I Just Felt Like Running.
vol.1 Let's run without a reason.

Running, once considered the epitome of a modest sport, has somehow found its way into the fashion scene. If you look around the world, you will find more diverse running cultures, and even here in Japan, a unique running culture has been fostered in recent years. In November, Huinamu will focus on "running" as a special feature article. In the first part, we introduce youths who are running freely in the city as if they were going out to a club. We take a closer look at their current "mood" and "style" of running.

Running" is only a supporting role.

Let's move on to Tokyo on a certain day in November. Here, too, was a crew in pursuit of "fun" in their own way.

Gathered at Komazawa Park that day were Kei Hashimoto, a stylist and leader of "Car Service," BOBBY, who runs his own brand, ATSUSHI of "PAJA ATSUSHI of "STUDIO," RAY, an engraver, and YUSUKE, an artist.

They are business associates, and in their private lives, they go to parties and to hot springs. Recently, they have added the aspect of "orchid friends.

Generally, when we run together, Mr. Hashimoto is the initiator.

I often run alone, but when I need to talk about work, for example, I ask if we can talk while running. I often run alone, but when I have to talk about work, for example, I invite them to join me for a run. If I have plans to go out for a drink with others, I will go for a quick run before that. More often than not, running is not the real purpose.

Until then, meetings were held in cafes or offices, but now they are held on the track or on the road, he says. And, above all, beer is great after a run," says RAY.

Hash House Harriers, which started in England in 1938 and has now spread to more than 160 countries around the world, also usually enjoys a beer after a fun run. Our own Huynemu Running Club ♡ also decides to have a beer after running. also enjoys a beer after a run.

Incidentally, these five are all different in terms of athleticism and running speed; YUSUKE is a rugger man who has competed in the National Athletic Meet, and both ATSUSHI and BOBBY are quite good soccer players. On the other hand, Mr. HASHIMOTO hates exercise, and Mr. RAY rarely exercises. Even so, they run without worrying about pace or time, but rather slowly match someone else's pace.

Then, why don't you just run by yourself? I asked, "Then, why don't you just run by yourself? There is no other sport like running, is there? Hashimoto said, "There is no other sport like that except running.

I see, running may be more of a place for them to solve problems and create than a sport.
