J:    What are your pastime activities?

T:    Nothing really but if I have to say something, then it would be sleeping. When you get up - a new day begins.

J:    Where do you go to find inspiration? Where do you go to relax?

T:    Nothing much from the past but more from the present, from the people who have grown up in same era as me because whilst I'm part of the same generation I still get inspired from them and, hopefully, I inspire them at the same time. I feel contented when there is that give and take in inspiration.

J:    What are your 5 most beloved items (at the moment)?

T:    Why don't we list a couple things that I will always hold on to:
* My Philosophy note pads - I have been taking notes and filling my pads with various words and phrases for the last 3 years.
* My scrap folders - I have been collating stuff from a variety of media since I was in junior high school.


J:    Any last comments you would like to add?

T:    I answered your questions as a designer and a director. I am always questioning myself in these roles.

J:    So, who should we interview next?

T:    Someone who is well spoken and is also a very close friend of mine. I work with him for Philosophy and HUGE. His name is Kunichi.
He can be very sarcastic but has a great sense of humor. He is also a genuine Tokyo local.





Thank you very much, TET, for taking the time to do this interview! Nao, thank you and your crew for coordinating all of this on your side!
