"I'm lucky!" Taroout asks the secret of the spell.
Taroout has collaborated with various fashion brands and department stores to design character. The warm and cute characters are popular. This time, we have achieved a collaboration with Taroout. How did it color Q&Q SmileSolar? Here we spoke about the thoughts he put into the design and the Taroout himself.
| Visit Taroout's home!
-This time, we are visiting Taroout's home! Thank you for your continued support today.
Taroout:Don't be nervous somehow (lol) I hope you'll take it.
Character Artist Taroout
-It's a wonderful home. Do you always work here?
Taroout:Yeah. It also serves as a workshop.
-There are a lot of different characters here. I'm somehow moved! What do you think about Taroout when you are making your work?
Taroout:We strive to create designs that won't hurt anyone. Sometimes I get suggested to you, "Why not try drawing a toxic character?" But I think there are quite a few people who get hurt by that character. It may be difficult to make it 100% thorough, but I do make it as conscious as possible.
-All the characters Taroout draws are gentle characters that give a warm feel to them.
| Try it if you're interested and enjoy the changes
-How does Taroout usually spend his time?
Taroout:We invite friends to hold dinner parties, participate in relay races, and try out aquathlons. I've been very active over the past few years.
-You're doing a lot of different things!
Taroout:I wasn't that type before. Because of my job, I often work at home, so I don't have many opportunities to meet people. One day, a friend invited me to run, and I gradually became active. I wasn't particularly interested in running at first, but when I tried it, it was really fun. The same person told me to cook too, and I started cooking too. As I was taught, I got hooked. Then I wanted to invite a friend to show off my food.
-And you're having a dinner party.
Taroout:Yeah. We hold an irregular event where we invite a variety of people to enjoy delicious food, entitled "Taro A Table."
- Will Taroout treat you alone?
Taroout:no. Hospitality is difficult (lol)
I've tried it once, but it's different from the one person, so I had a hard time preparing food for the number of people. I made him wait more than two hours. Since then, we have changed to a style where we all make it and bring it to you. You can also enjoy the fun of making it together, so you can continue without overdoing it.
- Hospitality is difficult... The best thing to do is enjoy it without any effort! I just mentioned the word "Aquathlon" that caught my eye.
Taroout:It's a minor sport, but I think it would be good to imagine that there is no triathlon cycling competition. I decided to try Aquathlon after hurting my leg while running. When I was bored because I couldn't run, a friend recommended me to try swimming. But I was a snake and couldn't swim at all.
-Is that so? It didn't take a lot of courage to get started.
Taroout:I agree. However, I thought this was a good opportunity and started attending school. Over the course of two years, I was able to swim 5km.
-5kg! ? amazing!
Taroout:So, since I was able to swim, I decided to participate in an aquathlon competition with a friend.
- Wasn't swimming in the sea scary?
Taroout:It was incredibly scary. That's why I was able to participate in a team that was conducting sea training and trained hard. However, although I participated in the beginner class, it was so scary that I lost one person. I was planning to participate in the Aquathlon tournament with four friends, but I felt a sense of crisis that if things continued like this, there would be three people on the way back, so I took part in the short distance competition and practiced for a rehearsal.
-How was the tournament?
Taroout:The sea at the venue where we participated was so beautiful that you could see seaweed and fish, and the waves were calm, so we had a great time swimming all the way through.
-That's amazing. However, this year, due to the impact of the new coronavirus, they were unable to easily gather together or participate in such competitions.
Taroout:That's right. I was always alone at work, so it didn't have any impact, but I had fewer opportunities to meet people in my private life, and I felt like something had completely slipped out. I once again realized that spending time with friends was an irreplaceable thing for me. I was a little surprised at how I changed my mind, which used to be common for me to stay home alone.
-As you try out many different things, you discovered new joys and fun. How did you spend this uneasy period of self-restraint?
Taroout:I started to teach myself the piano, which I've been dreaming of since I was a child.
-Is it a piano?
Taroout:If I were to start, I think now is the time.
-amazing. What kind of songs are you practicing?
Taroout:I mainly practice jazz. In the future, I will be playing jazz piano brilliantly in a nursing home and enjoying my last popularity (lol)
Taroout shows off the results of his practice. Play without looking at the sheet music!
-Are you sure you're a popular season? (lol)
Taroout:I think if I start now I'll improve a lot. I will continue to train for the future!
-Taroout, who is taking on a variety of challenges, looks very fulfilling and fun every day!
｜“I'm lucky!” I feel that waywatch
-The collaboration watch is finally complete!
Taroout:Today is my first time seeing the actual product! Wow, I'm happy.
-Taroout is also active as an ambassador for the Ministry of the Environment. Q&Q SmileSolar also uses solar batteries and is engaged in donation activities, and I thought that there was something in common with Taroout in terms of SDGs, so I called out to him.
Taroout:I'm grateful. I have been working as an ambassador for the Ministry of the Environment since 2015, but I was originally indifferent. First, what is eco? I started by thinking about how to act lead to happiness in the future. Of course, it is important to ask people to reduce carbon dioxide and to hold back on something to do so. However, can we really be happy by holding back on all sorts of things? I also think so. This is my opinion, but if we need to move for the future, I would like to be more excited and enriched than patient. For example, you can kintsugeki tea bowls or remake old ones. Using things for a long time will enrich your life and mind, and will lead to the future. I'm still trying to figure out what I should convey as an ambassador, but I want to share the character with the messenger.
-I see. I think it's a wonderful idea.
Taroout:That's why I thought the collaboration with SmileSolar, a Q&Q that moves continuously through the power of nature, was perfect for my own ideas.
-Taroout designs will help you to use it more carefully and for a longer period of time.watchI think it will be. This collaboration watch features a cute rabbit character designed. Please tell us what you put into your design.
Taroout:This character is called Lanny, Lucky Bunny. A lucky rabbit, said to be lucky if you find it. thiswatchI hope that the people who wear the item will say to them, "You're lucky!" and that every time they see it, they will think, "I'm lucky!" I was invited by a friend and started trying out a lot of different things, and I was able to meet a lot of different people. Also, even when the COVID-19 pandemic occurs, people are able to try out the piano that they've always dreamed of, and everything is a lucky one. I would be happy if people who wear this would think, "There are so many things, but I'm lucky."
-Just wearing it will make you feel positive! The belt also includes the phrase "100% so lucky." Maybe you're using "solar"?
Taroout:Did you notice it? That's right. Q&Q I'm wearing it with SmileSolar solar.
-A wonderful idea! The catchy colors make it look great with casual fashion. Finally, please give a message to customers looking forward to collaborative watches.
Taroout:If you're feeling down, remember this collaboration watch. "I'm sure it's okay. You're lucky!" That's what will cheer you up. I also hope you will go out to various places along with your favorite clothes!
-thank you! This lucky lot of peoplewatchLet's deliver it!
