From downtown Honolulu, Think Tech Hawaii is available in Japanese. Hello, I'm your host, Yukari Kunisue. Today's broadcast will be about building a unique space with Mr. Yoshi Hirai-shi. Mr. Yoshi, nice to meet you. Yes, nice to meet you. Yes, nice to meet you, Mr. Yoshi. Yes, of course. Yes, there are a lot of unique things going on today. Is this your hat? Yes, it's my style. Your style? Yes. Yes. And there are a lot of things going on. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Can you show us your pictures of the area? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. It's a tea shop and a restaurant in Haitou-en, and it was founded in 2001. 2001 is a very long time ago, right? Yes. It's a work in New York. Yes, I worked in New York for 24 years. Oh, I see. But you're in Hawaii now? Yes, I'm in New York and Hawaii. I'm in Hawaii now. You're in New York, right? Yes, that's right. This is a work with interior design. Let's take a look at the next one. This is a project designed by Mitsubishi Shouji from Tokyo Marunouchi. This was designed with 4 years of brick square design. This is a building with Mitsubishi Shouji. It has 4 floors and a variety of industries. All of this is designed by Mitsubishi Shouji. That's great. This is designed by Mitsubishi Shouji. This is also designed by Mitsubishi Shouji. This is also designed by Mitsubishi Shouji. This is also designed by Mitsubishi Shouji. There are many interior designs. There are many interior designs. I'll show you the work in Hawaii now. Next one, please. This is a paint house by Trump Tower. It's called Diamond Suite. Diamond Suite? Yes. I sketched all the chandeliers and made a stainless steel wall by myself. I made a diamond wall by myself. I made a diamond wall by myself. Can you do that? I made it in my own way. I want to make the modern design and materials in the area. I see. I just showed you the work in Hawaii in New York, Tokyo. There are only three of them, right? Yes. In the world... In the world of 10 countries. In 10 countries? Yes. In Europe and Asia. I've been designing for 34 years. 34 years? Yes. For a long time. That's right. There is also an office in New York. Yes. It's on the outside. Now, it's in Hawaii. It's been a long time in Hawaii. It's in the center of Hawaii. Yes, it's in the center of Hawaii. You are active as an artist. Yes. I like drawing. I've been drawing since I was 5 years old. All the white walls in the house were my own. I didn't have to do that. I drew more houses. All of them were my own. That's the point. That's great, Dad. You didn't have to draw the walls? No, I didn't. When I drew a nice house, I bought a crayon. It was 8 meters tall and 2.5 meters tall. All the white walls were my own. Are you still in the house? Yes, I'm still in the house. That's a shame. I think you've drawn a sketch in the past few decades. I'd like to show you that. You can take a look at the sketches. This is a hotel in the spring. Yes. I designed a boutique in the hotel in the spring. Yes. I drew a sketch in the spring. It looks like a sunset in Hawaii. That's right. Next one. This is a view of Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan. It's a very New York view. It's a view of the city that has disappeared. I think it's the most old-fashioned view. I see. That's great. I like to draw nature, not just buildings. I also like to draw leaves. This is Sontland Park. This is the Dakota House. Yes. If you draw the nature and architecture of the church, it's very easy to draw. I see. It's not just straight lines. It's like your own meditation. That's right. It's like going to the gym. I don't want to stop in the middle, but it feels great to draw until the end. I like it. For example, how long do you draw your current work? I think about an hour and a half. Is that all you can do? I have to concentrate and draw. When I'm drawing, I start talking to the buildings. I have to look at the details of the buildings. There's a round window here. The buildings come to me. I'm in the 50s and 55s in Europe. There's a time when the buildings come to me. At that time, I can draw a natural and good picture. It's like building while you're being born. The buildings come to me when I talk to them. When I look at the building, I can see a window here when I draw a picture. It's like just taking a picture. I'm curious to know that you all take pictures with a straight line. It's only one second at that time. When I look at it for an hour, I wonder what I was thinking when I made it. I see. It's very fun. I like to draw pictures when I'm small. You liked the atmosphere. Yes. When I was in high school, I traveled with my friends during summer vacation. I stopped by the amusement park in the middle of the world. At that time, it was an old building in Japan. There was a chance to see a historical museum. When I was in that space, I felt calm. I was very happy. I thought it was a building that could be influenced by people's hearts. I thought it was a high school. It creates something, but it creates the space. People who live and go there create something that gives them a sense of kindness. Yes. Kindness, joy. In the space I created with my imagination, it's a moment of my life, but if I can be happy by being there, I think it's the best job. It's the same job even if I'm born again. It's wonderful. Even if I'm born again, I would like to become an architect again. I think that the fact that many countries have been surrounded is very powerful by Yoshi-san. Yes. Do you have any influence on this kind of thing? I think the biggest influence is that I can't get into Gilesia's Parthenon temple. When I was scared that I didn't know, I went in from the back of the building as soon as I got into the building. I was in the building, and there was a 6-meter-long large stone floor. The top floor was made of wood, so it was all melted away. I had a nap there. You had a nap in the Parthenon. Yes. At that time, I knew that the energy of the building had been absorbed into the atmosphere. I was inspired by the energy of the space. That's