What we are currently focusing on
takt op. An anime called Destiny has started. I'll be out of the game soon. It's been 4 years so far. 3-4 years for one project.
I continue making products when I'm asked to; I've never initiated any sales myself.
◆ What inspired me to create this
I create things as a solo activity. I drew pictures on the edge of a notebook to make flipbook animations, cut out magazines, wrote articles and made books, and even filmed movies. I just played in my own playground. Self-contained.
When I was painting rocks and selling them on the street in Harajuku, a Lotte distributor saw me and gave me his business card. I went to hang out with them and ended up working on making freebies for Lotte. It became a hit and I went professional.
The family was well-off and there was no problem with food. I thought I would never have to work. Many of the husbands were hairdressers. The rules were of the downtown area. It was a close-knit community. We all participated in festivals together.
◆Working overseas
in Taiwan . Because of language barriers and cultural differences, I was a foreign customer for the first six months. Even if I told them to do something, they wouldn't do it. I had the 50 people who were in charge at first bring their families over, hold picnics once a month, and communicate with them. After about a year, they started doing their jobs. I think the environment in which they were born and raised plays a big role.
At school
At first I thought it was stupid. I was being bullied, so I gave out money to solve the problem. As I continued to do this, I was able to communicate with the people around me, so I no longer needed the money.
I was writing a script for the elementary school drama festival. I was not good at schoolwork, but my teacher had entrusted me with it.
I was expelled three times in junior high school. But the pastor said it was just a suspension. I continued to clean the church from 6:00 for a month. During that time, the pastor prayed for me every time. On my last day, he told me, "God loves a useless kid like you." Those words had a big impact on me, and I thought, "God loves me. Yay! I'll be okay in the future."
My high school was far away. I was tired on Wednesdays, so I took the day off. I was in the film studies club, so I told my school that I was going to see a movie to challenge Kurosawa and Mizoguchi, so I was taking the day off on Wednesdays. My teacher told me that was fine, but that I had to explain the movie I had seen in front of the other students in homeroom on Thursday. This was a great learning experience. I needed to be able to talk and organize what I had seen.
When I was skipping class, the pastor came and asked me, "What movie should we watch now?" I answered, "Strawberry White Paper." The pastor was impressed, and the whole school started going to see it. The Bible test that year was "Describe the love in Strawberry White Paper." That's what makes a school interesting.
He was filming a record of club activities at the request of a classmate who found out he was filming.
The importance of being recognized
The most important thing is that I am recognized. I have been told since high school that "Hirai is a genius!" I went to Leo (Morimoto) when I was about 18. He kept me by his side for about five years. He disciplined me strictly. That's how I was able to have contact with society. Until then, I was arrogant. It was Leo who broke my arrogant nose and told me that I was fine with that.
Do what is asked of you
I have a sponsor, and the process of creating what they want is a never-ending process. I create things that make the person who places the order happy. And 20-30% of that is fun for me. I find it within the order. If the person who places the order is happy, and the customer at the other end is happy, then it's a great success. I look at the client rather than the customer. If the client is happy, then the customer is happy, so I've started looking one step further ahead.
Sometimes I fight with the client because I think the client might not be happy. But if the client says it's okay, I only look at the client. Sometimes I fail. But I think it's okay because I'm making what the client wants.
◆Message for you guys
Fail a lot. I hope we can become a society that accepts failure. Failure is what helps us move forward.
★Postscript
I cut a lot of the video. That's a crime. He talks like that. I want to be a person like him. His family home is a brothel in Mukojima, Sumida, where iU is located, so I asked him to be a super visiting professor, but he's the son of a pretty dangerous brothel. Because he was involved with Yoshimoto Kogyo, we both started playing golf around the same time, and it's thrilling to hear Prince's stories on the way to the golf course. He was so well liked by director Yoji Yamada that he was glued to the set, and the director was 90 years old and Prince was 68 years old, so the film industry seems to think he's a secret child. He's so cool.
