Column | The sea breeze is blowing from the filming location.

I had been watching the weather forecast for days. I managed to schedule a shoot in Shonan despite my busy schedule. The rainy season front was moving south, and there were rumors that the rainy season would start in Kanto in May, which is unusual. I had reserved an indoor space just in case. However, this shoot would not have been possible without the Shonan sea and blue sky as a backdrop.

This photo proves that such fears were unfounded. Yes, during the week that reminded us of the rainy season, Shonan was sunny only for the time of the shoot. The forecast initially said there would be only one hour of sunshine, but as the shoot progressed, the dark rain clouds slowly arrived just as all the shooting was finished.

He doesn't fawn, he doesn't act arrogant, and he always smiles and is considerate. Just by his behavior, you can tell he is a " real leader. " His back literally tells us that it's not just the muscles that show on his T -shirt that he has trained in the world field of "rugby," which requires diversity of positions and talent, and the spirit and dedication of the player, among many other sports.

During the photoshoot on the beach, he innocently ran many times. Even when his running shoes were soaked by the waves, he smiled and cared about those around him. Now, he is facing the charm of "running" which he hated as a player. The spirit he has forged through his rugby captaincy and the positive power he has accelerated through running blew away even the rain clouds on the day. This new item hides such power in a blank canvas. I hope you will feel the energy welling up from the depths of your heart by picking it up, putting it on, running and living with it.
