I find “vertical” sacred.

Celeina: What is the “vertical” you mentioned in your profile earlier?

Tanaka: In a word, it is a vector standing vertically from the ground, and I am interested in it because I thought one day that it might be a sacred direction for human beings.

Takano: Do you mean like utility poles or something like that?

Tanaka: Yes, that’s right. On the way to the studio today, I was looking up at Roppongi Hills as I came. I thought I would feel something sacred, but it was a little too big.

Takano: If you ask me, it has a sacred image, like totem poles.

Tanaka: Yes. Totem poles are the same. Also, in Nagano Prefecture, there is a festival where people just put up wooden poles. It is really just a pillar, but everyone worships it.

Celeina:Is this a “vertical area”?

Takano: Is there? Are you trying to create a “vertical area” in the future?

Tanaka: Yes, I am!

Takano: I am looking forward to it. There may be some people who sympathize with you.

Celeina: Now, “FIST BUMP” is a circle of friends connected by gootouch, and you are introducing your friends to us.

Tanaka: There is a drink called root beer, and this is Yu Takada of “THE ROOTBEER JOURNEY” who researches root beer by making it himself and drinking “local root beer” popular in the United States and other countries.

Takano: In a word, what kind of person are you?

Tanaka: An adventurer in root beer.

Celeina: That’s nice. What is your relationship?

Tanaka: I met him through an acquaintance.

Celeina: I see. I wonder if there will be a “root beer club. Tomorrow, I will connect you to Yu Takada of “THE ROOTBEER JOURNEY”. “FIST BUMP” Today we have Mr. Hiroyuki Tanaka, who is working under the name of “Suzuki Planning Co”. Thank you very much.
