Place of memories
Chronology
Playing with insects and playing in the river, which I did with my grandfather. I imagined changing the flow of the river, weed art at my grandparents’ house, seeing the flow of people at the train station, and thinking that it would be good for the whole place if we improved this way.
Even in elementary school, he did not find games and other things with set answers interesting, and he especially hated quizzes, preferring to make up his own. He sometimes watched TV or read books that other people were watching, but he would change them into his own form.
When he was in the second grade of elementary school, he came into contact with a Japanese SEGA computer DOS/V machine “Teradrive” that his parents bought. He also became interested in artificial intelligence installed on a NEC98 notebook (PC-9801N) that he received secondhand.
I started creating websites around the time I entered high school. In my third year of high school, I became interested in information design and told my homeroom teacher at “Seisoku High School,” where I was enrolled at the time, that I wanted to pursue this career, but he brushed me off, saying “You can’t design anything. He is grateful to his homeroom teacher for that one comment, because it made him decide to go into design.
I went to “Ochanomizu Art Institute” to pursue a career in design, but many of the students around me had been studying since they were very young. When I continued to attend COTA even though I was in the bottom of the class, the two instructors laughed at me and said, “You are the president of a small business. I decided that I did not feel creativity in a race of people who cannot see the budding of small possibilities because of fixed ideas, and I quit the program on the spot.
After that, I tried Yokohama Art Academy and Shonan Art Academy, but I gave up on those schools because I did not like the idea of asking to be taught. While I was losing my way in the design field, I met Mr. Hibiki Uemura (my teacher) at Ault Art Academy. Although it would have taken a lot of time and effort for him to teach me, he saw the potential in me and devoted himself to teaching me.
While pursuing art college, I became more acquainted with senior art college students. While the field of information design at that time was complete at the professor level, there seemed to be many areas where concepts were not well shared among the students. I was also beginning to teach myself how to make websites, and I was often on the opposite end of the spectrum, teaching senior students at art school, so I began to consider vocational school.
My simultaneous live-streaming program connecting multiple locations was featured in a feature story, which was considered a rare occurrence. During the interview, I was asked for my opinion about the company (Livedoor), and although I spoke critically about the acquisition, I heard that the broadcast was edited to praise the company. I heard that this caused a firestorm on an anonymous message board (2channel), but I don’t know because I was taking a nap.
Enters the multimedia director major. He quietly works on his assignments and presentations, but his drawing instructor points out that he should break himself in his next presentation.
In the first year, the theme was “shame” for the midterm work, which was evaluated by all the instructors and experts, and when he appeared in the presentation wearing women’s panties on his head, he became confused and destroyed the atmosphere in the hall.
While I was a student at a vocational school, I applied for a job at a company and received a job offer and started working there as a part-timer, but three months before I started working there, I received a call from the company saying that they were unaware of my job offer, so I hurriedly resumed my job search and was picked up by a design company to join their company.
