Enjoying inconvenience is the best part of solo camping
Celeina: Mr.Nagasoe selected the song “Kick It Out” by BOOM BOOM SATELLITES.
Takano: Mr.Nagasoe was in charge of this song, listeners. I’m sure many of you have seen it. It has cool graphics and the lyrics come out of your mouth.
Celeina：If there are listeners who haven’t seen it, this would be a good time for them to check it out. And Mr.Nagasoe, we have heard a lot about your work, but is there any culture you like outside of work?
Nagasoe：It’s a bit of a cliché since it’s so popular, but I like camping. I’m especially into solo camping, and I’ve been doing it for about 10 years now.
Takano: So you have a lot of gear?
Nagasoe：No, I don’t have a lot of gear. When I got into solo camping, I realized that it is better to have no gear. If you have too much gear, it’s no fun.
Takano: You mean you prefer inconvenience?
Nagasoe：Yes, that’s right. It is more interesting when there is trouble. Forgot that, forgot this, and so on.
Celeina：What kind of trouble do you enjoy?
Nagasoe：I don’t have so many hard troubles. However, the trigger was a really trivial trouble, but I forgot my chopsticks. As soon as I arrived at the campsite, I wanted to eat a cup of ramen, so I brought a cup of ramen and had hot water ready, but I didn’t have chopsticks. But then I thought, I have knives and wood, so I thought I could at least make chopsticks, so I made some disposable chopsticks. At that time, I wondered if this was a way to have fun. I woke up to the idea that it might be more fun to forget things or not to buy them.
Celeina：Mr. Nagazoe, is there anything you forgot on your most recent solo camping trip?
Nagasoe：It’s not something I forgot, but when I go solo, I don’t put up a tarp, but just a tiny tent with chairs under the blue sky. Then a storm came in the middle of the night, which was not mentioned in the weather forecast at all. It was 2 or 3 am, the wind was strong, the tent collapsed, and I couldn’t sleep.
Celeina：It was an emergency.
Nagasoe：It was an emergency, but then I thought, “What the heck, why don’t I sleep in the car?
Celeina：So simple.
Nagasoe：You don’t have to sleep in a tent, just sleep in the car.
Celeina：There are no rules. It’s your time.
Nagasoe：When it rains heavily, you can hear the sound of the wind and raindrops on the roof of the car. When I was listening to the sound, I felt a sense of security wrapped up inside the car. So, the next day, I pulled up a board in the back of the car and modified the car so that I could sleep in the car.
Takano: You prepare a photo on your iPad.But you did a lot of remodeling. It looks amazing.
Celeina: You put a board in the back seat so that people can sleep or lie down there, right?
Nagasoe： I thought this way we would be safe even if we were hit by a storm at any time.
Takano：It’s amazing that you can make anything. I’m sure you will come to realize many things. It seems to be connected to your work. It’s also a digital detox, isn’t it? We are all digital, aren’t we?
Nagasoe：Yes. Yes, I am.
Celeina：We’ve heard a lot about you, but “FIST BUMP” is a circle of friends connected by “Goo-Touch,” and you introduce your friends to us.
Nagasoe：He is in the same business as me, but he is the director of Studio Color, the company that makes “Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Celeina： In a word?
Nagasoe： An otaku boy with an overly refined sense of style.
Takano: From sense to sense. Thank you very much. Tomorrow, I will connect you to Hibiki Yoshizaki of Studio Khara.
Celeina： “FIST BUMP” today we have filmmaker Masatsugu Nagasoe. Thank you very much.
