The most enjoyable part of manufacturing.
I would like to ask you both a few questions. First of all, Mr. Mihara, which stage do you enjoy the most when making clothes?
Mihara:The best part of the job is when you genuinely discover an idea. Literally, the word "discovery" is close to the word "finding." It is important to find the idea or essence of the design as the root of the design, just as if the pieces of a puzzle fit together. Design is a methodology of how to express it. It is easy to create something simply cool, and I feel pleasure when I am able to create something essential or essential.

Hayashi-san, you have always said that you like writing proposals.
Forest:The proposals that I write are different from the general blueprints for plastic models. For example, there are cases where I do not write storyboards, or where I only use words in the proposal, or where the only thing that is decided is the final picture. The process leading up to the final picture is decided on site.
Mihara:In this video, I was in charge of the placement of the models at the end (laughs).
Forest:It was an important part of the closing, so I left it to them (laughs). (Laughs). It is exciting to be on site to make such decisions. I also enjoy the editing process of taking what I have shot on site and assembling it back home. It is also nice to match the rhythm of the models' breathing and walking speed. I want to have the sense of picking up on things that happen on site that I never thought would happen.
Mihara:Emotion is the exercise of the mind, isn't it? Sometimes when I watch an old movie, I suddenly feel an emotional movement, even though I didn't feel anything all those years before. We know that it moves because we study it so much that it doesn't move. In other words, when you look at the pendulum of emotion, where you look is to study and identify the point where it doesn't move. If you can find the point where it stops, it is easy to move it. The same goes for images, if you know where it stops when you watch an image, it is easy to move it.
Please tell us a little more about that.
Mihara:For example, there is a military jacket called MA-1 that everyone knows, and when you see it, you don't feel anything. That's because we look at things based on so-called fixed concepts. When you see a Coke bottle made of plastic or edible candy instead of glass, for example, your heart is instantly moved. Suddenly the concept changes. In the same way, when you are shown where the essential thing is, it becomes very enjoyable. This goes along with the idea I mentioned earlier. In this area, images are much freer than fashion. The object ......, for example, even a single button, is a fixed concept. With images, even if a strange image suddenly appears, the viewer can accept it as just an image.
