Naoki Matayoshi records Koenji.

While working at the forefront as a comedian, his love of books led him to write a novel that won the Akutagawa Prize. The fact that one can tell who he is referring to just from this sentence alone is evidence of the unique path that Naoki Matayoshi has taken. Shortly before he started his career on TV, Matayoshi spent his early years in Koenji. We asked him to walk around this town filled with painful but pleasant memories, wearing a mountain parka by "THE NORTH FACE PURPLE LABEL".
