Nakameguro’s charm lies in its downtown-like distance.
Celeina：It is like matchmaking. Do you continue such activities because you love Nakameguro? Or are you interested in revitalizing the city and want to do it in other places?
Otsuka: At first, I was thinking of revitalizing the city I am in and applying that know-how elsewhere. But now I love Nakameguro, where I live, and my main desire is to make it better.
Celeina：There is nothing better than love, is there?
Takano: That is a good keyword. Yesterday, Mr. Otsuji introduced you as “Nakameguro’s hidden chief.” What do you think is attractive about Nakameguro?
Otsuka: I think Nakameguro has a fashionable or new image when seen from the outside. But in reality, it is a quite downtown area, and I think it is quite rural even in Tokyo. I think the distance that is unique to downtown makes it comfortable.
Takano: I only visited the area once in a while, so I had an image of it as a fashionable place, but when I focused on it, I discovered that it is a warm and welcoming town. Now, I would like to send you a song. I asked Mr. Otsuka to choose a song that he would like everyone to listen to together on the radio at this time. Please tell us the reason for your song selection.
Otsuka: It was a song from an album that was introduced to me by a senior colleague when I used to be a DJ, and it was just so good. I chose a song that I especially wanted people to listen to: “Since I Left You” by The Avalanches.
