The taste of coffee while looking at my car is special
Celeina: You have asked a lot about cars, but is there anything about your life or lifestyle that has changed since you started driving a car?
Ito: The biggest thing is that since my wish to drive a car came true, it has reminded me of how important it is to take good care of our tools as a human being. Also, since I have been able to say that I like cars as a hobby, I have met many people and my life has changed in ways I never expected outside of work. I would like to convey the appeal of cars to everyone, so I would like to invite Celeina and Mr. Takano to get involved with cars.
Takano: When I hear your story, I really want to drive a car. Do you drive every day?
Ito: I drive my AE86 around Tokyo for business meetings and meetings with various companies.
Takano: Since you go to various places, I would like to ask you about your favorite cafes to go to by car.
Celeina: That’s the theme of today’s program.
Ito: I think there is a culture of enjoying cigarettes and coffee when it comes to cars, and I also love coffee. I don’t know much about it, but there is a coffee stand called “HOTEL DRUGS” on Gaien Nishi Dori. There are parking slots so you can park your car there.
Celeina:Is that so?
Ito: That’s right. So I can park my car in front of the stand, order a coffee, and have a coffee in the morning while watching the cars.
Celeina:HOTEL DRUGS is very un-Japanese, but that is why I would like to see Mr. Ito’s car parked there, because it would be too picturesque.
Ito: There are often times when we park our cars side by side in front of a store, and then we all go to a café or something and see our cars lined up in a row and enjoy a good cup of coffee. Like on Sunday mornings, though HOTEL DRUGS is not open on Sundays.
Takano: I’ve been searching and looking at pictures of HOTEL DRUGS, and it looks like it coordinates well with the cars.
Ito: You can drink coffee while looking a little cool (laughs).
Celeina: That’s nice, we heard about a great spot. “FIST BUMP”, we welcomes today Mr. Tokio Ito of the car product label CarService. Thank you very much.
