-. First of all, what is your impression of Fuji Rock?
Fuji Rock is one of the biggest festivals in the world, and as a DJ, I wish I could be there every year. I was especially impressed with "Day Dreaming" when I first landed on the stage, and I strongly thought, "I want to play here someday! I was so impressed with "DAY DREAMING" that when I landed there for the first time, I thought "I want to play here someday!
. - So you are looking at Fuji Rock from the performer's point of view rather than that of a fan.
Yes, that's right. Every time I come here, I feel strongly that I have to be diligent (laughs).
-What are you looking for this time?
After all, it is craftwork. It is both visually and aurally pleasing. How will it be presented to the audience on the largest green stage, in harmony with nature?
. - I'm sure there are some influences as a person on stage.
Yes, that's right. For example, in terms of visual aspects, I am usually careful about fashion, such as linking colors when DJing with UNA, so I hope to be stimulated in some way as a visual element. Also, of course, I am paying attention to the VJs. I am looking forward to seeing it for the first time.
KIDS LAND
Kids Land is a hangout for children, where they can play freely at their own will. In addition to playground equipment and musical instruments elaborately designed by the staff, a diaper changing place and a nursing room are provided to support families. The playground equipment and musical instruments can be played not only by children, but also by adults.
-Why did you choose "Kid's Land" as your favorite place this time?
Last time, when I was collecting various sounds in making the reel video, I visited "Kids' Land. At that time, when I collected the sounds of musical instruments played by children, the sounds of bonfires, and the sounds of nature, I realized how interesting this space was.
-The children's cheerful voices are also soothing. The swings looked fun too (laughs).
. that the adults could enjoy themselves among the children. It was thrilling and pleasant (laughs). And it's cool here, surrounded by trees, so you can take a break. It is a good place to take a break.

-You are wearing Keen today, what is your impression of them?
Keen has also had a store at Fuji Rock for many years, so it is a reassuring brand that festival beginners can feel comfortable recommending. Such is the image of Keen.
-. Why did you choose Waimea Teezy Sandals? Why did you choose Waimea Teezy Sandals?
I also want to go in the river, so this would allow me to play in the water without having to take my socks off. . Yet, is it the grip for steep inclines and wet ground, and the safety of the toe protection?
-What are the requirements for festival shoes?
Safety and comfort. . I prefer sandals that are not affected by rain or weather. Personally, I prefer to wear sandals at outdoor festivals because it is easier to get wet when it rains.
Keen shoes make Fuji Rock more comfortable and special.
The three of you have all introduced your favorite places at Fuji Rock, but there are still many more pleasant places to visit. Of course it is great to spend time watching your favorite artists perform live, but since you have come to the vast nature, it would be fun to visit places other than the stage. I am sure you will discover something new about Fuji Rock, and you will fall in love with it even more. And if you wear Keen shoes, your special time at Fuji Rock will be even more comfortable and fulfilling!
