KURUMA'S SELECT ITEM
DAYPACK GIANT purple ¥11,880
A super-sized backpack with a capacity of more than 50 liters, which can be used for long trips. Even if the contents are empty, the crumpled look is a nice touch.
I don't want to have my hands full without being able to put things in.
Shinagawa Station
On a Friday of a certain week, we met Kuruma-san at Shinagawa Station in Tokyo. On that day, he had a performance at the "Namba Grand kagetsu" and took the Shinkansen to Osaka.
At the exact time of our meeting time, Kuruma-san, dressed in all black, arrived with a "nerdy" air. He was carrying a huge "Outdoor Products" backpack. Why is he carrying such a big backpack?
I have a change of clothes and stage clothes in here, and I also buy water and tea, and sometimes I receive gifts at the site. If the bag is too small, I would have to carry it back home by hand. I really don't like having my hands full, so I prefer a large bag.
Sometimes it's a suitcase, but that too is full of hands, inevitably less maneuverable, and depending on the seat on the bullet train, I have to put it on the top shelf. There are many small stresses in exchange for the ease of use, so he says that his bag ratio is higher these days.
Kuruma-san commutes to Osaka once a week and makes numerous other business trips to other parts of the country. Recently, he has been riding the Shinkansen bullet train so much that he has a set routine.
When I go on a business trip to Osaka, I use my iPad to return e-mails and check my work by Shin-Yokohama or so. After Shin-Yokohama, the signal becomes poor, so I watch YouTube videos of comedians and subscriptions that I have downloaded. I often say that my mind is sharp in the morning. A while ago, I tried to follow that example and bring my PC in to work, but I was so distracted that it didn't work at all. I gave up.
Soon, the bullet train that Kuruma-san boarded arrived.
