The true FIST BUMPER is here! How did you become interested in old gadgets?
Celeina：What are the roots of your love for old gadgets?
Nakano: About 10 years ago, when I was in the first grade of elementary school, it was the time when TV broadcasting switched from analog to digital. When my parents bought a new LCD TV, they had a leftover cathode-ray tube TV that they had originally used, so a cathode-ray tube TV came to my room, and I watched movies on it for a long time.
Takano: Then, did you fall in love with the charm of these retro things?
Nakano: Yes, I did. Cassette tapes were just like that.
Celeina：But you don’t watch a movie on a cathode-ray tube TV when you are in elementary school and say, “Cool, this is chic. Your sensibility is sharpened.
Takano: What do you do for a living, Mr. Nakano?
Nakano: I am currently a freelancer.
Takano: You have the atmosphere of running such a store.
Nakano：I have been selling boom boxes from time to time since I was in high school. I have even held a “boom box exhibition” in Osaka in June this year (2023).
Takano: Hey, Celeina. He is a true FIST BUMPER!
Celeina: A true FIST BUMPER! We met.
Takano: People like you, Mr. Nakano, are very welcome!
Nakano:Really, I’m so glad. It’s not easy to get invited to Katsushika-san’s house, because it’s like, “If you’re free, it’s fine.
Takano: By the way, how did you get to know Mr. Katsushika?
Nakano：I found out about “Take-Tombo” on Instagram, where Katsushika-san plays bass guitar as support, and went to their concert this year. We got to know each other there and have become good friends.
Takano: I hear that you listen to a variety of music.
Nakano: Not much, but I like old music.
Takano:Here is Mr. Nakano’s music selection. We asked Ms. Nakano to choose a song that she would like everyone to listen to together on the radio at this time. Please tell us the reason for your song selection.
Nakano：This is a song by an Israeli funk band called SABABA 5 & YURIKA. The vocalist is a dancer who has moved around Egypt, and they are a collaborative unit with the band SABABA 5, but they only have one single. The song is called “Crossroad of Love”.
