今年のNo2シリーズやLate S40’sシリーズというTCBの代表的なプロジェクトで、メインモデルを務めてくれたTCBのおじいちゃん。

後日談になりますが、先日京都で開催された藤田一咲先生の写真展で、おじいちゃんがモデルを務められました。会期中には、おじいちゃんを撮影する有料の撮影会や、一咲先生とのトークショーもあったそうです。

忙しい時にTCBに来ると『また来たのかよ』と思うのに、見ない日が続くと『最近おじいちゃん見かけた？』と話題になる。その姿はまるで教室に現れる野良猫そのもの。

これからも特別な写真を撮る時には、頼れるおじいちゃんと一緒に。世界中のどんな絶叫マシーンよりスリリングな、おじいちゃんの運転でロケに行きたいと思います！

This year, our beloved TCB Grandpa played the main model for TCB’s flagship projects, the No.2 series and the Late S40’s series.

As a side note, he recently served as a model for a photo exhibition by renowned photographer Issei Fujita held in Kyoto. During the event, there was a paid photo session where visitors could take pictures of Grandpa, as well as a talk show featuring both Fujita and Grandpa.

When he shows up at TCB during busy times, we can’t help but think, “Oh no, he’s here again.” But when we don’t see him for a while, the team starts asking, “Has anyone seen Grandpa lately?” His presence is just like a stray cat showing up in the classroom—unexpected, yet missed when absent.

Moving forward, we’ll continue relying on Grandpa for those special, impactful photos. And of course, nothing beats heading to the next shoot with him behind the wheel, which is scarier than any roller coaster in the world!
