PROFILE
After gaining experience as a store staff at a select store, she studied under stylist Hajime Suzuki. Since becoming independent, he has worked in a variety of media, including magazines, advertisements, and fashion brand catalogs. He is especially good at outdoor styling, and is also well versed in various activities in his private life.
Even on a rainy day, you will be fine as long as you are in a Kangoo.
Renault's commercial shows a family happily going camping in their Kangoo, even on a rainy day, with its high load capacity to support outdoor activities that require a lot of luggage, and thoughtful features such as sliding doors and double back doors that open and close, The sliding doors, double back doors with double sliding doors, and other clever features help make rainy days more comfortable, even if each action can be a hassle.
Riding in the Kangoo this time was Yurimichi Kondo, a stylist who specializes in outdoor-based styling, and his friends Shun Hatano, Eriko Ishida, and Yuri Yamato. The four passengers were his friends, Shun Hatano, Eriko Ishida, and Sayuri Yamato. The plan was to go to Lake Nishiko, one of the Fuji Five Lakes, for camping, but unfortunately the weather was rainy. Even so, they packed their luggage, chanting in their hearts, "As long as you are in a Kangoo, you will be fine," as in the commercial.
The drive is stable even with a lot of luggage.
The Kangoo is great. It can hold a lot of tools, and the double back doors open and close, so it's easy to put in and out even with heavy luggage.
Mr. Kondo drove a "Kangoo" for several years after becoming independent as a stylist. He says the car was a great help in his work.
I was talking with the president of a location bus company about looking for a car after becoming independent from my mentor, and he agreed to give me his Kangoo. I had been somewhat familiar with this car since I was an assistant, and I used it as a company car in the editorial department of a magazine I often visited. I had an image in my mind that the car had a lot of cargo capacity, so I thought it would be useful in my work.
Stylists have a lot of luggage anyway. So I was looking for a car with a high load capacity. This car was perfect for carrying a lot of outfits and equipment used on shoots. The high ceiling made it possible to stuff the entire rack into the car, and with this kind of cargo capacity, I don't have to worry about it when I go camping, as I did today. Even if I don't fold down the back seat, the depth of the car allows me to pack it down very well.
The group finished loading all the luggage. Without worrying about the rain, the "Kangoo" headed for its destination, Lake Saiko. Along the way, Kondo-san talked about the appeal of this car.
The Kangoo is used as a mail truck by the French Post Office, isn't it? I like working cars. So that fact also helped to enhance the image of this car.
The roads were relatively empty due to the bad weather. The "Kangoo" was moving smoothly toward West Lake, undeterred by the rain.
I like driving. When I am working, I drive mindlessly, playing my favorite music and not thinking about anything. But I also enjoy driving while talking with friends, as I did today. The Kangoo has a high ceiling, so it feels more liberating and comfortable than other cars.
Even when exiting the highway and passing through bumpy roads in the woods, the car runs well.
The Kangoo is very easy to drive. The steering wheel is easy to turn, it is easy to maneuver, and the visibility is wide. Even on a rainy day like today, it is a car that I can drive with peace of mind. Also, the car has a low center of gravity, so it is very stable even when carrying heavy loads. Even with a lot of gear and people in the car, like today, there is no problem. Even when driving at high speeds, such as on the highway, the car does not shake at all.