right. Your body became thicker. My body became thicker. I had never thought that I would be able to get something like that from the space of the building. That's right. It's not common. Yes. For example, if I go to the room of the building, my heart will fall. If I go to a bar, I want to dance. That's true. Yes. But as Yoshi-san said, there is a building here, and the building talks to you. That's the first time I've heard of it. That's right. My name is Design Doctor. Design Doctor? Yes. In English, the space is where you live. It is decided by the person who you are, where you live. Yes. There is a word, but even if you have a lot of money, you don't know how to buy furniture or how to color it. I saw a lot of money in New York. I see. Yes. As a designer, I always wanted to make the space of the building beautiful so that the doctor can make it beautiful. I never thought of Design Doctor. I see. For example, it's called a balloon. For example, the wind doesn't pass this way. Does that have anything to do with it? Yes, it does. For example, if you have a hotel or restaurant in this space, you can feel the energy. Yes. For example, if you go out in the evening, you can feel the energy. If you open the window there and the wind blows, the space becomes better. That's called a balloon. The work you showed in the picture was quite simple, but it was warm and calm. That's what I received. I see. Are you interested in that? Yes. There are a lot of things in the world and if you look at famous designers, what they learned is less is more. Less is more? Yes. The most beautiful thing is the one that was left with the balloon. I'm not very confident so I put it on or this one. Then it looks like it's done. Yes. The truth is that it's a fake one. Yes. Well, I'm thinking about it, but it's something I don't need. The first simple balance was the one that made it the most. Yes. That's what I'm aiming for. Yes. And the old one and the new one were well balanced and the old new space was comfortable. I understood that. Yes. I think it's just natural materials. Yes. In order to give softness to the natural materials, it's a modern process. Yes. It's the first time I've learned how to make it. I see. I brought it from various places and I have a lot of materials, but I'm going to make it simple by doing it by doing it by doing it by doing it. Yes. I think it's like it's deep. Yes. It's a philosophical architecture. Yes. Yes. Yes. Well, in Japan, for example, in Zendera, there is such a place. Yes. Yes. It's very deep, but it has a little curve. Yes. That means there is a lot of Japanese cultural architecture. Yes. After all, I was born as a Japanese person, so I think there is the essence of Japanese culture in the DNA. Yes. Every year, I try to go to Kyoto as much as possible. Yes. After all, the moon looks the most beautiful. Yes. It is placed diagonally. Oh, I see. Yes. When I did that, I thought of the ancient Tatsujin. Those people were really building in space. Yes. After all, there are a lot of original architecture designs. Yes. On the other hand, there are completely different designs in New York or New York. Yes. They are walking. They are walking in the world. I see. New York is like that. Yes. But there are no restrictions there. Yes. Both are both songs. I see. That is important. Yes. I will take a little rest here. I will take a little rest until I have enough time, but I will continue to talk about the second half. We are going to take a short break here and we will be right back after the break.

In fact, there are a lot of people who are working in the world, and they think that they have to pay a lot of money to get a job. So, what kind of person is a good person? There is a project where you can easily write a job and a job and show it. The hat is also covered. If you talk to a person like this, it feels very easy to get a job. So, it's not that hard to get a job. That's right. I thought it would be great if you could watch it in the video. So, do you get a job as a doctor? Actually, I got an urgent call. I don't have a budget, but I haven't done anything since I moved here. So, I want you to change your job and be more fresh. That's what I'm doing now. So, by changing your interior and design, you can have a sense of community. That's right. That's the way. I think that's the way. I think that's the way. You need a space that is suitable for business. You can eat a lot of high-class food. You can sit comfortably, or you can sit comfortably. When you sit, the weightless is easy to see. That's the way to think. Everything is important. It's a common art of Europe. It's a common art of Europe. Yes, it's a common art of Europe. So, I chose the architecture of art of Musashi University. I see. Now, we have a question for Yoshi-san. Why did you become like this? Why did you become like this? You can do a lot of things. What motivated you the most? When I was in my 20s, I was back-backed for two months in Europe. At that time, while I was on the train in Europe, I saw the Japanese culture. You felt that in Italy? Yes, I felt that in Italy. I thought that if I didn't see many countries, I wouldn't be able to live my own life. So, I decided to go to the same country as my birthday. What was the same as your birthday? I went to Europe in my 20s. So, I decided to go to Europe when I was 25 years old. So, you went to Europe when you were 25 years old. Yes, I went to Europe when I was 25 years old. So, when you look at the various spaces, there is a creative pull-out. You go in there. You go to the first floor, you look at the old building, you buy things, and everything is inputted. So, one day, you use this idea. There is a time. So, you go out in the middle of the day. Yes, you are exposed. You go out in the middle of the day. Yes, I see. I have a lot of internet and I don't have a passport. I have a lot of people who don't understand me. But I want to see my own country in various countries. I want to see my own country in various countries. So, I want to see the world more than 200 countries. I