Shibuya culture PROJECT

- First of all, please let your impressions became a look at this "memory of the Baobab".

Protect the tree, and to cherish the natural. It is simple, but has re-recognize the importance of such a thing. These are the ideas that are common to surfing. Trees and creatures, so it does not have the words. I can not say I "opposite!". In conjunction with the sea, or make a port or put a tetrapod, whereby the city is moisture, but probably there is also a benefit to the people, it is a story of the human world only, trees and creatures is being ignored. In this work, we know that even in Africa in developing, there is such a reality. Or rather to be similar also current situation surrounding the recent sea. It will keenly aware of that, environmental destruction is going on in the place now various. But the idea of ​​"the natural important" should be more important in the future.

- The scene was particularly impressive?

It is where the garbage of the last scene were scattered. Similar scene and that scene is, and in the eyes even occasionally sea. To more than aching, I think that I do not know honestly what to do is crossing the head.

- For the traditional lifestyle of West Africa?

Kke hero of the boy was the second son? That family, I was There are somehow great number of children. And had several people wife to the father, the child is that close to 30 people (laughs). Since the country is Islam that Senegal, I was me clearly show the differences in culture by the government and religion. Come to think of it, my Hawaiian friends I'm surprised the Japanese hot spring. Because in Hawaii there is a habit to wear the trunks when entering the Jacuzzi, everyone entering the bath naked me, "I Do not get can not happen! Lie there!", Do not quite believe. Since I also have seen the culture of various countries throughout the expedition, I think I even if there is life like this movie, you obediently accepted.

- In Sakuchu, boy I could not go to school to take care of the cattle in the father's instruction. How did you feel about the reality of the so-called one of Africa?

Since I also go well in the Philippines, I have seen the reality similar. Beside the parent-child begging is say "Please money", the rich who enjoy surfing. When you see a kind of spectacle, now I think about the "happiness of the things that can live routinely". It is not to choose the place of birth, grow circumstances are different in each individual. That's why you feel the preciousness of thing is common. People who can not send even want to send a mediocre life, since you should have a lot in the world.

- The beginning of the movie, about the big tree of the baobab that has been cut down, did you feel something?

I because I do not go back to anymore based on .... Even in Kamakura live in me, it was possible to cut down the tree at the time of apartment construction. Because it takes time to nature to play, I wish I can be old ones to more important, and you keenly aware. However, this is a difficult problem. Sad the other hand, so it does not have the independent servants to the fact that the tree is cut down. We might should I rustic life that was rooted in nature, such as a movie, I also because we are actually various journey riding in a car or airplane.

- The baobab in the movie, but it had been a variety of usage?

In the skin of the fiber stripped from the baobab, how to make a rope

Or make a rope, or even be used as a component of the drug, or has become a juice instead. It was also the scene to take the pain a string made from baobab tied to the feet. While chanting a spell. Although I have thought me with "I Is it true" (laughs).

- Is the natural belief that spirits dwell in the baobab, was interesting?

Yeah, somewhere surfing was also felt like similar. There are I think to be in the base idea that "eventually all come back to me". The sea is not connected from the river, the river is flowing from the mountain. Nature is that the that is directly connected to their own lives, I feel strongly and have a surfing. To cherish the natural, it will of course be a Who's that, but the greatness and the fear that nature has, now feel strongly from becoming professional. So, we were able to understand their thought.

- And from the dry season changes to the rainy season, people went out to suddenly field. For lifestyle snuggled in climate?

It also I'm ish surfer (laughs). If there is no wave went abroad in the shooting, it is really free time. There is also when you are sleeping much rumbling. But when the wave starts to come, beginning to fidget. So, they feel you know really. Close to the mood, such as those to wave waiting for me feelings of the rain waiting. Of course, but more of them by the amount that is directly connected to the living would be severe.

- I think the song is also impressive to be used in the play.

Certainly "Baobab uncle hundred years ago, we are were you the kind of life? Five hundred years ago, we is that? Thousand years ago had any life, it is were you the kind of life?" It looks as though it was. It-old baobab say hundreds of years, even if that is people are dead, trees are kept alive. So I think I have continued staring much. Even if you do not know who the tree know, I mean.

- Of Japan, in particular, life in the city, the opportunity to feel the natural splendor, such as the movie is less. You should learn from this movie?

In order to capture the environmental issues with the immediate problem is, I think you need to know more deeply the nature of. Experience is important to it. If I invite you to enter the sea. Out in his power to off the coast, some time will be painful think wound to the waves. Sharks also scary. Surfing think the best is to feel the power of nature. It by in my, different from the life in the city, you can get another point of view. Come to think of the things on the basis of the sea, to those of their personal belongings, because you will have a different impression than before it.
