Q1. What is your image or memory of "Vans"?
They have a strong image of being worn by skaters, but on the other hand, they also have the image of being fashionable sneakers worn by girls of my generation.
Q2: How do you feel about the new "OLD SKOOL" model?
They are so cute, and I love the stripe color! . The feel of the sole is totally different from the "Vans" I used to wear, and it's so easy to wear.
Q3. what is your favorite bicycle?

When I was entering nursing school, Seiya (my father) put me together a bicycle because I would be using it to commute to the station. . Anyway, I like the color, and I customize it in various ways.
Q4. what kind of fashion do you like?

I often match the colors with the clothes I want to wear, the shoes I want to wear, the bag I want to carry, and so on. Today, I enjoy coordinating my favorite items with other colors, using black and white as a base color to match the "Vans".
Q5. Where would you like to go by bicycle?

Isn't there a time when spring feels good and you feel like you can go anywhere you want? You just wander over to your friend's house, ride your bike over there, and say, "It felt so good today, it was great!" . I want to say.
