The French-born Kangoo assists people with their hobbies and lifestyle.
Vol.15 / Masateru Sakota BARBER SAKOTA

The "KANGOO" of Renault is attractive for its high cargo capacity and French-born design. Through this Series, we have been reporting on the appeal of the KANGOO from various angles, and now, for the first time, a real user has joined us. The passenger is Mr. Masateru Sakota of "Barber Sakota," a well-known barber shop in Shimotakaido. We will closely observe Mr. Sakota's lifestyle in his cool silver-colored Kangoo, which he just received at the end of last year.

Whether you enjoy it or not depends on how you feel.

Kangoo" arrived at the skate park "TRINITY" in Itabashi, his next destination. Kangoo immediately gets ready to skate.

I used to come here to ski because it's indoors and close to the station. I used to come here a lot in the past because it was indoors and close to the station, but it was nice to be able to come here easily by car this time.

Mr. Sakoda, who started skating in his mid-twenties, still skates once a week even though he has his own store.

I started with a few friends, but I'm the only one who still skates. I'm not a good skier, but I continue to ski simply because it's fun. I think it's the same with any kind of fun, but whether you enjoy it or not depends on how you feel. In that sense, I have always been good at finding enjoyment.

Needless to say, the process of finding enjoyment and continuing to do so eventually became a character of its own, which is reflected in "BARBER SAKOTA" as well.

Even before I became independent, I thought it would be nice to have a color other than just being a barbershop. As it turned out, I ended up with skating and bicycles, and I'm glad I did that. It becomes a common language with people who have the same hobbies, and it is easy to meet new people.

When you have a hobby apart from your work, the quality of your life goes up a lot," he says. Mr. Sakoda mutters something like that in his sleep. It may seem obvious, but it is not an easy thing to do as an adult.

Since I bought a car, I have been going to the mountains and riding my bicycle. By expanding my range of activities in this way, I get ideas that are different from the usual. I can also sort out my thoughts and feelings, and many things become clearer. So I think hobbies are very important.
