White mountain glasses in grade 4.
How many regular pairs of glasses do you have now?
Ogi:I think it's about 5 bottles.
How about you, Okada-san?
Okada:. That's about the size of my regular lineup. However, once a half year, there is a presentation of a new product, and I want to wear it myself for promotion, so the lineup changes completely every six months.
Ogi:. that's right. . within a year, those 4 or 5 will all change at once for me too.
I think you choose your glasses according to your coordination, but I see that you wore those glasses with today's jersey.
Ogi:No, it's actually a different frame. Now it's work, so I changed it to clear lenses.
What kind of glasses were you really wearing?
Ogi:. this is it. The one with the color in the lenses. After all, if you don't put color in your jersey when you go to the beach, you will look like a nerd. Do you understand? If you wear regular glasses on the beach, you look like someone who is not used to the sea. But the moment you put color in, you suddenly look cool.
I see.
Ogi:That's what I always try to do. So, the moment I put on this outfit and put on this dress, everything changes. Everything changes the moment I put on this outfit and put on this dress.
. Indeed, it's cool.
Ogi:Wouldn't that be cool? . This is how it is. Okada-san, what do you think?
Okada:. very understandable.
Ogi:If you wear the ones with the clear lenses for work on the beach, you're just a serial killer.
You're right , that's true (laughs). Mr. Okada, do you have a specific timing for wearing colored lenses? Or, do you have a color in mind for such frames?
Okada:I guess you could call them a little sporty. . Colored lenses go well with that kind of design. Recently, I often put in light-dimming lenses.
. On the other hand, if you add color to your work, it can make you look cocky, can't it?
Ogi:Yes, yes, that's really true . . so I don't put color in my work. Only in my private life.
Okada:In such cases, a light-dimming lens can be applied.
Ogi:I haven't tried dimming yet. I think Okada-san recommended it to me.
Okada:. last year, we just added more variations and improved the performance. . The current ones darken as soon as you go into the sun, and the color quickly fades when you go indoors.
When did you first wear glasses, Mr. Ogi?
Ogi:. When I was in the fourth grade, I was playing baseball. I was sitting on the bench, and the guy in front of me suddenly swerved. Then the ball hit me in my right eye. And once, I couldn't see at all, only my right eye. I had to undergo some kind of infrared therapy, and after more than a month, I was finally able to see a little bit. At that point, I was already at about 0.1. Before that, it was about 1.5. From there, my vision deteriorated in my left eye as well, and I had to wear glasses.
I see.
Ogi:However, since my eyesight was suddenly deteriorating, I had no idea about eyeglasses. There was no Internet back then. But I had been listening to the Beatles since I was a little kid. I had heard that John Lennon wore "Hakusan glasses," even as a fourth grader, so I did some research and bought a pair of "Hakusan glasses" in Shinjuku. Silver rims.
You're in 4th grade and you're wearing Hakusan glasses?
Ogi:. in the fourth grade.
In a way, that's amazing.
Ogi:But, you know, when kids wear gold or silver rims, they don't look good at all. That's exactly what a nerd looks like.
You may be right (laughs). On the contrary, Okada-san, since when do you wear glasses?
Okada:. since high school. There was no fashion at that time.
It's like a tool to be used as a tool.
Okada:Yes, it is. Actually, I have those glasses displayed in the store, but they are not approximately fashionable. (He pulls them out from the shelf.) These are the glasses.
Mr. Okada wore a pair of "Renoma" glasses when he was in high school. Looking at them now, they seem somewhat modern.
Ogi:Uh, yes, yes . It's cool, but if you wore this in high school, you're a nerd.
. I think you are a little too prejudiced....
Ogi:. If it were Okada-san today, it would look good on him. . It's an unusual design, by the way.
Okada:. In the 70's, glasses had big frames.
I guess you didn't throw it away, but kept it.
Ogi:That's great. I throw it away , you know. Every time I move. Isn't that awful?
Okada:I have kept almost all of them .
Ogi:How many do you have?
Okada:That's three digits.
Ogi:Well, that's right .
How do you store them?
Ogi:Now there are always at least 30 of them, and they are all in one big drawer.
Okada:. I already have them in a case that holds hundreds of them for commercial use, don't I?
Ogi:Do you put that on?
Okada:I can't because when I call them, they ask, "Do you have anything like that?" I can't call them because they ask me, "Do you have the same one?
Ogi:I see. Also, the degree of the lens may have changed if the lens was made 10 or 20 years ago. And when you want to put it back on again, it costs money. It costs 20,000 to 30,000 yen. So, it is impossible to keep them.
Okada:I don't think you have to throw it away (laughs).
Mr. Ogi, of course, you wear glasses, don't you?
Ogi:All of them are with prescription. I don't understand the meaning of glasses without prescription. I think, "Why is this person wearing glasses without lenses? There are TV personalities who wear glasses without lenses. For example, Mr. Ohtake (from "Samaaz"), for example, wears glasses without lenses.
I'm wearing it because of my eyesight," he said.
Ogi:Yes, yes, it is a bit infuriating, isn't it (laughs).
