J:    Do you see differences in the value of the content when online or in a magazine? T:    Yes I think there are differences - a magazine you can own and it can be added to one's collection. You can't do this with web magazines. J:    Beinghunted is about searching and finding products, ideas, and also people. What are you looking for – online and in the 'real world'? Have you found it yet? T:    What I expect from online are immediate rewards. I can find out what I need to know within a few seconds through the archives or via links. On the other hand, it would take more time in the 'real world' to find the same information. I believe it is better not to rush things but to allow yourself enough time to get a fuller understanding. In the end, the experience and how much time and effort you put into what you have done is the point - it is the means to live. J:    Where were you born and what do you remember about your home as a child? T:     I was born in Tokyo, Japan in an area called Shibuya. I still remember clearly what I did each season as a kid growing up. In spring, I tried to catch horn tails which are a kind of bee which do not sting. I went camping with family and friends during summer. I used to search for nuts under the leaves in fall and had snowball fights with white breath in winter. I remember that I was always playing around as a kid. J:    We all remember those key-experiences from childhood that had a lasting effect on who we are today, what we are doing – for myself: my visit to NYC in 1985 and seeing Graffiti there – what's one such experience of yours? In which ways did this experience influence you? T:    Influence from sub-cultures are different but if what I create expresses the experiences I had during the four seasons in my childhood, I'd be happy with that.
