I would be happy if something invisible to the eye could be conveyed.
What kind of direction will you take as "Captain Sunshine" from now on? What do you have in mind?
Kojima: As I mentioned earlier, I would like to slowly increase the number of brand bases and directly managed stores. I would like to create places around the country where we can directly convey the brand's will.
I think each customer has his or her own shopping story, but I feel that buying from a directly-managed store has a lot of meaning.
Kojima: There is an uplifting feeling, isn't there? It is a warmth that is not materialistic, but rather a feeling. I want customers to feel that. I think there are many elements involved, such as the brand's view of the world, the atmosphere of the store, and the local atmosphere, and I would be happy if such invisible things are conveyed to customers while shopping.
