In the early summer of 2014 , I decided to live in the Homi complex.

I remember the nostalgia I felt when I first visited the complex on New Year's Eve 2013 and photographed these 14.15 year old boys with multicultural faces who spoke Portuguese.

Eight years have passed since then.

He left the complex in 2018 after the completion of his photo book, but continued to visit the complex after that.

He was reunited with his friends from the complex when he visited the complex in 2021.

. who got married , who became rappers . . who had children.

. those who returned to Brazil , and those who are missing.

Newcomers to the complex.

They cheerfully accepted me as if nothing had happened, even though I had left the apartment complex for the first time in a long time.

Even though they cannot belong to either Japan or Brazil , the friends who grew up in Homi

They all call this apartment complex home.

. I am still part of the same big family of apartment complexes.

. Right now, about 4,000 South American immigrants are living in this Homi complex.
