-Do you like to take a walk during your outdoor chill time?
Yes, I do. I often go for walks in the morning. There are a few chill spots among them. Camelback" near Yoyogi Park is a cozy, good-vibes place, and I often come here because the owner Kei-chan (Keitaro Suzuki) has been my friend for about 10 years. We sit on this terrace and drink coffee, and he introduces me to his friends , and we get chatty. It's a morning activity for old men (laughs). Kei-chan and I had been talking about working together someday, and this morning activity led us to open "Good good not bad" together.
-That's a nice flow from morning activities to work as well.
I used to be less of a morning person because there were times when I drank more alcohol, but with the Corona disaster and all, I don't drink much anymore. . then, on the contrary, I feel like I brought the social hours of the night into the morning and afternoon. When you communicate in a chill atmosphere in the morning, you get to see a side of people you don't know and have constructive conversations. . I realized that nighttime is fine, but mornings have their own advantages. Good good not bad" is a place where that kind of communication can easily happen, and that is why we were so particular about the décor and seating layout.
-I see. When you go out for a walk, do you carry as little luggage as possible?
Yes, I basically carry nothing by hand. . I carry my phone, wallet, and maybe a camera. The sunglasses I wore today are from Garrett Leight and are light and comfortable, so they are perfect for chill time. The shoes I'm wearing today are " Dr. Martens. I have been wearing them since I was a teenager, not only because they are comfortable, but also because I like the brand's deep connection with music and culture. Wearing something that fits you and that you are familiar with may be the secret to staying comfortable.
