Messages from the future
Today I drove my Porsche in Tokyo. I was surrounded by an atmosphere of freedom and I became excited. As I passed by Kasumigaseki, Akasaka and Roppongi, various people including many foreigners walking in street made me think about the meaning of global peace. Both foreigners and Japanese visiting Kyoto as tourists looked quite different from those doing business in Tokyo. In Tokyo many people looked pale walking lifelessly while I imagined that a truly peaceful world should make everyone live a vigorous life and look like shining brilliantly. When I arrived at our café in Roppongi, the wonderful Idaki Shin sound and his video welcomed me and I realized how our space was different from outside. I smelled the aroma of the best wild forest coffee from the birth place of Ethiopia. This marvelous space was the very one that made human beings fully animated and filled with energy to open up a future business. Light and wind coming from our future were provided here and many new ideas came up in my mind and all of them looked promising. I wanted to invite everybody walking in the street. Meanwhile, I used to explain that Idaki signified to embrace our future, so its symbolic meaning was realized as our café shop in Roppongi. I was looking forward to going to bed tonight and waking up tomorrow morning to receive a new light and wind coming from our future that would made me bear wonderful ideas to be realized in actual life.
