An interview with DJ DARUMA.

A man who rose from nothing.

A truly seasoned, thirty-five-year-old man of principle, this DJ.

He was a man for whom such an old-fashioned phrase felt surprisingly fitting.

He loved to play, loved it so much that before he knew it, this is where he ended up.

What a beautiful way to live.

I should write down the memorable phrases before I forget them.

☆ From junior high to high school, I had zero lateness and zero absences.

If you're going to play, keep your promises. I kept my promise to my mother.

☆ By pretending to be older and playing in the adult world,
I learned "right from wrong" not with my head, but with my body.

☆ Our style is one-of-a-kind, found nowhere else in the world,
so we have the confidence to perform anywhere on the globe.

☆ I believe the most important thing is love.
Without love, nothing can begin.

☆ I absolutely never cheat. Part one.
Even if girls scream for me, they see me as Mickey, and who wants to have sex with Mickey?

☆ My role is to make the time I have as enjoyable as possible.
Even if I feel opposition to nuclear power in my heart, I don't want to voice it myself.

☆ I absolutely never cheat. Part two.
If I did, my wife would shoot me dead… (laughs)

☆ From now on, I want to be more helpful to my juniors.


The words of a man who forged his own path are unwavering.

Because I was lucky.

I think anyone who can say this is someone who can objectively assess themselves.
He must have considered various strategies to rise to the top.
However, without a sense of pure intention guiding him, he would succumb to his desires. Pushing forward is not as easy as it seems. Most people give up midway, making excuses to themselves.

Today was another positive, great interview.

I felt great hope in DJ DARUMA's attitude.

Gratitude!!

I was strongly reminded of a photo I took at a New York club when I was twenty-one.
