Interview with YAMATO I want to jump off the social networking sites and meet my followers from all over the world.
. First of all, what is your impression of Lacoste?
. I have been playing golf since I was a child under the influence of my father, so I am familiar with the brand. I researched the brand again for this shoot, and learned that the founder, who was originally a tennis player, fused French elegance with sports. I myself have been playing sports for a long time and gradually fell in love with fashion. . It may sound strange to say that I sympathize with him, but I felt even closer to him.
By the way, what sports have you played? What sports, if any, are you still doing now?
I played tennis in junior high school, and I have dabbled in so many other sports, like swimming, baseball, and so many other sports. The one I was most passionate about was soccer! . and now I feel like I'm back to golf.
Do you own a Lacoste polo shirt?
I have about 3 short sleeved ones. The colors are white or bright yellow.
What style of golf do you play in the coming months?
I often wear a sweater over a polo shirt , chinos or slacks.
Do you own a pair of Lacoste sneakers?
Yes, I have it! I have the white "L001" that was released last year. . I like patterns and colors in my clothes, so I am the type of person who keeps my feet light, white, and simple. I tend to go for plain designs rather than rugged ones.
How did you like the two pairs of sneakers we asked you to wear this time?
First of all, the "ACTIVE 4851," which matches the athleisure style, looks active but stylish. Sneakers for running are not so often designed to impress me, but I was excited about this one. Also, the cushioning is high, so my feet don't hurt even if I wear them for a long time, and I don't get tired easily.
L005" is my favorite in that it is my favorite white color for street style (laughs). (Laughs) . Since it is an updated version of my favorite "L001," I am sure it will be very useful. I also like that both models are lightweight. Incidentally, my personal color is green, and the green color of both the lager shirt and the pants matched perfectly! I especially liked the pants because they had a luxurious feel to them.
You have modeled for many famous brands and attended many events.
You are eight years older than your brother.
. He must have been a fashionable older brother.
It's the opposite (laughs). I had been wearing my older brother's hand-me-downs for a long time, but I really didn't like them because of all the "sentai" stuff. I bought my own clothes with my New Year's money when I was in the third or fourth grade . I think it was partly because I wanted to be popular. . That's when I started to get interested in sneakers, and from the first year of junior high school, I got into sneakers.
How old were you when you developed your current style?
That was also when I was in junior high school. I was dressed like a surf guy, and my older sister told me off (laughs).
I see. You are currently active on social networking sites such as TikTok and Instagram, and I see that you have received comments from people in many different countries.
I just want to make everyone in the world happy. . It's difficult to do that in real life because of the time difference. It is difficult to do this in real life because of the time difference, but with SNS, for example, people can watch the videos before going to bed and fall asleep in a good mood, or people who watch the videos in the morning can think, "I'm going to work hard today. In the past few years, I have had people from all over the world find me when they are at home, so I would like to go offline to meet people in the EU, Southeast Asia, the U.S., and many other countries in the future.
By the way, which city do you most want to visit now?
Paris. I want to go see the collections, simply admire the city, visit museums . And of course, I want to shop at the real Lacoste!