want to see what kind of things there are. I see. I want to see, eat, I want to see, eat, I want to see, eat, I want not to see hungry people. You Won. W Won. W Won. W Won. W Won! Thank you very much! That at the end of the video, For example, when I was in the German department at the time of the rotation, the grandma was always inside the grandma's room. The guests were all laughing at me. While the grandma was laughing, she went into the space she designed and completed my space. The joy at that time was more than the whole body. I was a little nervous, too. I was happy to do that. When I was at the Kagara Hotel, there was a big fire in front of the elevator. It was 4 meters long and it was heavy. When I sketched it, I made a story. In front of it, two happy people took a picture and continued the happiness. I drew a pile-up of the symbol of happiness and in front of it, the person who took the picture became happy. I thought of a story and made it and made it. I see. In front of the elevator, the person who came to Hawaii was laughing. I think you should watch it. But in the process of designing and building, and in the process of doing a lot of things, I heard that you are planning a lot of things from now on. That's right. I think it will be completed in about three years. The project called Racing Circuit Hawaii is called Circuit Hawaii. There is no racing field in Hawaii, so the course itself is made by an English designer. I am a clubhouse. When I become a member, I can ride a car there. I have a fair ride, a Lamborghini, a luxury car, but there are many places where I can run. I can do it in the paradise of Hawaii, and I can also come to Hawaii when I have a circuit in Asia. There is a private airport next to it, so there is a private airport and I can ride my own car in my private jet. It's a great project. I am a creative director of a new lifestyle. You are a creative director. How long does it take to get there? It takes about 40 minutes from Hawaii. I see. It's a digital era, so the people who are born now take photos of the world, and ask their opinions in design. I am going to do business like that. I can't meet them directly, but if they send me a photo, I will get better at it. I want to do design services with my hands. So you are an online doctor. Yes, I am an online doctor. For example, if you are in the next generation, I would like to bring a man who is still working in a small company. Yes, I do. I don't have a good idea about design, but I want to be in a suitable space. So I will give you an idea. I will take this wall out and I will see the sea from the bath. I will understand that. I will give you a digital suggestion. I see. I think there are not many people who are touching like Mr. Yoshida. I wanted to ask you. Do you have any idea about the fact that you are a little stuck? Yes, I do. Do you take out the wall? Yes, I do. I am a Christian, so no matter how much I worry, God will look at me. I am not alone. I will never take out the wall that I cannot pass. I will be more amazing if I pass this wall. I see. Right now, I am in the kitchen, but I have not been in the kitchen for a year or two, so I am looking forward to the next generation. I will shift my feelings. I thought you were very upset about what you just said. For example, in the universe, there is something more than myself. I have been inspired from there, but the wall that I am hitting is actually to be able to go over it, this wall came out. That's right. There is a meaning to it. I talked to you once before. At that time, there is a order in life. Let's talk about the order. I am a Christian, so I have a god. My second wife is a wife. My third wife is a child. My fourth wife is healthy. I have melted down in the first class of JAL. I started my own company. At the time of the Atlanta Olympics, I was going to my house. I had to take care of myself at home. I had to go back to my home for 10 days. I couldn't do anything unless I was healthy. That's true. My fifth wife is a job. My sixth wife is a hobby. I have a schedule for a week. First, I make a promise to my wife and a promise to my children. Then I go to work. How old are you? I am 12 years old and 9 years old. When you are having fun? Yes, when we can do something together. I see. I have a lot of health and work. You have a hobby. Do you have any other hobbies besides work? I like traveling the most. I have two children. I have been traveling. I grow up. I have a lot of troubles. I have to overcome them. You have 55 countries. Do you want to go to other countries? I want to stay with my family for a week. You want to stay with your family for a week? I want to stay with my family for a week. I want to stay with my family for a week. You want to stay with your family for a week? I am 60 years old. I want to tell you one last thing. Do you have any greatest influence. because of your architecture? I live in Japan. I live in Japan. I live in Japan. I am from L.A. I have seen all his architecture in the USA. I like living in the USA. I am happy to see my family. I have another family. I am a Spanish architecture. It's the first time I felt like I was born as a genius. I feel like I've been given a week's time to think about the Sakura family of Gaudi. I feel the same way as the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. I feel the atmosphere. I think that's the spirit. I see. And Gaudi-san is really good at this. I like that kind of world too. I'm not saying I like it, but I'm thinking about the shape of the arch. I want to hear more about it. Finally, if you want to contact a doctor, how would you like to contact him? As mentioned at the end of the commercial, we have a number and an e-mail address. Please contact him. Please go back and watch the video. It's almost time. Thank you for your conversation today, Yoshi-san. Thank you very much. We're out of time. Yoshi Shirai-shi, thank you very much for coming. Stay tuned for more shows in Japanese. Thank you all for watching Think Tech Hawaii. I'm your host, Yukari Kunisue. See you next time.
