Ryuya Wakaba x THE NORTH FACE LAB | The intersection of two viewpoints and the new value beyond that

There are tens of thousands of customization patterns
Special hands-on "141 CUSTOM"

Shibuya PARCO "THE NORTH FACE LAB" is the only special SHOP in Kanto where you can experience the wear customization service "141 CUSTOM". In the back of the store, based on the body type data obtained by the 3D scanning system, it is possible to make your own wear even details such as fabric, zipper, and logo color. The craftsmen carefully create one piece that you want to wear for a long time. Tatsuya Wakaba usually says, "I often get involved in works deeply from scripts," without being bound by the actor. It is said that he often wears "THE NORTH FACE" even at actual sites. "It's going down, sir. It is convenient because it has excellent functionality such as water repellent. I don't have much bags, so clothes with lots of pockets I took today can contain a lot of things. "I want to see mountains but don't want to climb up" (laughs). I like traveling, but rather than immerse myself in nature, I like to feel "unknown living" in rural towns where people's lives are rooted."

The mysterious power of "color"
The story created by "emotions"

On this day, Wakaba simulated the customizations, all-black "Nupsi jacket" to the logo. "When I wear the color of black, I feel like the words are transmitted properly. I think it's a color specializing in cutting off my information and communicating something to the other person, so there are many black clothes worn on site. But I really like soft blue in my private life. Originally, I like used clothes and air from the 80s, and my friends from used clothes shops recommend blue and dull colors.…I think it's a familiar color that is naturally around me since I was a teenager. There were no mobile phones in the 1970s and 1980s, and I felt that the mental distance of meeting people and leaving family was farther than it is now. That's why I feel that many stories were born there, and people's emotions often moved. I'm also attracted to that kind of place." On the other hand, the color that expresses itself was "white" (laughs). I usually have a lot of moments to think, "I can't use any color," says the pure and straightforward mind.

Performing is "daily life"
Behind your feelings move

Wakaba grew up in a special environment called "daily life" to put himself in the entertainment world from an early age and perform. "I was a family of popular theater companies, so I continued to transfer, but at one point my mother came to go to the same school all the time. The friends made at that time are still good friends, and if they weren't there, I would be a little more distorted and think Takamoto, and I think it was a little bit more sneaky. There were a lot of moments when I was not good at it. Because they were there, various emotions were born in myself, and I became interested in various things. My local friends are big." In the theater life that has been over 30 years of performing arts, what we value every day is "moving feelings." "I really like a Korean movie called 'Oasis', and I watched it somehow the other day, but I'm really impressed by the feeling that people think of others beyond love." On this day, Wakaba's heart was captured by Unisex's Tagangcho. With a draw cord built in everywhere, this item has a high fit feeling that does not flutter even in rainy winds.

In reality, it's hard because I can't cry.
In search of expressions that don't express

The calm down and multifaceted perspectives of "self and others" and "subjectivity and objectivity" felt from the end of words are also used in film works that supervise and screenplay themselves, from the shooting side to the shooting side. "Whether or not you want to watch as an audience is very important in engaging with the work. I don't really like "expressing" something, and I don't want to express it if possible.…I don't think that. If you cry like a character in a movie when you are sad, I think how easy it is, and on the contrary, I feel that you are a strong person who can do it. The reality is painful because you can't make a weak noise, it's painful because you want to cry but can't cry. Even if you are making fiction, I don't want to do such an easy-to-understand and lie-like expression as much as possible. I'm going up as an actor! I want to be a big one! I'm not really interested in that kind of thing. Rather, for example, I'd like to have such a simple feeling that beautiful scenery is moved by "Wow, it's beautiful" or someone's word "Thank you" is saved."
