What did you think of the Gravis Ojeks when you tried them on this time?
. They are so lightweight that I almost feel like I am wearing slippers or room shoes. I had never worn loafers before, so the design was very fresh. I had never worn loafers before, so the design was very new to me. Black suede looks mature and classy, so I thought they would be good for when I drop off and pick up my kids (laughs).
Rage-san, I have the impression that you are a sneaker fan.
I am often misunderstood, but of course I like sneakers and wear them on a regular basis, but actually I am not that much of a sneaker fanatic (laughs). . Lately, I'm more interested in leather shoes and shoes that are suitable for formal occasions. Sneakers that feel like leather shoes are perfect for my current mood.
Do you have anything in particular in mind when you wear shoes, not just sneakers?
I don't mean to sound like a hip-hop mannerist, but I always like to keep my shoes fresh. I don't have the concept of wearing them out.

I get the impression that you are very particular about fashion, but how are you feeling these days?
I am fortunate to have many friends around me who make cool clothes, so I tend to wear the clothes of those friends. I am always wearing what I feel like wearing now, without being conscious of the season or trends. So I don't seem to be particular about what I wear, and I don't have any rules.
Rage is always creating new creations with free ideas, so I think there are many people who want to know what you are interested in, not only in fashion, but also in other things.
When it comes to what I'm into, it's basically music, but recently I have the impression that trap music is on the wane, and when I go to parties with highly sensitive young people, the atmosphere is like a rave, regardless of the genre. I find it interesting to see college students who seem to like fashion, nerdy boys, or even bang-ya-like girls sharing the same space with me . DJing gives me a sense of the atmosphere of the scene that I can't get from being in a band, so I value the input I get at those times.
I think that feeling is something that comes with age, isn't it?
. yes, that's right. Not long ago I was also called the New Generation and treated as a youth, but I am now 29 years old (laughs). (Laughs.) I am often inspired by the energy of young people.
