The Beginning of Blue - Tokyo Edition
Bicycle x RC car
The culture of riding RC cars on bicycles and going to play has existed in American culture for a long time. In America, where there is a lot of land, people go to the mountains by bicycle. Trail running with RC cars. We want to spread this "play" to Japan. We at RAYWOOD believe that freedom of play and a playful spirit without barriers are important.
[Blue Beginnings]
It's been a while since I moved to Tokyo. Before I knew it, I had forgotten about the memories of "playing outside" from my time in the countryside. Weekdays and holidays are somehow dull. I needed something I could enjoy, something that would help me forget time. I happened to stop by a used clothing store and saw a Range Rover I found an RC car. I remembered playing with my brother on a mini 4WD car back in the day.
According to the store manager, bicycles are a part of American culture. Apparently, they would take the RC car up to the mountains and do something called "trails" together. I was searching for stories as a magazine editor, but I never thought I would have such an unexpected encounter so close to home. I'm sure there are other interesting things out there that we don't notice. That's what I thought. It's strange, but when you put your antenna up, you realize
Play that creates connections with people
In Tokyo, in the city There were people who were into RC cars. I wanted to join in, and I wasn't the only one who felt that way. I met an old man I didn't know who had the same RC car, and we got into it together. Then I noticed that the old man was gone. I looked around and saw that his bike was gone too. Then the old man came back with a can of coffee. "That's a nice bike. " I felt happy when he praised me because I felt that he was praising my values. When you try something new, you can mysteriously connect with people. One of those games is It was an RC car. I would like to try other things too.
Changing daily life
My ordinary daily life changed into something new. The sky was a beautiful color. Riding an RC car on a bicycle allows for more freedom and more fun. If this kind of play spreads in Japan, we're sure to see more new encounters and discoveries.

You will find many places you have never run before, such as trails in nature and walks along rivers. It is also recommended to run your RC car through beautiful scenery and capture the moment in a photo. Please try to discover new ways to play by putting your RC car on your bike.
