Being able to talk with people in close proximity is rewarding and worth living for.
Celeina:Mr.Omae,you work at the counter. Do you feel the joy of communication that only a sushi restaurant can offer?
Omae:Conversation with customers is the most enjoyable and rewarding part of my job. Because we are so close to our customers, we naturally get to talk with them in depth and hear many different stories. I am in a kind of hole-in-the-wall all the time, and I hear stories about various professions and the world.
Takano: It’s like a snack bar or a bar.
Omae: I like to be able to talk in this kind of distance, so it didn’t have to be a sushi bar as long as I could do that.
Celeina: Perhaps your desire to chat comes from the fact that you like radio. Here, I would like to send you a song, and I asked Mr.Ohmae to choose a song that we would all like to listen to at this time. Please tell us why you chose it and introduce the song.
Omae:I chose a song that I love. It is “Only You” by Kimyo Reitaro Bizarre Travel Swing Orchestra.
Celeina: “Only You” by Kimyo Reitaro Bizarre Travel Swing Orchestra.
Omae: It’s very moving.
Celeina: Mr. Omae is happy to raise and lower his cough switch(haha).
Omae: It’s a pilgrimage to a holy place.
Celeina: I am glad to hear you say so.
Takano: Usually, when guests come to the stadio, we turn off the cuff lifting and lowering.
Omae:Is it okay for me to do something special like this? thank you.
Celeina:Mr. Omae loves radio, and I heard that his love for radio turned into a podcast.
Omae: That was before podcasts were a thing.
Celeina: You were doing Internet radio. You must have been a radio pioneer before us.
Omae:No, we were just making them on our own and broadcasting them in the sea of the Internet, so it was really just for fun.
Takano: And your partner is that Taiki Yamanaka?
Omae:That’s right. At the time, we were still nobody. We were making radio programs together because we both liked radio, and he said, “I want to be a radio personality. “At that time, there was an audition for J-WAVE, and I thought, “I’ve become a real radio personality”.
Takano: He is also related to GRAND MARQUEE, and I am very grateful to them.
Celeina: You also appeared as a substitute for Takano-san, didn’t you?
Takano: I am glad that we are connected in many ways.
Omae: I feel a connection with you.
Celeina: Do you ever feel like doing a podcast again?
Omae: Teppei Fujita, who was a guest on “FIST BUMP” on Mondays, does it personally, and I have had him as a guest, but I think it is also interesting to talk. I have a client who is in her early 20s and works at an office. She likes to eat and is making her own podcast program, so I am interested in podcast.
Takano: Please do it! And please call us when you do!
