Haruto Yoshimura - Backlip - Fukuoka City
"A shot from the tour with Haruto. He was shredding almost every spot, pulling off great moves. Had really good vibes. Shooting with a fisheye from the front shows how we trust each other, which you can see from the distance and angle of the photo."
ハルトと一緒にツアーに行った時の一枚。ほぼ全スポットで滑りまくってて、良い動きをしてた。かなりグットバイブス。前から撮るフィッシュアイは信頼関係が距離やアングルに表れてくる。
Kojiro Hara - Ollie - Hiroshima City
"We go on tours at least once or twice a month, often accompanied by Kojiro. Although I have never seen a real Samurai, the Samurai atmosphere can be felt through Kojiro, which is usually relaxed, but when on a skateboard you’ll see a moment of sparkling intensity in him. It’s hard to explain, but something is different."
自分達は少なくても1～2ヶ月に1回はツアーに行ってて、それにコージローもよく同行してる。実際に侍を見た事はないけど、そんな雰囲気をコージローから感じる。日常はゆるいけど、スケボーに乗ってると、一瞬ギラっと光る感じ。言葉にはでけへんけど、何かが違う。
Haruto Yoshimura - 5050 - Osaka City
"I like the straightforwardness of 5050s. Spot choices and body movements—all contribute. Skateboarding isn't just about doing difficult tricks."
5050は素直なトリックで好き。スポットチョイスや身体の動き。スケボーは難しいトリックをやればいいって訳じゃない。
Yushin Hashimoto - Nosegrind - Osaka City
"Yushin is a 20-year-old living in Sendai, a city in Tohoku. He is featured in TBPR's "LENZ3" and has a part in MAN WHO's "Manfujin”. — I’m seeing lots of potential in him. He looks like a little old dude despite his young age."
ユウシンは仙台って東北の街に住んでて20歳。TBPRの"LENZ3"にも出てるし、MAN WHOの"万風神"にもパートあるし、これからが楽しみな1人。若いけど、見た目は小さいオッサンで、落ち着いててええ感じ。
Ryuji Gushiken - Hippy Jump - Osaka City
"He chose skateboarding to make his life better. I feel that sense coming from Ryuji. He shoots videos, makes music, draws pictures—having various possibilities, he is one of the promising young talents with an exciting future."
人生を良くする為にスケボーを選んだ。そんな感じがリュウジからもする。映像も撮るし、音も作るし、絵も描く。色んな可能性を持ってて、将来が楽しみな若手の1人。
Taizou Muku - 5050 - Fukuoka City
"He is in a crew called Doggy Piss and has released three videos. If you search on YouTube, you'll find some clips. Taizou's about to be a dad soon. Wishing for a healthy and lively baby."
Doggy Pissってゆうクルーをやってて、ビデオも3本出している。youtubeで調べたら、ちょっとやけど映像出てくるで。もう少ししたらタイゾーんとこに赤ちゃん産まれんねん。元気に産まれてきますように。
Katsuhiko Nambu - Wallride - Fukuoka City
"He really loves alcohol and always brings good vibes. He sometimes screws things up and that’s super funny. A few years ago, when we went for a wall ride shoot, he slammed a lot, and after making it, he was pissing blood. I laughed out loud at that time too."
南部はむっちゃ酒が好きで、いつもグッドバイブス。たまにやらかすし面白い。数年前にもウォールライドの撮影に行った事があるんやけど、その時もスラムしまくってて、メイクした後に血のションベン出てた。あん時も笑ったなー。
Haruto Yoshimura - Crail - Fukuoka City
"In recent years, rather than skateboarding in the city, I've been seeking out new spots in the countryside. The concept is "Four seasons in Japan and skateboarding," expressed from a Japanese perspective."
ここ数年は都会のスケボーより、新たなスポットを求めて田舎に行く事が多くなった。イメージしているのは”日本の四季とスケートボーディング"。日本人としての表現。
