because it's a simple era, and we use our one analog organic body, I think  it's best to experience  things. Recently, there isn't a person that looks like the hero of travel huh? I think there are people that longed for, "Ah, travel by motorcycle." in the past.

Everything About Travel is Original
-Surely. Longing for that hero, It was like I wanted to set out for travel. Before this, if I were to view TRiPORT, I would think I "Wow I should go! I want to find an oasis here!" if I could take pictures of the incredibly beautiful Moroccan desert's starlit sky. Knowing of someones travel at that time, you realize it's an amazing thing. But thinking, "I want to do this same trip," I know replicating a trip is impossible even if I were to do it. All trips become original trips. Still, someone is going to want to go. I think this chain of thoughts is wonderful.

-It is, isn't it? I think our service called Compathy is, "leaving behind records of our own trips, looking at new travel literature of various people, and making others want to travel."

 

Because the current youth do not understand these words, there are a lot of people who have given up huh.   
 Truthfully, it's okay even if we cannot say those kinds of words. "Thank you * Delicious * Hello," if you remember just these three words, I wonder if you'll be able to survive. For the time being, if impressions don't worsen and body language improves, things would become better.

-Is there a method for people who cannot dance to befriend others?

 

In my case, it was only dance by chance, but if you search, I'm sure there are many ways. For example, folding origami on the street… I think there are many ways to make friends.

Sorry for the delay though. I got sidetracked with a lot of other things going on.
