. a scene of a common family of three, immersed in work, housework/childcare, and hobbies.

Kaede has been active as a professional model since she made her debut at the age of 13, and Shogo is actively involved in volunteer activities in addition to modeling. They are known as one of the best married couples in the modeling industry. Their beloved son was born in 2013. They are now a family of three, raising their child while working together.

　

Until this child was born, we only thought about ourselves, but after he was born, our world changed completely. I started to think about things from the child's point of view. At first I was very anxious and groping around, but now she's grown up and we're enjoying life together.

While both of them are putting 100% into their modeling jobs, they are also involved in volunteer activities, fishing and art hobbies, and their families. It's a lot of work," says Kaede, "but we balance it out by giving 100% to our work, our hobbies, and our family.

People who have been modeling for a long time and are still active in the industry have experienced many things. Their smiles are not just the smiles of models, but rather the smiles of people facing the camera, and I think that has the power to appeal to people's hearts. That is why we have recently realized that it is necessary for us to have a variety of experiences, to enrich our hobbies, and to spend meaningful time with our families.

　

. I really think Hanafu is right. We try to live flexibly, cherishing family time and respecting each other's hobbies. . Since we both work hard in the same profession, we understand each other very well. Work, hobbies, and family are all very important to us.

Kichijoji is a place where three family members can realize their wishes.

As they told us, the time they spend together as a family is precious to Kaede and Shogo. However, they often clash with each other over such time.

There was a time when Shogo and I had the same day off. We had not originally planned to go anywhere, but I wanted to make a family memory, so I suggested that the three of us go somewhere together. I suggested that the three of us go somewhere together. But Shogo said, "There are things you can only learn at preschool, so why not send them to preschool? And he said, "Well, there are some things you can only learn at daycare. After that, neither of us took a step back (laughs).

Of course, this only means that both of them have an unwavering commitment to childcare. After all, they left their children at the day-care center that day. But if the three of them were to go out together, what kind of places would they go?

We like the outdoors, so we go out quite a bit. We get in the car and go to places like Lake Kawaguchi and exercise in nature.

If the next day is also a vacation, I might stay at a hotel near the lake and return home after a relaxing stay, even though I had not planned to do so," said Kaede.

A typical family holiday . The time spent with mom and dad must be one of the most special moments for the children.

And you go to Kichijoji a lot too, right?" (Shogo)

. "Yes, it is. . We often come here because it is located in a good place to come by car from our house. We don't just stop by for a little shopping, but the three of us often stay in Kichijoji from noon to night.

Kichijoji has a shopping district with many stores, from restaurants to general stores and department stores, and Inokashira Park is just a short walk away. The atmosphere of Kichijoji changes dramatically when you enter a narrow alley, and there are areas like Yokocho where the scent of the Showa period still lingers, making Kichijoji a unique town with many faces.

. there are many stores, so it's convenient for shopping. There are also some delicatessen shops in the shopping arcade, and it is fun to stroll around eating them, or to take them to Inokashira Park and eat them there while letting my son play. I also take them to Inokashira Park and eat them there while letting my son play with them. I also bring them home for dinner (laughs).

　

. She likes to move her body in a big place, so when we go to Inokashira Park, she gets very excited and plays. When we go to Inokashira Park, he gets very excited and plays. Then, on the way back to the car, he sleeps like a baby (laughs). Sometimes Shogo is too tired to drive, so I drive him home (laughs).

A mom and dad who want to spend their precious time slowly, and a child who wants to move around. The town of Kichijoji may be a good fit for such a common family.

When Shogo is working, my son and I sometimes come here together (laughs). (Laughs) "That's how comfortable Kichijoji is for us.

. why a car is absolutely essential to the lives of three people.

They drove the Cherokee to Jindaiji, took a walk, had lunch at soba (buckwheat noodles), and then moved on to Kichijoji, where they went shopping and spent time relaxing in Inokashira Park. The car is an indispensable part of their lives.

As I told you earlier, I definitely need a car to go somewhere far away, and I like being in a car in the first place," said Kaede Hana.

　

. You can create your own space in a car. You can put on your favorite music and drive to your destination at your own pace. . It's also a good place to think about things while I'm driving. For me, the car is a very important space to keep my pace.

On the other hand, for Shogo, it is a tool for enriching his hobbies and spending quality time with his family.

When I go fishing, which is my hobby, I often go early in the morning, so that's when I get in the car. Also, when we go somewhere as a family, I often drive the car. With small children, it is very convenient to have a car. My son also likes cars, so it makes me happy to hear him excited in the back seat while Kaede takes care of him during the ride.

My son was very pleased with the "Cherokee" charm.

Kaede and Shogo say, "We absolutely need a car in our lives. What kind of existence does a "Jeep" have for them?

Shogo said, "I have the image that Jeeps are driven by people who have style. I think of Jeeps as being driven by people with style, like stylists and adults who are particular about their things.

As Shogo said, stylists and people I know who love the outdoors also drive Cherokees. I get the feeling that they drive for a good reason, rather than just for the sake of it.

The Cherokee we had the opportunity to drive was a limited edition model designed to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the brand's founding. The olive color is reminiscent of a military car.

Kaede really likes this color. She wears olive all the time in her clothes, and sometimes she even wears military uniforms (laughs). It's my favorite color too, and the color of this car is perfect for us. Also, my son said, "It's so cool! He really liked it.

When I told him that we were going to ride in that car today, he was so happy (laughs).

After all, all boys love "jeeps.

After discussing the design, the two mentioned the interior of the car and its comfort.

I thought it was nice that the interior of the car was stylish enough to remind one of a luxury car, in contrast to its urban and powerful looks. I was impressed by the gap between the two. The acceleration is powerful like a sports car, and the high height of the car allows for a wide field of vision and smooth driving.

. and the wide range of illumination of the lights makes driving at night a breeze. I was surprised that the light is so wide and reaches so far. I was surprised at how far the light reaches. . There is also a nice feature for families with small children: the back door opens 90 degrees, making it easy to put a child in a child seat. This makes it easy to put a child in a child seat.

When driving in reverse, the monitor is large and easy to see, so parking is easy. This is also a major point," said Kaede Hana.

Dad, mom, and a little kid . The Cherokee fits in well with the life of a typical family of three. . Finally, we asked them where they would like to go on their next trip in this car.

I like fishing, so I would like to take the whole family fishing. I'd like to take the whole family on a fishing trip. Maybe a trip to conquer the five lakes of Fuji (laughs).

. that might be a good idea. We both like the outdoors and Tua likes to move around outside, so it would be great if we could go to nature. We have a four-wheel drive car, and when my child gets older, I would like to try driving on some rough roads and have a little adventure.
