糸井重里、篠山紀信、谷川俊太郎、 鈴木敏夫、横尾忠則、坂本龍一。

彼らが僕と同じ年の頃、何を想い、何を考え、 どう働いていたのかを。

What did you do when you were my age?”

Most of our time as adults is spent working.
If that’s the case, I want to do work that makes life fun.
So I asked 12 people whose work has made the world interesting.

They are Yoji Yamada, Kotaro Sawaki, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Satoshi Kuramoto, Yasushi Akimoto, and Hayao Miyazaki,
Shigesato Itoi, Kishin Shinoyama, Shuntaro Tanikawa, Toshio Suzuki, Tadanori Yokoo, and Ryuichi Sakamoto.

I would like to know what they were thinking, what they were thinking, and how they were working when they were my age.
