prologue.2 ( Rather than "showing off" ) _2008.10.04 18:46

A cup of coffee for myself..

 

Whether it became black tea.. or milk..

Or, even if it just meant sitting blankly, lost in music...

For myself.

 

A life like this

is by no means—

only the privilege of those wealthy enough to afford leisure.

 

.

Rather than the kind of outward "showing off"

that comes from sitting on a busy downtown street, paying a high price for it...

I just thought,

wouldn't it be nice to have a space like that near my own home?

That's where this came from.

 

Stepping out in a tracksuit and slippers,

a cup of black tea before bed...

or a strong shot of espresso before work, washing away yesterday's fatigue—

 

.

.

.

.

.

 

Is it that this kind of commercial district doesn't exist because it can't be created?

Or is it considered impossible because such a district doesn't exist?

 

For me,

a firm style matters more than a clear positioning,

and that style

— I only hope it would come from sincerity (a way of life), not from outward appearance.

Opening normal...
