Exploring the one-and-only, MY G-SHOCK.Case02 Rinmu Nakamura, BMX rider

MY G-SHOCK" is a new service that allows users to create a "G-SHOCK" in the color of their choice. Based on the famous "DWE-5610" model, users can create their own one-of-a-kind watch by combining their favorite colors for the dial, bezel, belt, belt loop, and buckle. The total number of combinations is said to be as many as 1.9 million. This time, the "MY G-SHOCK" challenge will be taken on by Nakamura Rinmu, whose BMX freestyle performance at an international sports festival is still fresh in the mind. The item created by Nakamura, who bears the Japanese flag on his back and takes on the challenge of competing against the world, is a one-of-a-kind coloring that only Nakamura could have created, which shows his enthusiasm and spirit.

An international sports festival is still something else. It is also possible to express that feeling here.

Nakamura, looking at the parts of "MY G-SHOCK" on the table, says with an excited expression, "This is going to be a problem.

Basically, I like simple things, so most of my clothes are black and white. When I participated in an international sports festival, I wore a gold-colored G-Shock to show my courage (laughs). (Laughs) Also, I am not a big person, so I prefer slim items to bulky models. That's why the 5600 series suits me.

As he speaks, he immediately begins the "MY G-SHOCK" experience.

I like the simple color scheme of all the dials. I wonder if I would prefer this all-black color if I thought about wearing it myself. The red belt is also cool. I'm also kind of curious about the yellow one.

Instead of deciding on a color scheme for each part, Nakamura experiments with a variety of combinations to find his favorite color scheme. He says, "Maybe I should use a color scheme that has some meaning," as he searches for colors that have a connection with him.

My BMX is black and white, so it's too simple, and I don't really watch sports, even if they are the colors of my favorite sports teams.... Ah, but this yellow and black combination is 'Crazy BMX! But this yellow and black combination is the color scheme of the "Crazy Bee. I like martial arts and respect Kyoji Horiguchi a lot. I think this color scheme is a good idea.

Nakamura, who says he loves the mixed martial arts gym "Crazy Bee," seemed to like the combination of yellow and black, the colors of the gym's image. However, he did not make a decision there, but tried other color schemes.

I thought the combination of white and red was also a nice Japanese color."

Nakamura has participated in international sports festivals and carried the Japanese flag on his back. This combination can be said to be his unique color scheme.

I tried not to be so conscious of the fact that I was representing Japan, but when I stood on the stage, I felt it. I didn't feel that much at other competitions, but that competition was something else. I was going to win the gold medal, so I was very disappointed, but on the other hand, because of that experience on the world's biggest stage and at a competition held in my home country, I feel that I can take on any challenge from now on without losing any pressure. It is also possible to express my feelings at that time here.

Having said that, watching Nakamura's repeated trial and error, it seems to me that the spirit of an athlete who is willing to go beyond his/her limits resides here as well.

I'm actually a bit interested in purple as well. Purple is the color of my hometown, Kyoto. I used to use it as the color of my BMX once upon a time. I have never seen a purple "G-SHOCK" before, and I wanted to create something like that. Combined with the fact that it is a color that symbolizes my hometown, I feel most comfortable with this color.
